Canadian electric vehicles startup opens India office to cater to Indian Industry

Encouraged by the latest Electric Vehicle policy announcements by the government, MakerMax System, a startup dedicated to the advanced lithium battery technologies and Online EV education, has expanded their operations in India with a series of new products and services. One of the product recently launched by the company is a indigenously developed desktop model of the AI enabled Battery Analyser CCAX4 for RnD labs, Battery Pack and BMS developers and comes at a fraction of cost of imported equivalents.

Battery is the costliest part of an electric vehicle and perhaps the most unpredictable.  All the stakeholders in the chain, whether the battery pack maker, OEM or the consumer need to know that they are choosing the right cells and the appropriate chemistry and getting the worth they are paying for in a battery cell. Predicting the useful life takes out the guesswork from the estimation of the TCO (total cost of ownership). This prediction can help in the confidence building in EV adoption, financing and leasing of the batteries as well as the risk free offering of warranty. CCAX4 is a state of the art equipment at a cost effective price that can not only predict the useful life of a battery but also simulate battery behaviour on a standard or customised drive cycle.

Speaking on the sidelines of  ‘The Economic Times Master Classes’ at Gurgaon where he was invited to speak on ‘Lithium Battery Safety’, Akshay Gill an ex-TESLA RnD engineer and the founder director of MakerMax said, India is one of the few countries that has huge potential in the field of Electric Vehicles but also has the largest gap in the skill set required for jobs and businesses. Educational institutes are not able to keep pace with the fast-changing EV technologies and therefore end up churning inadequately-trained engineers. Companies have to invest huge amounts of resources to bring the talent up to a level before they are able to contribute effectively. MakerMax is striving to bridge this gap by providing high quality intensive courses for students and professionals, coupled with uniquely designed hardware kits, interactive live sessions and mentorship from industry experts for enhanced engagement and higher retention. MakerMax helps engineers get the right jobs in up and coming EV ecosystem and also trains the professionals to contribute more effectively to organisations, he added

Some of the popular Online courses available on the MakerMax platform are EV Foundation Certificate course and the Battery Master-Class. Till date more than 4000 students and professionals benefitting from such courses. A major attraction of these interactive courses is a specially designed hardware kit that makes the learning process extremely engaging and effective. The Battery Master Class online class is spread over a duration of four months for easy paced learning of students as well as professionals working in the industry especially in R&D, product development, quality, supply chain and manufacturing.

MakerMax says its courses and products are becoming popular across the globe including North America, Europe, far East, and Asia as they benefit students and professionals to fast track their careers in the electric vehicle industry.
