hi, investigations have shown henri was in touch with an international islamist network with his victims demand answers. in 45 minutes on d, w. ah, a, what people have to say matters to us. one. mm. that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on d. w. a . it's a freedom with we are living during the most extraordinary time in history of transport

will go fully electric with my the guy who read the auto and mobility show with india's electron mobility sector is picking up pace and getting ahead on the market here, put you in good stead for global success, once you've used become popular in india, i think the technology with george boston and i think that has a global life it had the, you know, i missions no pollution. so the wanted to what that, you know, before, anecdotally ever fancied the trailer lifestyle. how about doing it the american way? with the 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 round it in the majority of the market will be more or less completely retailer topic of one of the biggest contributors to you know, got a lot of them. so do you really thought i think you're good. i'm not sure. i think it was really how to begin, but, but it's a big victim. because when be faulty with all the, 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? i mean 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 stop to it. a month later, customers who pre book that you guys were allowed to make a partial payment on them to go further in the buying process in just $2.00 days, all at the end of may do 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 conflicts 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 entry and in the india as burdening to be seen. so who are the existing players?

the well, the heater electric, they don't need the entry level school market. then there's our that operate in the same segment, although they sell g bad scooters that are manufactured in other parts of the word . but judge would that you'd like 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 have it for 50 x and eco $450.00 plus on offer. if a started out as an energy company founded by 1000 ma'am, and what new z and to graduates of the prestigious indian institute of technology, they wanted to manufacture battery backs and sell them to existing school manufacturers. in the interest dividing the, they bought existing e scooters and began writing 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 weakens. but after using these products,

we convince us to we 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 ask about if that vall, every single product under georgia state, it will, we need to pay the vehicles 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 wheeler 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 us, and they were low speed just to keep the sticker price below a certain range and ended up creating expeditions. but not that it. those things have certainly turned around since then. out went lead acid in, 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 that's tackling climate change. and poor equality became the focus government policy and subsidies came into play and the mobility train found firm footing in india, 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, why the didn't do it is extremely value. bunch of people confuse that and being got to do that and in consumers are willing to pay money for that. if you have high value, but 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 with customers looking for the cheapest product. ok. so the content seems to be that the average in the customer wants value for money, and a discernible sense of quality from their products. and getting this just right is critical for any to wheeler manufacturer with electric emissions. afterall, if they can improve this very tricky customer, the whole words, they're oyster. let's take a look at all. the s one s, one pro might be be on the go app scooter, but they've been worked on considerably by law. and the final school. does that go into production, have been innovated upon and built, keeping the indian customer in mind? in fact, other than the sales going to the batteries? everything is built at all as massive 5, hundreds of future factory increasing, giddy, which is stopped entirely by women tempos and of them. and as for output, well, well as got their eyes on big numbers,

one production capacity with 2000000 users. and then once you finished your employer understand that this factory and non domestic market for the same market from this actually we will make it a new one. okay. and bill of word on the national side, you can truly appears when you go to bio, unless you adjust the biggest confirms ranging and the charging dilemma, the battery 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 if unlikely, you might run into trouble with charging. i think can be more was where different manufactures have found different solutions. he don't want to cause he started up

with ty, bachelor, swapping jain, 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 bachelor 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 station. charging stations on the other hand require less space and don't need to be left is the fact that it's a lot easier to achieve standardization of charging ports 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. he's got a massive mobility to invest an e v infrastructure in india. they have an m 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. a 3rd, adding one charge of 30 to 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 there's all the plans on having 100000 charges across 400 differences, even in death within the next 5 years. then the 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 large apartment complexes getting the required permissions to set up a home just seem to be really complicated. and i went to the office, but a story, not because it was by going to be to check whether i could get a charging point in store where i normally pock my motorcycles and my id being a progressive affluent part of the ward. they didn't know how to start the process,

so they said, why don't do it doesn't little and then be evaluated. 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. okay. so however you manage to get that battery loaded. you're fully charged. you doesn't do out nasty emissions into the you've gone green. but in yes, in a country that relies heavily on to me to energy needs thought i. e v 's, julie green, if the energy going into them isn't. so if you are able to keep pace with the electric mobility demand of electricity and intended to create the cleaner sources of energy, that is a larger objective. so you can say that unless you have the energy, you shouldn't have electric mobility bought can go in tandem. and i believe india is ready for this type of a 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 smart metering on some sort of incentives being given for use included like city and future for electric mobility, visual baker to complete into in 0 polluting solution. india and indian even manufacturers have lost ego. they're hoping to convert in just 200000000 to be lowes to evie in the hopes of a cleaner and green future within the next few years, but couldn't make up a really tiny part of that massive number. it feels like every manufacturer has an electric motorcycle that they've been very tight lipped about, but working on in the background with india, contribution to the electric mobility. this is about more than just india. when india finds a solution to a problem. because numeric problem than most of the words simply because we have

a population and baker. so once you become popular in india, i think the technology will mature 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 would fall 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 in to wheeler, e v journey looks promising. where in play exciting time washer ragin owns an electric motor bike making her one of a small group of pioneers in the indian city of banga lou room. only about 15000 of the cities, 12000000 inhabitants use east scooters like marshes. she travels 30 kilometers to

