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!

Solar Panels… pumping life back

Water water everywhere not a drop to drink” is a quote that fits perfectly on India. With an average rainfall of 1,083mm and 306 rivers… India has enough freshwater to fulfill all its needs.

Solar Energy and Solar Thermal Cooking

Thursday, January 15, 2015: (Bhayander): The Bhayander based NGO, Keshav Srushti, in a bid to spread awareness on solar cooking, will be gathering students from 500 schools across Mumbai to cook solar-powered dishes. Keshav Srushti has been accredited by the Guinness Book of World Records for having conducted the largest solar oven cooking class in January 2014 with 3,639 participants from 62 schools. Invigorated by the success, the NGO has announced an annual Maha Suryakumbh on January 15, 2015. This coming workshop is aiming to reach 25,000, and possibly even more, school students.

EV Makers Dilemma – Bike, Car or SUV?

It’s one of the most exciting design challenges of our time. It’s a very rare opportunity to reinvent a common object. Even more difficult is to decide not only what kind of vehicle needs to be reinvented but also the size of that vehicle? Which market sector should these EV companies decide to cater to? Cars? Bikes? Trikes?

How do you charge your EV?  Its time to go Solar!

How we are charging our electric car?  This is a serious question.

Imagine if over a period of time all petrol cars owners get converted to Electric Car owners. Imagine the amount of load that would be put on the Existin Grid during charging of the electric cars. These modern cars would be charging from the old grid that existed 15 to 20 yrs ago, a grid that cannot expand anymore, one that cannot take any more load and such a grid could go offline intermittently and almost on the verge of collapsing completely.

 The biggest question is what if the entire grid fails for a few days or months?… during periods of War or bad weather.

Nissan e-NV200 – The Game Changer

First unveiled in India at the Auto Expo in early 2014, the Nissan Evalia also called the e-NV200 is a hugely promising multipurpose vehicle (MPV), which has proven its mettle overseas (as the NV200). This is one of the most exciting cars to have graced the EV scene. I expect the price of the vehicle to be around Rs. 15,00,000/- (double the price of E2O) and I expect it to be one of the best selling cars even overtaking the Nissan Leaf.

Look of an SUV soul of a van… hope it comes with a 4×4 option!
