conceivable, there is never been any real dialogue. how did this confrontation begin? how great is the danger that it was spread? the long war? he's real, iran usa starts june 15th on d. w. the issue with existing batteries is that they saw they're really horrible. we are living during the most extraordinary time in history of transport. we'll go for the electric with ram, the audio and mobility shall we rev experiences

neos, ai system and battery swapping. track our state of the art. but just how good are they? no me just took over to car. she is gonna bark it in for you. and the whole process from here honest, fully thought rev analyzes automotive battery swapping in all the rage. but is it a good or bad idea? said with walkable batteries to see if the wood or do we just need better batteries? red explorers, this indian city is hoping people will swamp out motorized, transportation for pedal power. kenny idea catch on. minutes of that. i look at the melodies i went on on the single ones on douglas like a look at that other of your business shots, if possible data i can look at them if not, but it's sort of gender. and rev discovers meet the unit cycling world. her told

her who swamped out 2 wheels for one is coming up soon, all should be in the car, belongs has owned option vehicle law commission. i thought a revolutionary new tech, emerging green mobility solutions on tales of valor and victory right now on wrath . with your boundary level is low, do you want to find a charging point nearby and now we have sense food laser guided that on through the battery from the vehicle. we're going by 2025 to be present in 25 markets,

both wides. so we have big and vicious neos founder and ceo, william lee had a vision for his cars. one that laid emphasis on digital technology, artificial intelligence, battery swapping, and a tight knit community of neo bibles and the latest updates. but it also installs. yep. it for you. so you don't have to manually press the button and go to swap position. those are those for you. if you f over to your software, you cannot change anything. we can just change the features in the buttons you have on the screen. but with the firmware over the air, we could choose to say, look, we want the air conditioning to work. when the swap is happening, we want the screens to work. when is what was happening. so those things we can rewrite ended the core code of the car and change the experience. because now you see the screens are off. yeah, it could be that we rico to car and away that in an extra for version it could be on neo swap stations. also that you change the size of the battery. you want to

use. the old battery is not going directly into the bathroom though. is 1st moved to on the sides then in the meantime, a new battery. it's being taken out from the battery hotel and will be put into the vehicle. and only after the swap event has finished, we have the old battery who is going into the battery hotel and is being charged in theory up, or downsizing your battery as possible. and to make sure it's glitch free. an operator keeps an eye on things using a touch screen. we have more than 860 swap stations is going very, very fast. we have completed the swap stations in around 4 years. the goal of neo is to and soul and operates $4000.00 swap stations worldwide by 2025 and a thousands of these will be outside of china. ah.

so what's my final verdict for to day? i have to say i had a lot of fun driving the neo yes. 8, which is really comfortable. and the swapping station was really impressive to me because you can switch a battery in under 5 minutes, which is even faster than going to a petrol station. and i think this is the future of mobility. the o. c. t 7 sedan is set to be launched in germany at the end of 2022, with $478.00 kilowatts of power, and 850 newton meters of tor. the top of the line model is set to go over 1000 kilometers on a single charge. thanks to its solid state 150 kilowatt hour battery neos clearly got v, w and tesla, and it's cross hairs. oh, the issue with existing batteries is that they saw this is the classic batteries not included. so do we have it's possible batteries to save the world or do we just

need better battery? battery swapping is the buzzword when it comes to eve. but what isn't video with battery swapping, and is it a good or bad idea? welcome to what's out where we talk about everything electric with, with what my battery is in rather a lot of everyday items from water that artist to cameras for why not? what about the batteries and the machines that keep eyes more by? that's what a lot of manufacturers seem to be thinking. new in china and norway ample in california, is the i'm in germany fan mobility in india and governor in thailand to name just a few and some countries also the battery swapping. it's the quickest way to get people to switch to ease without range anxiety case in point india. in february

2022, when in death budget for the year was announced. union finance minister near malesky that armand said that battery swapping was clearly the way forward. and the indian government was hoping to standardize batteries, which would mean a one size fits all battery that could work for a variety of different kudos or cars. in india bounce infinity offers the ones kuda with the option of operable batteries. he'll model. gov has stayed up with go growth, batteries, swapping network and heat electric has stayed up with sun mobility. so it seems to me, battery swap is gone. but even though everyone seems really gung ho about batteries for being technology, we're still wondering is battery swapping a good or bad idea to fully understand this? let me jump back in time to the 1st manufacturer who taught up battery swapping. micro cause battery is switched in an efficient, fully automated manner back has and 7 in israeli company named better place