work with it every day. bank of europe 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 wheeler. the reason why i switched trotter i looked at waco was one, was the high tide this. and 0, $1.00 more thing is dying vitamin i showed, so it has 0 emissions, no pollution. so to wanted to watch that diana, 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 to 3 times as much as their gasoline powered

counterparts. marsha raunchy 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 are motorbike san motor scooters in this on remarkable workshop. in the southeast of bank, a lurid businessman, brackish m k, is working on a pre magic in affordable solution. his melody company converts conventional motor bikes and a hybrid, once they can run on battery or gasoline is 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, worked, or to nevi, we have

a mortal with gets returned onto the existing rad real office photo. and the controllers will creep into a body of the final and a throttle, which is that unique in our solution where you have both electric throttle and i seen in throttle integrated along with a display kick. battery range is about 40 kilometers. 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 do help. cya chic m doesn't have to pay vehicle tax per his new e motorbike. though the auto engineer was primarily persuaded by the much cheaper running costs. like the $200.00 and it all put betral like

a compared to electricity. if i am daily housing only hardly it will be like $20.00 such i night at the city also. it is compared to politic. ah better laker electric bigger is better. so you can see that i damn also who can sail 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 bank elura 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 there's different than that already comparable with that. a new 1000000000 id. so even if, let's say today, exists 50 wasn't coming from benevolent energy. that's as a 1st step as and when government picks up the steps of a moving blue 100 wasn't in there with energy electric lakers had already combated with. so let's take the 1st from outside and started using electric lakers and government is august you're doing, it's by politicians 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 lulus citizens to make the switch. because ultimately as end users, it's down to them. no one should think that, you know,

it was one anecdote waco, a have an impact on the environment that is causing so much pollution. right? no 111 no way could can do. but the thing is, is because, oh, it's all there is a one step that exist hallway mm. by opting for an electric motor bike barsha. 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 of art, and a constant companion, and with its own creature comforts. 5 years ago, chad and kate battles sold their house and moved into an ass stream, 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. there as stream is an argosy model built in 1976 for artist kate's, one big canvas on which he keeps a painted record of their travels and nobody national park can. there's still room for further adventures. yeah, there's a lot of them say it on 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 laundry right now, a bucket shower currently occupied by their laundry. we need, but there are plenty of perks to living. their very own road movie will have to adjust everything you need is. i'd say it basically an arm's reach. picture 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,

my 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 parents 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 u. s. their mobile home just has to be a vintage air stream due to its design and the philosophy of its creator. wiley, by him with his spirit lives on and every one else that love there streams to know the of adventure, to sense of seeing new places and am just learning new things. leading new people, people who like them are adherents of glamorous campaign or glam ping. in their case of a more colorful variety than most in fact the as stream is nicknamed the silver bullets. the classic version of the iconic travel trailer boasts of polished

aluminum body. okay her her, the coach work is extremely lightweight, but is heather and david cook. no parking in a stream can be a real test of teamwork. you're away from. the picnic table that covered muddle is from 2013 and costs around $80000.00 new, 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. wow, it's from 1970. we started. and then we bought our 1st one in 2007. but along the way, we had a child sent him to college in a thing. so the airstream 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. 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. brand 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 the 1st trailer and he's a fascinated by the as streams 90 way history. cooper, their streams are silver and shiny, that immediately grabs your attention. oh, it's shiny. ah, 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 a soul that ah, the old things had it all began in 1931. when will leave, i am set up a factory to build his self designed ass stream band with demand exploding for the trade or 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 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 and 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 shiny mirror like splendor. as the sillies have done with their beloved 1958 to arabella keen camper, rebecca gave her husband harold's a special assignments to prepare for retirement spar. although not everything always went to plan. my id at 1st was just, i'm not going to sleep on the ground anymore. let's just get one of the little teardrop trailers, just big enough for a bed. and this is what he brought home. they do it. 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 than worth 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. they get out. it forces us to get out rather than setting that ah, the american dream on wheels and dislikes and liberating as a stream of that. we hope you enjoyed the ride. see you next time on reb ah, with

berlin december 2016. the berlin christmas market attack shot the german capital the authority se aneice on re acted alone with a mistake or a lie. investigations have shown henri was in touch with an international islamist

network with his victims demand answers. 15 minutes on d w. o. oh . hi jacking. the new where i come from, the news is being hijacked. journalism itself has become a scripted reality show. it's not just good versus evil us versus them black and white in countries like russia, china, turkey, people are told that it's that simple. and if you're a journalist there and you try to get beyond that, you are facing scare tactics, intimidation. and i wonder, is that where we're headed as well? my responsibility as

a journalist is to get beyond the smoke and mirrors. it's not just about being fair and balanced or being neutral. it's about being true. my name is brent goff and i work in the w h. u time for an experiment about time. ah, it can be measured precisely. and yet each person experiences it differently as if there are different phones of time phenomena, dementia, and illusion. about time starting december 31st on d, w a i s b a c e a r

o a love and respect were, ah, this is a dw news alive from berlin. remembering a tragedy. 5 years after an islamist attack on a busy christmas market in berlin, left 13 people dead. germany commemorates the victims of coming up on the show authorities in europe, extend corona by.
