a defendant with a 77 percent in 60 minutes on d w. ah. what people have to say matters to us. i am. that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on d. w. with it's a freedom we are living during the most extraordinary time in history of transport will go

fully electric with red. the auto and mobility show with india, electron mobility sector is picking up pace and getting ahead on the market here. put you in good stead for global success once you become popular in india, i think the technology with george boston and i think that has a global life it has the emissions, no pollution. so the wanted to what that, you know, before, anecdotally ever fancied that trailer lifestyle. how about doing it the american way, with a classic airstream. you look out the window and like in the morning you could see the sunrise in the desert. and then at night you could be at the beach watching the

sun go down of the ocean right now on ranch. and i think the majority of the market will be more or less completely likely. retailer, topic of a lot of the biggest contributor to really got a lot of them still do you really? i think your bill marshall. i think it was really hard to bring in, but, but it's a big picture because when be faulty with the advent of the electric to wheeler has begun and complete the school. that omission seems imminent. but what does the arrival of the school come in for the average indian commuter and what challenges lie ahead as more indian stay to adapt to electric mobility. welcome to what's up where we talk about everything electric ah, back in august 2021. all our electric announced pre bookings for their s one and s

one pro scooters. these eas could, as could be reserved for as little as it will be $500.00, which is under 6 year old or within 24 hours. they had received over a 100000 bookings, but not before their website temporarily crashed because of the number of people who flocked through it a month later. customers who pre booked that those were allowed to make a partial payment on them to go further in the buying process. in just 2 days, all, nothing, major fees, 1100 floor, or 127000000 euro. now, all things considered that's a pretty decent chunk of teams. but other than the fact that all last carpets seem to be quite right now, what truly interest me is the interest in electric in see all those potentially the biggest fear in the indian e the market right now. but they're truly just the latest engined in the india as burdening to be seen. so who are the existing players?

the? well this heater electric, they don't need the entry level. you go to market, then there's okay, our that operate in the same segment, although they sell g bad scooters that are manufactured in other parts of the world . but judge would that you took electric and t v s with the i q of the 2 big or e m 's that are selling electric scooters in india right now. although not in large numbers. and then there's a plucky start up named energy who had the $450.00 x and eco $450.00 plus on offer . if i started out as an energy company founded by 1000 ma'am, and what new z and 2 graduates of the prestigious indian institute of technology, they wanted to manufacture battery backs and tell them to existing school manufacturers. in the interest dividing the they bought existing e scooter, then began rating them about 6 months. we decided for the fix, kudos to then destroy them because the usage was pretty heavy. we destroyed them because they were really bad records. but after using these products,

we convince us to re very contrasting things. first, we will convince that electric in the future that the technology is the right people who would absolutely love a good, well build electric vehicle. and the other thing you are going to, it's about it that vall, every single product on the road is that it will, we need to pick because from scratch, we need to build a good experience for the customer. now it wasn't just the found as a favor entity who were disappointed with the school does on offer in india at the time. see in the early days of to reload ease in india, consumers we're looking for low sticker prices, load running costs, and due to book product, they might have found the 1st $2.00, but they certainly didn't find the 3rd. these were normally not very good quality to readers, and they were low speed just to keep the sticker price below a certain range and ended up creating expeditions. but not that those things had certainly turned down since then. out went lead acid and in came lithium ion

batteries, quality range, technology and connectivity. because let's face it who doesn't like controlling everything with their phone and all became priorities. the smart school was born and as tackling climate change and poor equality became the focus, government policy and subsidies came into play and the mobility trained found firm footing in there, but for the strain to truly become mainstream, appeasing the famously tricky indian customer who belongs to the world's largest to will market is important. so what does this very specific end user truly what the didn't do? what is extremely new launches. confused and being got punches. that's not to do that in, in consumers willing to pay money for the product that they have high value average to will use in india is looking for 1st and foremost, consistency of product and quality. i think it's

