About PlugInCaroo

Let us as a Nation move towards fuel efficient vehicles, clean water, green farms and a clean-green environment! India receives some of the highest rainfall in the world... still the country thirst for water... why? India has the highest cattle population in the world...but hardly extracts any biogas/gobar-gas from it... why? India tops the world in almost all agricultural products... but less than 1% is organic/natural... why? India receives good sunlight and has a Solar powered Airport... but less than 0.01% of houses are powered by solar power... why? India has the best electric/CNG car in the world (E2O/Tata NANO).. but 99.99% of car owners prefer to pay in dollars for their petrol.. why? (1Ltr = 1$ almost). All these problems can be solved by us 100% within our lifetime... if we take action to solve these issues personally and bringing awareness about it, (instead of discussing TV serials, celebrities, cricket scores & political parties). Let us together build a bridge of knowledge over ignorance! Lets us become independent from "Fuel, Water and Seed control". Right from the time when fire was discovered as a source of energy people have been trying to control the source of energy... not any more!

Farming with Zero Cost – the power of Zero!

In India chemical fertilizers sell a lot… those that we call Urea, DAP, Superphosphate… and chemical pesticides… those that we call Endosalfan, Malathion, Parathion, Benzenehexachloride. These are the products where the profit of the farmers are lost the most. Every year (recorded in year 2008) the Indian farmers together spend 4,80,000 Crores on these chemicals and this is completely avoidable expense.

If you put this in perspective… Continue reading

Mahindra E2O Plus – Review

The world is moving towards banning Petrol & Diesel for all vehicles by the year 2025. The use of Electric vehicles are becoming more real than ever before. India has 2 good electric cars in E2O & E2O Plus. The cost of travelling in these cars are as cheap as travelling by a motocycle. Since this car does not use Petrol or Diesel (which are very expensive and harmful fuel)… you can save as much as Rupees 1 Lakh a year on fuel cost…especially if you drive a total distance of 100kms.

The maths is very simple… to recharge this “E2O Plus” P8-version car you will need just Rs 100 and you get 140km range. Most people travel within this range.

140kms with a petrol car will… Continue reading

Electric Car – India & 2025 impact

We have tried to put together a video to simplify the understanding of an electric car, what it is and how it works?

Its so easy that OS Vehicle is a street legal (slow speed) electric vehicle available to be ordered online to your doorstep. The best thing about it is it can be assembled by anybody in 1 hour. You can even modify it as you want and add seating, cargo-cart, hybrid features or exterior or safety features to it.

Wonder if there will be a Indian company that will try something like this?

The deadline of 2025 is fast approaching and the Petrol/Diesel vehicles you drive today will not be worth scrap value then. The death of diesel will happen even before 2020! So make sure your next vehicle will be an electric vehicle.

The Indian Govt too has highlighted this fact by ensuring that the switch to electric is smooth and there are no complaints by offering ZERO DOWN-PAYMENT and EMI lower thats 1/3rd of your refueling cost. The Govt has targeted as 2030 as 100% Electric vehicle Year.

India to become 100% e-vehicle nation by 2030: Piyush Goyal

The government is working on a scheme to provide electric cars on zero down payment for which people can pay out of their savings on petrol & maintenance, for becoming 100% electric vehicle nation by 2030.

India could become the first country of its size to run 100% of its vehicles on battery. This programme will be self financing and there need not be one rupee support from the government nor one rupee investment from the people of India as per power minister Piyush Goyal at an event organised by CII Young India here.

Electric cars can be given for zero down payment and… Continue reading

Uber a Billion dollar fraud… China 1st country to take action on Uber

China is the 1st country which took action on Uber for the exploitation, profiteering and destruction of its taxi industry. Applause!

In China under the new Government regulations, the data collected by Uber would come under the purview of the government. There would be no more subsidies. Market prices would prevail, the regulations state, “except when municipal government officials believe it is necessary to implement government-guided pricing.” According to Xinhua, ride-hailing companies would be urged to merge with taxi companies. Moreover Government would do the background checks of the drivers and provide them licence for being eligible for app-based car service (well done China). On-line and off-line services would be regulated separately.

China was quick to see through… Continue reading
