Batteries used in electric vehicles have specific lifecycles. The life of the battery is affected by charging/discharging cycles, and the current fast charging techniques lower the life of a battery even more. How can the life times of batteries be extended?
Electric, Hybrid And Plug In Hybrid Electric Cars Challenges

Decreasing the Cost of Batteries in Electriv Vehicles
Batteries constitute a significant cost component in EVs. How can battery costs be lowered, thereby significantly lowering the cost of electric vehicles?

Electric Car End of Life Waste Handling and Recycling Infrastructure
Handling of hazardous materials used in electric vehicles (much like eWaste management) at the end of operational life of the vehicle is a pain point. Thus recycling facilities specific to electric vehicles would be a great boon as these possibly reduce the cost and makes waste management easier. What are the ways by which an optimal waste handling and recycling infrastructure could be built?

Securing Supply of Lithium and Other Rare Earth Materials Used in Electric Car Batteries
Based on current research, the future lies in lithium ion batteries. But supply of lithium is limited, and hence the security of supply of lithium has to be ensured to sustain growth of EVs. How can this problem be managed?

Standardization of EV Technology and Associated Charging Infrastructure
In the current breed of fossil fuel powered vehicles, the refuelling mechanism is standardized. Thus the different makes/models of vehicles can be used at the same refuelling station. Standardization of EV technology helps promote the growth of recharging infrastructure, as a predefined set of rules has to be adhered to while opening up a new charging station, as this ensures that the same electric vehicle can be used in multiple locations (in different regions or different countries). How can such standardization be accelerated?

Reducing Drag Coefficient of Electric Vehicles
Drag has a direct impact on vehicle performance, because it drastically reduces vehicle range on a single charge (by up to 20%). How can this drag be reduced?

Increasing the Energy Density of Batteries with Lower Weights in Electric Vehicles
How can higher energy density batteries at lower weights be achieved for electric vehicles?

Improving Reliability of Electric Vehicles under Unfavourable Conditions
Electric vehicles have a tendency to break down under cold weather conditions due to equipment failure. In addition, rough handling of vehicles has a negative impact on performance as the batteries used in the vehicles are highly sensitive to mechanical shock. How can the reliability of electric vehicles be improved on both these aspects?

Reducing Recharging Time of Batteries in Electric Vehicles
Batteries used in electric vehicles take considerable amounts of time to get charged, and this is an important bottleneck to EV adoption. What could be done to lower the charging duration?