a mit that they can do. we'll estimate looking for the cheapest product. okay, so the content seems to be that the average indian customer wants value for money and a discernible sense of quality from their product. and getting this just right is critical for any to will manufacturer with electric emissions after and if they can impact this very strictly customer the whole was there ice to let's take a look at all the s one s one pro might be based on the data go scooter, but dave, since been worked on considerably by allah and the final school, does that go into production, have been innovated upon and been keeping the indian customer in mind. in fact, other than the sales that go into the batteries, everything is a build at all as massive 500 eco future factory increasing giddy, which is stopped entirely by women tempos enough for them. and as for output, well, well as got their eyes on big numbers,

one production capacity will do 2000000 users. and then once the packet finished, how about your employer understand that you know this back up. so you have a not domestic market for the same market from this actually we will make it all over. okay. and bill of word on the national side, you can truly appeal to an e could buyer unless you adjust the biggest confirms ranging the id and the charging dilemma. the better swapping is the best thing because it will reduce the time. i think it just like filling the and patrol or something they just don't need to lose time. i would prefer charging that. i mean battery swapping unless is one type of battery for vehicles, it's unlikely you might run into trouble with charging. i think can be more universal where different manufacturers have found different solutions. he don't

want to cough. he started up with ty, bachelor swapping giant google. although we haven't seen the results of that collaboration just yet. but most of the customers want to go in and use kuda in its entirety. with bachelor swapping the bat, she is one competent that you don't own battery stations are also a lot more expensive to set up in mindy, and you need more. you're listed a lot of spare batteries and personnel to man, the stations. charging stations on the other hand require less face and don't need to be lost as the fact that it's a lot easier to achieve standardization of charging than it is to achieve this universal. one size fits all battery, then the heater electric. they've done away with the need for charging stations, thanks to portable batteries, which can be unplugged, get it up to one whom or one's office and charge that a standard 3 in socket. but this hasn't stop them from tying up with tv. start a massive mobility to invest and evie infrastructure in india. they have an em to

set up a grand total of up to $20000.00 chargers over the next couple of years or $900.00 . how to surely pushing forward with charging infrastructure gave her adding one charge of $32.00, what they call the $800.00. they hope to end up with 500 fos charges across the country by the end of march 2020. then that's all the plans on having 100000 charges across 400 differences even in death within the next 5 years. then that our home charges which can be set up to make life that much easier for the consumer. but in a country like india, where in big cities, people tend to live in julie lodge apartment compo, getting the required permission to set up a home charger seem to be really complicated. and i went back to the office, but a story, not because it was by you need to check whether i could get a charging point in store where i normally popped my motorcycles and my society despite being a progressive affluent part of the ward. they didn't know how to start the process,

so they said by don't do right as a little and then we evaluate it and then come back to you. and they told me to take them 3 months to make a decision. this means that they have not evaluated installing that charging point in this id even at the 1st stage yet. ok. so however you manage to get that battery loaded. you're fully charged. it doesn't do out mess the emissions into the you've gone green. but in yes, in a country that relies heavily on call me to energy needs. thought i. e v 's, julie green energy going into them isn't. so if you are able to keep pace with the listing mobility demand of electricity and internet and create the cleaner sources of energy, that is a larger objective. so you can say that unless you have d, you shouldn't have electric mobility. both can go in tandem and i believe india is ready for this type of change. they're largely due to so much focus on solar,

wind, and other forms of the, the energy inputs. we would be at least feeding most of our electric mobility. so cleaner sources and also there could be some sort of a smart metering on some sort of incentives being given for using the lexia t and future for the next mobility visual baker to complete into in 0 polluting solution. india and indian even manufacturers have lost ego. they're hoping to convert in 200000000 to the lows, to ease in the hopes of a cleaner and green future within the next few years. but school does make up their yearly tiny part of that massive number. it feels like every manufacturer has an electric motorcycle that they're being very tight lipped about, but working on in the background. but india contribution to the electric move in the days is about more than just india. when india finds a solution to a problem. because medic problem than most. ready of the world simply because we

have a population and baker. so once you become popular in india, i think the technology will but your fossil, and i think that has a global follow up. what excites me about the product inductance is not specific about the product, but it's the big picture. because when be solved, it will all work for the world. and this plenty to solve. battery waste management will be critical in the next few years. the recycling machines that have become obsolete will be imperative and managing the country's energy resources will be crucial. but overall, india tolvey le e v journey looks promising. where inflate, exciting time wash, arranging owns and electric motorbike making her one of a small group of pioneers and the indian city of bank alu road. only about 15000 of the cities, 12000000 inhabitants use east scooters like marshes. she travels 30 kilometers to

