Recharge 70 % in two minutes and last more than 20 years..

Recharge 70 % in two minutes and last more than 20 years… almost the lifetime of your car!!!

Now that is life time Guarantee…

Researchers at Nanyang Technology University recently created a new kind of battery that charges super fast and has a shelf life of 20 years.

The ultra-fast batteries can charge 70 percent in only two minutes and don’t need to be replaced every few years. The batteries will work for more than 20 years, a timeframe that’s nearly 10 times longer than the typical lithium-ion battery.

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.

Biogas – Never ending source of Fuel, Electricity & Fertilizer

BIOGAS POWERED RACE CAR
BIOGAS POWERED RACE CAR The Volkswagen Scirocco GT24 is a race car (at the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring) running on biogas Methane.

What if someone told you that you could get free fuel to cook food, free fuel to run your car, free fuel to heat your home in winter, free electricity to cool your house with AC… would you believe? … well that’s what BioGas/BioMethane can do… only if you feed it with waste and garbage… it would do it all for free.

Biogas stands as a beacon of sustainable energy, offering a trifecta of benefits—fuel, electricity, and fertilizer. The article from PlugInCaroo passionately advocates for biogas as a transformative solution for energy independence, environmental sustainability, and economic empowerment, especially in rural and semi-urban communities.

🔥 What Is Biogas?

Biogas is produced through…

Electric Truck – Time to move things!

Mahindra’s Electric Maxximo… coming soon probably between Dec 2014-March 2015
As the world is trying to build a car that would run on Electricity the guys at Mahindra are trying to bring to life a small sized commercial vehicle popularly known as mini-Truck that would run on Electricity. Most people I talk to think the EV truck will be more difficult to be a success as it will be constantly on the move throughout the day and would require more power which can only be got from a Diesel engine truck. But I feel the mini-trucks/Trucks/Buses have a better chance to succeed than the Electric Car… why?

Electric Bus – Green Transport for everybody!

Last time I discussed the benefits of having larger box type or rectangle shape for Electric Vehicles. This time let me take the discussion a bit further by elongating the length of the electrical vehicle to that of a Bus – Not the small mini bus but the big massive Volvo type… luxury type buses. Of course mini buses can be as useful too.
