FAME Subsidy

Thanks shreyas.

That’s a nice gift of 5k for people who had their vehicle deliveries delayed by a month! :clap:
Interested to know how the subsidy amount is 27,000 and not 24,000. FAME II says that the subsidy will be 10000 per kWh and the 450 is 2.4kWh

For the 27K subsidy, my guess is technically they have a capacity of 2.7 kwh in the battery but the BMS limits it to 2.4 kwh for longer battery life.

So they got the subsidy for the actual capacity of the battery before being limited by software.

Could be… That’s a nice guess… Otherwise I could not think of any reason

Finally the news breaks. Worth the wait. Hoping payment windows are refreshed soon.

What @rjaswant said is almost correct. We’ve always had 2.7.1 kWh of battery capacity total, but have limited it to a usable capacity of 2.4 kWh to improve the life of the battery by limiting upper and lower charging and discharging bands.

Had briefly hinted the same during an earlier discussion:

Now, since the subsidy is provided at the total battery capacity and not the usable capacity, customers get the advantage of a higher subsidy. :slight_smile:

Similar to the Owner’s meet where there were close to 100 Athers,
100 Athers delivered at the same time will be cool!
