Donald Trump is not an EV guy… actually he has no idea about Electric cars and clean energy. In the below interview he says its completely useless… and its very clear that it is not one of his forte nor is he informed about it… He sure would get smarter about it a couple of years later by which time US would loose a few important years of lead in the race… but he knows for sure that China is killing US.
Now if… Continue reading
Toyota Motor intends to start mass-producing electric vehicles by 2020,doing a complete U-Turn on hydrogen cars…. and what more they aim to develop EVs that can run more than 300km on a single charge.
Now Toyota has been kind of a pioneer in electric cars with its RAV4 Electric car… and they have timed it perfectly to coincide with the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, when the world will be watching Japan.
The vehicle also would be released in “KEY MARKETS” where governments are pushing for EV adoption (read INDIA). There are only 3 key markets USA, China & India and only in India has the government started to push for EV adoption (the other two had EV support for a long time now) and our government’s sudden closeness with Japan to balance out China’s rowdy ways has paved the way for things to fall right into place.
Toyota’s shift also responds to moves by rivals. Volkswagen has announced a plan to have EVs account for almost 25% of sales by 2025, up from 1% now, after an emissions-cheating scandal in the U.S. came to light last year for diesel cars, the core of the German company’s green-vehicle strategy. China’s leading EV manufacturer, BYD, is boosting production. And Tesla enjoys strong demand for its EVs, including a small sedan due out next year.
Youtuber Tanmoy Sarkar has covered the 2nd Electric Vehicle Expo, Kolkata, India which took place on 27 to 29 May 2016 in great detail…
Most of the vehicles are from… Continue reading
Elon sucks with his presentation… but still the Solar Roof are of very high quality finish… hope the roof don’t cost a Tesla-car! Still it is a breakthrough event because ever since the production of solar panel and many appealing designs later there have been no commercial manufacturer who has done anything similar.
Whats more the glass panels are more stronger than conventional roofing material…awesome is just an understatement!!
Mirror, mirror on the wall which is the best electric car of them all?
E2O Plus (P8) vs E-Verito vs E-Supro
Now that India has an electric car in 3 distinct category (subcompact, mid-size and commercial) its time to see which car is best suited for you. This is because each car is targeted at… Continue reading

If you can read the news lines and then read between the lines it is becoming very obvious by the day that the whole matter was that of Cyrus Vs Tata Nano.
He had not solutions to revive nor did he want an Electric variant… all he wanted was the Tata Nano project to be shelved… closed and murdered…
The car had put India on the map of the Automobile world… and that mystery man wanted to remove it from there.
Mistry, in his letter to Tata Sons board members had said that for Tata Motors to make a turnaround, Nano needed to be shut down as it had reached a peak loss of Rs 1,000 crore.
Even Auto industry veteran and Maruti Suzuki India Chairman RC Bhargava said Ratan Tata needs to be given credit for attempting to offer an affordable car to the masses through Nano something that even his company could not do or visualize.
Indian is surely blessed to have people like Ratan Tata… if there ever were sages who lived in India thousands of years ago…. they surely would have been like Ratan Tata and APJ Abdul Kalam who dedicated their entire life to pursue excellence.
With the ouster of Cyrus Mistry… and Ratan Tata back at the helm of things there is a great possibility of Tata Nano EV coming off the benches and being pressed into play.
If you remember Cyrus Mistry was the guy who had decided to stop production of the Nano by next year (2017) if… Continue reading
China no longer requires spies because YOU with your smartphone are its eyes and ears!!!
Spy software that can listen to calls, track users, and make online purchases was found pre-installed on smartphones from Chinese companies including Lenovo, Huawei, Xiaomi, etc
The latest findings, from German cybersecurity company G DATA, add to a growing list of similar spying software found on smartphones from Chinese companies.
“This is happening on a lot of phones,” said Andy Hayter, G DATA’s security… evangelist, in a phone interview.
In March, researchers with BlueBox found similar malware on the Xiaomi Mi 4 LTE, which they obtained during a trip to China.

Finally we have an EV that resembles a normal car in looks. Earlier our innovation was the Nano which hand almost no nose (bonnet)… then the E20 without or with a small rear… now finally we have a car that is “proportionate” or balanced in appearance and thus appealing to the eye.
It will be available in 2 variants ranging from… Continue reading
