❗Lack of visibility across system states and operating modes, ❗Challenges in validating multi-domain electrical limits, ❗Difficulty in testing cross-system fault propagation, ❗Limited visibility into sensor and signal integrity, ❗Challenges in validating communication and synchronization........ These challenges are critical for EV integration testing, yet difficult, unsafe, or time-consuming to reproduce using traditional methods. As a result, many system-level interactions remain under-tested until later stages of development, introducing significant risk. Hardware-In-Loop (HIL) testing addresses this by enabling full vehicle simulation, coordinated fault injection, and end-to-end system validation in a safe, repeatable environment. In our latest blog, we break down five major EV integration testing challenges and how HIL solves each one. Read the full blog: https://lnkd.in/gtVGVnVq

From building early battery prototypes on campus to leading one of India’s most iconic EV companies, this journey has been anything but conventional. At the Global Clean Mobility Summit (GCMS) 2025, Tarun Mehta, Co-founder & CEO, Ather Energy, joined a candid fireside chat on building a deep-tech company from India. In conversation with Kris Gopalakrishnan, Co-founder, Infosys; President, Infosys Science Foundation; Chairman, Axilor Ventures; and Chief Jury, Micelio Mobility Awards, the discussion unpacked: 🌌 Why deep-tech startups struggle without traditional metrics 🌌 The need to rethink R&D as a long-term investment, not a cost 🌌 How India can move from product adoption to setting global standards From IIT Madras labs to IPO, this is a story of conviction, persistence, and building for the long term.

In today’s episode of Conversations at #IndiaTechReport I sit down with Anoop Srikantaswamy, founder and CEO of Moonrider.ai, an electric tractor startup in Bengaluru. Anoop and his fellow founder Ravi Kulkarni bring deep background in the industry, having previously worked at automotive giants such as Toyota and Volvo Group. Mechanical engineers by training, the two are entrepreneurs at heart, with Anoop having previously attempted a hyper-local medicine delivery venture while Ravi co-founded another electric mobility venture that he exited. Anoop recalled that the idea for Moonrider was sparked by a conversation with a progressive farmer, who noted that while diesel is expensive, farm electricity is often free. Today, Moonrider is a vertically integrated leader, developing proprietary battery technology and power electronics in-house to achieve price parity with diesel. Moonrider is backed by investors including pi Ventures, Singularity AMC, Advantedge Founders and Micelio. In this conversation, we explore their moonshot journey — named in honour of the Chandrayaan launch — and discuss the future of connected and autonomous farming. Join us for an inside look at how Moonrider aims to drive the global shift toward sustainable, electric mechanisation. #ev #startup https://lnkd.in/egYrpJuq

How does a Battery Cycler ensure accurate and reliable test results? One of the biggest challenges in battery validation is ensuring that test results truly reflect real world performance. Even small fluctuations in voltage, current, or temperature during charging and discharging cycles can lead to inconsistent data, inaccurate performance evaluation, and unreliable battery behaviour in the field. This is where Battery Cyclers become critical. By maintaining precise control over testing parameters and continuously monitoring battery behaviour, Battery Cyclers create a controlled environment that closely replicates real world operating conditions. This enables you to confidently evaluate parameters like capacity, lifecycle performance, drive cycle behaviour, and BMS protection response - helping you identify issues early and build more reliable battery systems to help you #BuildBetter. At Micelio Discovery Studio (MDS), you can access Battery Cyclers through a pay per use model, enabling comprehensive battery testing without heavy upfront investment. 👉 Know more: https://lnkd.in/gTajPtEM

At the Global Clean Mobility Summit 2025, the roundtable discussion on “From Labs to Factories: Making India Ready for the Clean Mobility Revolution” explored one of the most critical challenges in India’s EV ecosystem - bridging the gap between knowledge, capability, and execution. The session featured: Ashish Verma - Professor of Transportation Systems Engineering, Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Anandi Iyer - Head, India Office, Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Dr. Vinutha Srikanth - General Manager – New Energy Initiative, Mobility Group, Reliance Industries Limited Ujjwala Karle - Senior Deputy Director – Technology Group, Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) Moderated by Vidya Shankar M. The discussion highlighted: 🌌 Why research excellence alone does not translate into scalable products 🌌 The need for stronger academia-industry collaboration and institutional frameworks 🌌 Closing the “valley of death” between lab innovation and commercialization 🌌 Why experiential learning, living labs, and real-world problem-solving are essential 🌌 The urgency of moving from service-led growth to product-led innovation in mobility As India positions itself as a global clean mobility hub, the focus must shift from what we know to what we can build, test, validate, and scale.

Your VCU may work perfectly in isolation❗ But what happens when the entire vehicle starts talking at once? ⚠️ Multiple operating modes ⚠️ Continuous communication between subsystems ⚠️ Dynamic power distribution decisions ⚠️ Sensor inputs changing in milliseconds ⚠️ Faults propagating across the vehicle unexpectedly This is where many EV teams hit a wall. Because validating a Vehicle Control Unit isn’t just about checking whether commands execute. It’s about understanding how the VCU behaves when the entire vehicle ecosystem becomes unpredictable. And relying only on physical prototypes to uncover these issues often means: ❌ Longer validation cycles ❌ Higher debugging costs ❌ Hard-to-reproduce failures ❌ Delayed development timelines So how do teams validate complex VCU behaviour before these issues appear on the road? Our latest blog explores 5 major VCU testing challenges in EVs and how Hardware-In-Loop (HIL) testing helps engineers simulate, validate, and fail safely before real-world deployment.

❗❗ SHORT CIRCUIT EVENT - triggered by internal cell faults, external shorts, or sudden current surges can cause rapid voltage collapse and thermal rise within seconds. The real question is: How does your BMS respond when a short circuit occurs? 🌌 Does it detect the fault instantly? 🌌 Does it trigger protection logic before damage escalates? 🌌 Does it communicate fault alerts reliably over CAN? Validating this on a physical vehicle is not just difficult, it is risky and often inconsistent. With Hardware-In-Loop testing, these scenarios can be precisely emulated. Engineers can inject short circuit conditions, monitor cell voltage behaviour and temperature rise, and verify BMS protection response in a controlled, repeatable environment. Because reliability is not defined by normal operation, but by how your system behaves under stress. #FailBetterBuildBetter Curious to see how short circuit scenarios are tested in practice?

What types of motors can be tested using a Motor Test Bench? A wide range of motors can be tested using a motor test bench - including AC motors like induction, synchronous, servo, and stepper motors, as well as DC motors such as brushed, brush-less (BLDC), and series or shunt wound motors. This also extends to EV-specific motors like PMSM and induction motors, along with linear and universal motors - giving you the flexibility to test across multiple applications and use cases. This allows you to evaluate motor performance across parameters like torque, speed, efficiency, and temperature - helping you ensure reliability and consistent performance so you can #BuildBetter. At Micelio Discovery Studio (MDS), you can access motor test benches through a pay-per-use model, enabling you to run comprehensive testing without heavy upfront investment. 👉 Know more: https://lnkd.in/gm_YgJDv