work with it every day. banga lura formerly known as bangalore, is congested and full of smog. marsha, rajiv wants to help cut the harmful air pollution. the 26 year old also preferred a cheaper and climate friendlier way of getting around. i was looking to buy a new art to we let that he's in my i switch try to do i electric. waco was one. was the high tide this and 0 one more thing is the environmental. i should say it has 0 emissions, no pollution. so to wanted to watch that, i'll defer. and if degree the indian state of karnataka aims to turn transport from gray to green by 2030 at the latest. the state capital bank, a low roof is expected to lead the way. but only 5000 electric cars are on the roads here right now. price is a major obstacles e cars cost $2.00 to $3.00 times as much as their gasoline powered counterparts.

marsha rajeet works as a lawyer and a legal firm and can afford to buy this model made by a local manufacturer. but most of the cities inhabitants simply can't afford an e scooter like hers. yet the need for them is huge. 70 percent of all vehicles in the city, our motor bikes and motor scooters. in this unremarkable workshop in the southeast of bank, a lurid business man. brackish m k is working on a pragmatic, an affordable solution. his melody company converts conventional motor bikes and a hybrid once they can run on battery or gasoline as needed. the conversion costs 40000 rupees, 450 euros. retrofitting is a common man saw solution. so when he has his existing a sick and he wants to con, what do nevi? we have

a moto which gets free 3rd onto the existing rad real office photo. and the controllers will street into a body of the finest and a throttle which is that unique in a solution where you have both electric throttles and i seen in throttle integrate it along with a display kick. battery range is about 40 kilometers 2nd. however, when the gasoline motor is running, it also recharges the battery. the company plans to rolled out its conversion service by the end of 2021. hybrid motor bikes could be an important milestone on the road to green mobility. but that promising future will remain out of reach unless more vehicles go completely electric. incentives to help. cya chic m doesn't have to pay vehicle tax for his new e motorbike. though the auto engineer was primarily persuaded by the much cheaper running costs. like $200.00 and it all, would petro like a combined to electricity?

if i am daily housing, only hardly will be ready to purchase such i noticed that they also discombobulated ah better laker electric regular is better. so you can see that by dime also, who can save money also you can, ah, there is a know much about servicing and not in this car. so you need to dial and all. but while legislation has supported the production of electric vehicles, the city is still in dire need of an extensive charging grid. the lack of which is a major source of range anxiety per most small neighborhood shops known as corona stores could be the answer. with some 12000000 of them in india, they could drive the shift to electric motor bikes. this small charging unit was manufactured in banga. lulu by the charger company. it's easily and quickly installed and costs around 3000 rupees, some 35 euros. but it's likely to generate twice that in revenue every month. only

300 of them are in place and banga laura and a few other cities right now. there are plans though, to roll out a $100000.00 of them to kick start the green transport revolution and send a signal to policymakers. electric lakers or just linden that already come back with a new 1000000000 id. so even if later today exists 50 wasn't coming from benevolent energy, that's as a 1st step as and when government picks up the steps of moving 200 wasn't in there with energy electric vehicles at already compatible. so let's take the 1st from outside and started using electric lakers and government is august. you're doing, it's both paula titian's need to provide the framework necessary to make green travel a reality. but it also needs innovative companies like melodies and chars, or to make it easier for banga lu citizens to make the switch. because ultimately as end users it's down to them or no one should think that you know what,

what will one and if the quaker. 6 have an impact on the environment that is causing so much pollution. right? no 11 no way can do. but the thing is it is because, oh, it's all there is a one step that takes us forward by opting for an electric motor bike for sure. rajiv has already taken that step. banga luce, other motorbike writers, now just have to follow her example. all 5000000 of them. it's a home from home, a work about one and a constant companion, and with its own creature comforts. 5 years ago, chad and kate battles sold their house and moved in to an extreme weather permitting. they can always shift the kitchen, living room and studio outdoors,

