-
- Cost Estimation [only for additions]
- Design Report [only for additions]
- Supportive Documents [e.g. calculations, design iterations, etc. only for additions]
9- Assessment- Assessment is done to postulate the much-required review on the work done, reports, cost, and utility of the innovations/upgrades. A pre-assigned group of technical experts from the EV industry examines the reports and suggests teams the potential changes to be made before the expo.
