Electric vehicles start-up Pure EV, incubated by IIT Hyderabad, is providing lithium batteries to healthcare tech companies that are engaged in the fight against COVID-19 pandemic across India.
The in-house manufactured batteries are used in medical applications such as ventilators and Robotic Sanitation Devices. The start-up supplies batteries for various applications under the brand name ‘Pure Lithium’.
The start-up is working on innovative applications of the lithium batteries. Pure EV primarily uses the lithium batteries in the electric vehicles that the company manufactures.
Pure EV has supplied lithium batteries to IIT Hyderabad Center for Healthcare Entrepreneurship (CfHE)-incubated start-up Aerobiosys Innovations, which has developed low-cost, portable, emergency-use ventilator called ‘Jeevan Lite.’
This device offers protection to healthcare providers and is Internet of Things-enabled. It can be operated with a mobile app. The mass manufacturing of these ventilators will be done by JCB India.
Pure EV has also provided lithium batteries to Eternal Green Innovations who are working in the space of Robotic Healthcare Tech Devices.
The company has significant experience in design and development of high-performance lithium batteries through constant innovation for EV batteries. It has state-of-the-art facilities for the assembly and testing of the Lithium Battery Packs.
Pure EV, which raised USD 35 million in a funding a few months ago and was incubated by IIT Hyderabad in Telangana, launched its high-speed electric scooter ‘EPluto 7G’ in February 2020.
It has established 40,000 sq ft state-of-the-art facility, co-located with IIT Hyderabad, for cutting-edge R&D and for large-scale production of electric vehicles and electric batteries. The company has current battery manufacturing capacity of five MWh per month at its facility.
