the conflicts between iran on the one hand and israel in the united states on the other with more than 40 years, the adversaries have been irreconcilable. there is never been any real dialogue. how did this confrontation begin? how great is the danger that it will spread? the long war, he's really, iran usa starts june 15th on d w. the issue with existing batteries is that they saw they're really horrible with we are living during the most extraordinary time in history of transport

will go fully electric with ram. the audio and mobility shall we read experiences, neos ai system and battery swapping tack 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 ram analyzes automotive battery swapping. it's all the rage. but is it a good or bad idea for the way it's walkable batches to say, if the wood or do we just need better batteries? rad explores, this indian city is hoping people will swamp out motorized, transportation for pedal power. can the idea catch on of manage subsets?

i look at the middle of isn't one on on the single once i'm done, just take a look at that. other of your business, john supplies logged out of the account. them, it fits what does that gender and graph discovers meet the eunice cycling world. record holder who swapped out 2 wheels for one coming up soon, all should indicate loss has the only options music or not for me, from the high off. revolutionary, new tech, emerging green mobility solutions on tales of valor and victory right now on wrath . with you, a boundary level is low. do you want to find a charging point nearby? and now we have 10 school laser guided school that unscrewed the battery from the

vehicle. we're going by 2025 to be present in 25 markets, both slides. 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 buyers and fans. it's worked wonders in china neos home market. but lee has now set his sights on conquering europe. which is no way because it's an environmental friendly country. people's mindset, this elf when we of course have the highest percentage of evie sold in europe and it is a sustainable country. 98 percent of the energy comes from the renewable sources and we like that. and we will enter for new countries at this here. so germany,

the netherlands, sweden and then grabs lewis. copper isn't fossil o to check out the 1st ever neo battery swapping station outside of china is car than e o. d s 8. the 1st neo model in europe, your boundary level is low. i think you should switch to eco mode. do you want to find a charging point nearby? louis can stay in the essay as the empty battery is replaced with a fully charged one. so just have to press start barking or swap station pocket, and we're good to go. so now if you release the break. yeah. then worse, well, it's normally takes over please you want your surroundings and do not press the guest pedal or the thief mario or opened the dollar. so i could put my hands away right now. oh, which is pretty funny. so it, you see that no me just took over to car, she is gonna bark it in for you. and, and the whole process from here on this is fully on,

on the swamp station does more than just replace your battery. so this car has an ulcer version of the station as identify that the car has and also for version it can update the car ah, and then is going to do the battery so. so we always have the latest software update when you get out of power subsystem, ideally, and most people have their, their car connected at home until the why fi carpools in the data. also if you don't have it connected, it pulls in 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 station does it holds for you. if you f over to your software, you cannot change anything. we can just change the features and 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 screens are off. yeah, it could be the tweet 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 it's 1st moved on the sides. then in the meantime, a new battery is 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 was going into the battery will tell and is being charged in theory up or downsizing your battery as possible and to make sure its glitch free. an operator keeps an eye on things, 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 thousands of these will be outside of china. ah. so what's my final verdict for today? 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 views. e t 7, sudan is set to be launched in germany at the end of 2022, with 478 kilowatts of power, and 850 newton meters of torque. 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 in its cross hairs. ah, the issue with existing batteries is that they saw this is the classic batteries not included. so do we need walkable batteries to see it the way or do we just need better matching? back you swapping is the buzzword when it comes to eve. but what isn't the deal with matching swapping, and is it a good or bad idea? welcome to what's f, where we talk about everything elected. we thought my battery, the not a lot of every day items from watchers to titus to cameras for why not swap out the batteries and machines that he buys more by. that's what a lot of manufacturers seem to be thinking new in china and norway amble in

california. if he am in germany fan mobility in india and go over to in thailand, the named just a few and half countries over 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 called over the option of operable batteries. heat or more dot. gov has stayed up with go growth, battery swapping network and heat or electric has stayed up with sun mobility. so it seems the battery swap is gone. but even though everyone seems really gung

ho about battery swapping technology, we're still wondering is battery swapping a good or a bad idea to fully understand this? let's jump back in time to the 1st manufacturer who taught up battery swapping. your electrical batteries switched in an efficient, fully automated manner back in 2007 in israeli company named better place certainly thought battery swapping with 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 rest. 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. a better place managed to reduce the cost of the car for the customer. and eliminated long charging times because their

automated battery swapping system took all the 5 minutes to perform the transplant . so in effect, better place where the originators of automotive battery swapping. but unfortunately, by 2013 their batteries, wooded fi, despite a network of swapping stations across israel, better place didn't fell to many cars before it went bust. and there are multiple reasons cited for this failure, including the fact that circ at 2008 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 was filing for bankruptcy. he unveiled his vision for battery swapping in the tesla model f. but by 2016 dessler had abandoned battery swapping in favor

of bay from the georgia network, but not before that tech looking fed some more interesting things about batteries. well, the issue with existing batteries is that they saw. okay. yeah, they're really horrible. they're expensive. they're unreliable, they're, there's through spinky, ugly, bad in every way. and 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 dig a long time to charge. plus you have to be careful how you charge them because you might damage the battery chemistry, which could lead to your battery going to a better place sooner rather. then later, ah, 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 drawn 33 dames 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 a these would 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. the efficiency tapers often eventually the day and replacing the battery in an e. v costs a lot of money. in fact, it upset one tesla model, s 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, swab batteries do offer benefits, but they're not. flawless. evie owners have no control over the condition off the battery. they get at a swap station. they just need to live with it until their next war. 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 with swap over back these, especially with cars, there's no option to try charging them at home. then just the fact that swap a bull 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, stan, you end up seeing what it would have cost to buy the machine with the battery in the 1st place. and though some manufacturer safe swapper will back,