the couple a reveling in their new lives as modern no mads. that as stream is an august model built in 1976 for artist case, one big canvas on which she keeps the painted record of their travels. nobody national park on this room for further adventures. yeah, there's less, i'm saying, okay. and you know what? maybe some day we'll just have a clean slate and totally start over the 3 of them have seriously downsized their home and their life in general. among the bare necessities aren't any right, a bucket shower currently occupied by their laundry. oh really. but there are plenty of perks to living their very own road movie, will have to watch out of everything you need. as i had said, basically an arm's reach takes 5 minutes to clean the place up. ah. and it's just easy. you look out the window and i like in the morning you could see the

sunrise in the desert, and then at night you could be at the beach watching the sun go down of the ocean. and that pretty unique kind of experience. you know, every year the past spend a couple of months on the road before returning to oregon. kate is a travel blogger chant works on a vineyard. well, frankie is probably the most widely traveled. goats in the us. their mobile home just had to be a vintage air stream due to its design and the philosophy of its creator wally, by him with his spirit lives on and everyone else that love there streams to know the sense of adventure, the sense of see new places and am just learning new things, leading new people. people who like them are adherence of glamorous campaign or glam ping. in their case of a more colorful variety than most, in fact, the ad stream is nicknamed the silver bullets. the classic version of the iconic

travel trailer boasts of polished aluminum body. okay, turn the coach where he is extremely lightweight, but his heather and david cook know poking in a stream can be a real test if teamwork you're away from. the picnic label that covered muddle is from 2013 and costs around $80000.00. me a lustrous bit of luxury that most 1st time drivers won't be able to afford. the cook spent 37 years building up their savings to make their dream and on the road reality. well, it's 1970 we started. and then we bought our 1st one in 2007, but along the way we had a child sent him to college thing. so the air stream was always

there and they since crossed the entire us twice and went all the way up to alaska in a convoy of fellow aficionados and even their dog agnes has got the travel bug. it's a freedom to be who you want a bay and we just feel like grown up teenagers, but just different the as stream club is like one big family up to like dinner and on convoy trips that camine cooking, clam chowder for 40 people. brant taylor is a huge fan of the cult trailers. he started out as a collector before quitting his job as a graphic artist and opening a restoration workshop for 1st trailer. and he said fascinated by the as streams 90 way. history. li cooper, their streams are silver and shiny, that immediately grabs your attention. oh, it's shiny, but also just the whole riveted structure of them reminds americans of the time

when we built solid things and when, when america was a builder. and we still build things, but they don't have the soul that ah, the old things had it all began in 1931. when wally by m set up a factory to build his self designed ass stream band with demand exploding for the trade, a lifestyle in the us business soon boomed for the distinctive silver colored model . the 19 forties and fifties saw by him also launch special caravan trips, taking adventurous as stream as on epic roots such as cape town to cairo. he urged his compatriots to discover more of the world with the home comforts of a rolling american living room. 60 percent of the last streams ever built a still on the road with many of them already having enjoyed several lives. and this one was used as a chicken coop. you can still see the wire in the windows all my god. so there is

something to do here, it's dirty. and it's a challenge that he's very much looking forward to chicken work, but you have to refer back to go to china again. oh, it will be good as new, if not better. oh, $3.00, a labor of love that will take him 3 or 4 months. the exterior will involve a lot of work, sanding down the body and 4 rounds of polishing. but then the old, worn out gray will be back to its shining mirror like splendor. as the sillies have done with their beloved 1958 to arabella singing, keen camper rebecca gave her husband harold's especial assignments to prepare for retirement spar. although not every thing always went to plan. my idea at 1st was just, i'm not going to sleep on the ground anymore. let's just get one of those little teardrop trailers, just big enough for a bad m. this is what he brought home. they do, at some point, harold spent around $5000.00 on the dilapidated old trailer and 3 years on

renovating it. but all that work which also meant hammering in several 1000 rivets, was more them worth it. kind of do it together. you know, there is a sort of vacation feel to it. there's that kind of leaving everything behind. so it's just good to get out. it forces us to get out rather than sitting with the american dream on wheels and as light and liberating as a stream of that. we hope you enjoyed the ride. see you next time on reb booth with