certainly thought battery swapping was a good idea. found a shy agassi had a lofty goal to reduce the world's dependence on fossil fuels. and he convinced a lot of people that this was the right way to go better place, raised plenty of funding. and general nissan agreed to build cars to their specifications, so that batteries could be swapped out. in effect, they had separated the battery from the electric car buying experience in agassi's own words. in a sense, if you want to think about it, this is the classic batteries not included. so matter, please managed to reduce the cost of the car for the customer and eliminated long charging times because their automated battery swapping system took all of 5 minutes to perform the transplant. so in effect, better place with the originators of automotive battery swapping. but unfortunately by 2013 their batteries were dead sea, despite

a network of swapping stations across israel, better place didn't fell too many cars before it went bust. and that i might of a reason cited for this failure, including the fact that circ out with hasn't any of the world. and most cami goes weren't really ready for electric cars, let alone innovative charging or swapping solutions. so is battery swapping a good or a bad idea? well back in 2013, this guy seemed to think it was good around the time. better place with filing for bankruptcy. he unveiled his vision for battery swapping in the tesla model f, but by 2016 bethlehem abandoned batteries swapping in favor of bethel church, our de network, but not before they pick, looking fed some more interesting things about batteries. well, the issue with existing bad truth is that they saw okay. yeah, they're really hard. oh, they're expensive. 3rd or reliable they're,

they're sort of spinky ugly, bad in every way. i well jump ahead to 2022 and it's still hard to dispute. some of the things that must said about batteries. it's generally agreed that car batteries are expensive and heavy and take a long time to charge. plus you have to be careful how you charge them because you might damage the battery chemistry, which good lead to your battery going to a better place sooner rather than later. what has changed between 2013 and know a lot, including diesel gate which was the catalyst for our electric future. between 20132021 global e. v. sales have grown. 33 dimes and with more ease on road. now is the time for more charging infrastructure and innovative battery solutions.

i with battery swapping ginger anxiety is a non issue. some more people are likely to buy ease with swap, a bill batteries. and if you're selling ease without a battery, you're deducing the initial amount of money. a customer needs to spend less batteries don't last forever. their efficiency tapers off and eventually they die. and replacing the battery in an e. v costs a lot of money. in fact, it upset one tesla modeless owner so much that instead of being 22000 your loads on a new battery, he blew his card up with 30 kilo's of dynamite instead. ah squabble, batteries do offer benefits, but they're not. flawless. evie owners have no control over the condition of the battery. they get at a swap station. they just need to live with it until their next walk. and until

batteries get standardized, you're stuck with the battery that specific to your e v manufacturer which limits your choice. and as is the case that spoke a little back, please, especially with cause there is no option to try charging them at home. then just the fact that swapper will batteries mean a lot more batteries. you need more batteries than just the number of vehicles on the road. and this costs more money money, which is eventually recovered from the customer via subscription plan. so eventually with you end up being what it would have cost to buy the machine with the battery in the 1st place and do some manufacturer say swap about batteries need less live him. you still need more batteries. so more manufacturing, more minerals, more mining and more shipping, not exactly green. and in the case of swapping state and specifically for cars, the robotics to automate a charging station at another element of cost to the process. all things

considered battery swapping seemed like a quick solution to our charging dilemma. on the one hand, it's low hanging fruit for 2 and c b. and when it comes before we listed need the black constantly, like taxes of fleet vehicles, swap of the batteries do make sense. but queuing up to swap the battery in a private gas seems a bit much, especially since if all goes well, even if batteries don't get a whole lot better, fast charging infrastructure soon. we'll said we really need swap batteries to save the world. or do we just need better batteries? ones that are lighter, more efficient, charged, faster and last longer and the batteries won't ever become more efficient, is manufacturing more and more of them going to saddler for the problem that we some they can swap out. if you want more red, check out our youtube channel. if you want regular features about new cars and car

click through an app. it's part of one of indiana's largest file sharing services called my bike. and compar is a loyal patron. yeah, my recommendation. i really like my boss care because the cycles are equipped with baskets, where i can store things like my laptop, if it launch bottle and water bottle. but for me, if i got to stand for my community, are my cycle to the bus stand and parked the bike over there? what love park, then i take a bus. if you stopped under to grab another, my bike able to reach my office, look at the office, the got that was toppled contrary lives and i'm with about the largest city in the state of good lap. like in other indian cities, i'm at the bath is working to integrate cycle sharing into the public transport system. here that includes a fleet of bosses that operate in normal traffic, as well as other is assigned their own dedicated lanes known as the bus rapid

transit system or b r t s. growing pollution has spurred the push for better public transport. indian city, the biggest cause of pollution is vehicles. the number is going up across the country and therefore, so as the traffic which causes more pollution and higher emission, i'm at the box is known to have one of the best public transport systems in india. but there's room for improvement. a recent study found that more people would use public transport if the city improved what's known as the last mile connectivity. that is transport that bridges the gap between travelers, home, and the nearest bus one, metro stop. what we try to do was to talk to people about their travel behavior to power their driving. where, where do they go? and what are the modes that they typically should just focus on the bus to go to focused on shuttle or direction or focus on the other move. so understanding the