she's need less commit him. you still need more batteries for more manufacturing, more minute old, more mining and more shipping, not exactly green. and in the case of swapping state and specifically for cause the robotics to automate a charging station at another element of cost to the process. all things considered batching swapping seemed like a quick solution to our charging dilemma. on the one hand, it's low hanging fruit for do and tv list. and when it comes before we list that need to play constantly like taxes of fleet vehicles, swap of batteries do make sense. but queuing up to swap the battery in a private gus seems a bit too much, especially since if all goes well, even the batteries don't get a whole lot better, fast charging infrastructure soon. we'll said we do 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 saddle us. but the problem that we some day can swap out if you want more red, check out our youtube channel. if you want regular features about new cars and car culture and about mobility around the world, read can make you very happy. that vintage classics and future tech or just some of the exciting content waiting for you. subscribe to us that you tube slash dw read, and you'll always be up to speed. most big cities have 2 problems in common traffic and the associated pollution that comes with it. but as one indian city is discovering pedal power just might be the best way to fix things

on keith. com car cycles for part of his 5 kilometer commute to work. but he doesn't own a cycle. instead, he rides a different one each day. and it's always ready to go with the click through an app. it's part of one of india's largest file sharing services called my bike and camper is a loyal patron. you know, my recommendation i, i really like my boss care because the cycles are equipped with basket where i can store things like my laptop, if at lunch boggle and water bottle. buck boomers, i got to stand for my community. i cycle to the bus stand and park the bike over there and what love park. then i take a bus. if you stopped it under to grab another my bike to reach my office. my office that i thought was toppled. come to our lives and i'm up above 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 buses 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 across indian cities. the biggest cause of pollution is vehicles, their number is going up across the country and therefore, so is the traffic which causes more pollution and higher emissions. i'm at the bath 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 at the city improved what's known as last mile connectivity. that is transport that bridges the gap between travellers home and their nearest basketball metro stop. what we try to do was to talk to people about their

travel behavior and how are they traveling, where, where do they go? and what are the modes that they typically not just focus on, but it also focused on shuttle autistic shows and the other more so understanding that revenues is what we were trying to do last month. and that would be very important for the public transportation network. at the center of excellence for transport in about urban planning, experts worked with a focus group to advance the city's public transport system. i know that for their last mile or more, passengers traditionally have depended on rick shots 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 studying commuter 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 about are one mobility traffic condition. my mike is the on. 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 strength and happiness that they get out of it. other bike sharing platforms exist and i'm 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, on making it affordable and appealing to

a wide consumer base. i'm of the form believed that convenient says so is my order to do that. i'm but as in been going to be convenient for the user, if yes, then i have a market former product. if not, i moved it. i and that's how we position my baby make weirdness, always available at the stations. city officials have also made note of its potential to boost public transport and help cut carbon emissions from private vehicles. in 2014, the city started its own bike sharing project called under bike to integrate mobility services like my bike into the city wide network. so, vio, andrarios is on the bike system, into the b r d. s. you avoided them spaced along with that we are disco door. and now the people, again use a cycle who do reach their destination and they can use the v i v as,

as that means awkward media. currently only 13 percent of our methods residents 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 was biking to work. now there are 4 or 5 people that were using it, at least one day. we often it's a small positive change for gender. writers like on keith compar, give officials hope that i'm with about will reach its goal of better, more sustainable public transport. and hopefully more people will soon switch to pedal, power honor unicycle, yana. 10 am back in can reach up to 40 kilometers an hour. he is coming up the combination of speed and balance and the high risk is what

fascinates me the most of i falls to stay riding high in the saddle. yanna keeps her concentration up and her eyes on the road and the little fun could present an obstacle. how kids run 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 had passed. the unicycle doesn't have anything to stabilize you image where so you have to find your center of management and learn to build speed and confidence without using your hands off the bond. 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 competition. but her talented balancing hasn't always been well appreciated. on the contrary, as kings lies on reading as a kid, i get in trouble for tipping my chair up on one leg and nursery school and rocking

back and forth while eating mine as from your guest. so they told my parents, they suspected i had a movement disorder and what was through whom had but my father was sure that wasn't true and he got me into sports side of that was the best decision he could have made well. and i'm very grateful to him for it open. now at age 21, she's collected medals in prizes the world over. at the 2018 world unicycle and championships and south korea, she beg 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 as machine. and that was another huge step forward that and that's really special to

me is 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 set up a little workshop in her room in the apartment. she shares. she owns 15 unit cycles for various purposes. one even has studded 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 does not mountain back up on hidden in a mountain bike or hit my unicycle from behind in a mud hole. oh and my leg got caught in between his crank and wail and fished my shin bone. got wedged amsec overton. i finished the race and one, but afterwards i had to go to the medic, the perry osteo was pretty swollen up. but that's the worst that's happened to me. outdoor so far, it is 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 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 next time on rev. ah, ah ah,

[000:00:00;00] with varying village naturally performance neuron watches. welcome to over i'm ago. people from all over the world come here to see the famous passion play and it's