travel needs is what we were trying to do last month. i think that would be very important for the public transportation network at the center of excellence for transport in i'm at about urban planning experts work with a focus group to advance the city's public transport system in. they know that for their last mile or more, passengers traditionally have depended on rickshaws, private or shared, or simply their own 2 feet. but rick, shawn services can be unreliable or expensive, and walking can be uncomfortable and even unsafe, especially for women. accountant, already sony is trying to offer an alternative with my bike. he launched the service in 2013 and initially spent years optimizing it by study in community her behavior. he believes bike sharing is the key to solving the problem of last small connectivity and more. you're talking about health issues,

my bike is one of the on. so you're talking about climate change. my mike is one of the on. so you talk one mobility, traffic condition. my mike is beyond. so you talk about mental health and happiness . i'm sure not many people realize this, but a lot of my bakers ride my bike because of the mental st. and happen is that they get out of it all their bike sharing platforms exist and i'm with about. but my bike is among the largest with 10000 cycles used by over half a 1000000 people across the country. it costs just $2.00 rupees or less than $0.03 a day on the making it affordable and appealing to a wide consumer base. i'm of the firm belief that conveniences so is my alternative that i'm presenting going to be convenient for the user. if yes, then i have a market for my product. if not, i'm routed and that's how we will dish and my baby make me the service available.

at the station, city officials have also made note of it's potential to boost public transport and help cut carbon emissions from private vehicles. in 2014, the city started its own bike sharing projects called under bike to integrate mobility services like my bike into the city wide network. so we'll do this on the bike system into the be your provided them spaced along with the quota . and now the people can use the cycle to, to reach their destination and they can use the ideas their, their mean truck. what are you currently? only 13 percent of i'm about residence, use public transport, lower than the country average. but with a metro network under construction, the city is seeking to raise by chair to 30 percent by 2030 minutes. when i 1st started using it, i was the only person in my office who biking to work. now there are 4 or 5 people

who are using it, at least one day. we make a small positive writers like on keys comstar scoop of fish. hope that i'm asked about will reach its goal of better, more sustainable public transport. and hopefully more people will soon switch to pedal power honor unicycle yon at 10 am bergen can reach up to 40 kilometers an hour the coming of the combination of speed and balance and a high risk is what fascinates me the most eyeballs to stay riding high in the saddle, yanna keeps her concentration up and her eyes on the road a little fun could present an obstacle. happy man in lanka. aha, i do have a handlebar that,

but it's mostly so i can lean into the wind and not for support. finally, the on bicycles, you can hold on to the handlebars that us the unicycle doesn't have anything to stabilize you demons. where so you have to find your center and learn to build speed and confidence without using your hands off the ball and it takes years of practice to learn to ride with this kind of speed and skill even as a little girl. yana 10 am back and felt magically drawn to the unicycle and began taking part in competitions. what are talented balancing hasn't always been well appreciate. on the contrary, as kinda lies on everything as a kid, i get in trouble for tipping my chair up on one leg and nursery school. what was your and rocking back and forth while eating mine as i'm guessing. so they told my parents, they suspected i had a movement disorder and which was just room had, but my father was sure that wasn't true and he got me into sports side of it. that was the best decision he could have made both. and i'm very grateful to him for it up of him. now at age 21,

she's collected medals in prizes the world over at the 2018 world unit cycling championships in south korea. she bag 5 world champion titles in various disciplines. and in 2020, she broke the world record for the longest distance covered in one hour with over 33 kilometers on her unicycle. she even beat the men's record at that time in few and many of the physically demanding sports. that's just unthinkable. national. that was another huge step forward that and that's really special to me, was on the of yon, a 10 am bag and was born in tribal org. in south western germany, she moved to berlin to study. she said if a little workshop in her room in the apartment she shares, she owns 15 unit cycles for various purposes. one even has studied tires for off

roading as often as she can. she takes off to go riding cross country and other discipline that yana holds. a world championship title for and the only one she's ever injured herself. it doesn't on mountain back up on in a mountain bike or hit my unicycle from behind. and a mud hole and my leg got caught in between his crank and wailing, crushed my shin bone. got wedged in october. i finished the race in one, but afterwards i had to go to the medic, perry austin was pretty swollen up. but that's the worst that's happened to me, outdoor so far, theatres, by comparison, the ride home through berlin's rush hour traffic is like a walk in the park. a unicycle in town may be unusual, but it's perfectly legal. and it helps or stay in shape for future challenges. and greg, my one, our world record, leave some room for improvement. i'd say, evelyn, there's also a 24 hour world record. and in a cycle writing,

i'd like to go for that one too. i feel like you can sit on the cycle for a long time. you just need to practice. ride safe weather on 4 wheels, 2 or one, and see you next time on rev. ah ah, with
