ah, it's waters connect people of many cultures seen of almost rock and jaffar. abdul karim drift along with exploring modern lifestyles and mediterranean where it has history left its traces, meeting people hearing their dreams. ready to read this week on d. w. to day on read the auto and mobility show all the e v. batteries get a 2nd light providing power in india. the shower on wheels helps out homeless women in berlin. and a m. g spices up the already very sporty, mercedes, e q e. with

an indo german success story with once reborn and audi. e tron brings light to villages in india, in need of phoenix rising from the attic, be aptly named 2nd life batteries from the audi tron are used to light up streets and also power electric sewing machines in a small textile factory in india. a strong environmental impact, and that is a significant social impact in the modules from within the audi. tron battery also help howard electric rickshaw that can be, were charged with solar energy does it says via and based on a shopping list,

a formula on world champion. niko los bag is enthusiastic about the project and very keen on taking a test drive in the 500 kilogram ritual. with a 10 kilowatt hour battery, it has a range of up to 120 kilometers of the whole thing. i didn't think it. we've been at the core of my business quality or find out his and private barbecue that needs that he gets on yom kippur. i'm on food talk when the funds info, if you just wanna make sure have the ability elena, to, even from when a lawful on been the, him lose on fin can in the all rich, awfully as in for this m d 's a 50000000 have by now makes us so vanden inequality, that they are not even impact. second life is esynthier vilerkin vans indeed, but he and i found his math, and my id cards can look for auto. plaza is visit us with the noise unknown. hidden, hidden under the driver seat is an electric motor. and for battery modules,

they were once part of the battery in an audi e tron. dozens of these modules all grouped together in the cars, floorboard form the battery that supply power to the car. but when the batteries efficacy drops to around 75 percent, it's time for it to be replaced. the cells, however still find use in other applications. for example, the modules from older e trans can power rickshaw for at least 7 years after the conversion takes place. that i got to get the collaboration with the bavarian auto manufacturer of the podium chatter g, develop the prototype for the 2nd life batteries from the audi. e tron, by the, by the user license, faith from the vix. i'll fire ga. spawn that the, the lies. don't complete my lung fight, mom up who, who can death is no doubt fired by the but a v i v. and up to him about something. the painting of, of

e l doesn't back more often flatten liam. i'm not technician perspective of it's not up to the thought of them about having beat up. i'm in that. come on the other one does. she didn't fan beat up on the food actually to unless though the german born indian found to the new nom, start up with his business partner. tar schon. feudal puck, chuck, who was based in bangalore, grew in india. the company deals with the research and development of 2nd life batteries. for example, they converted to battery modules from the outer e tron into a portable battery and it brings light to parts of india. when the sun sets in many parts of india where electrification is not very advanced, life carries on in the dim glow of gas lamps. but new nom 2nd life battery also makes indian streets shine at night spaces, stay open, longer merchants can continue to sell their wares. late into the night,

they earn more money and their standard of living rises. ah. during the day, the 2nd life batteries are then recharged with solar panels. mm. thought as a strong environmental impact and that is a significant social impact. so whenever you have electricity, you always have a usually a positive impact because people are able to do more like in the case of these women tailors and karnataka, they can now. so they're closed with electric sewing machines powered by the new non battery, which is in essence a re bore luxury as u. v. battery. and as their production capacity increases, so does their income and their health improves to, since they no longer have work with machines that are powered by foot pedals

and let go under the bucket of summer that are calla ban. i think that the man, oh no, i'm the death to get to know what the liver but it to walk out of the month when i'm included in the land problem. me le. oh excellent. and i look at it from a consent and that elicit madeleine good, but by the it will look good, but maybe i'll again let it be from won't be for last march play the he wasn't already followed me. she narrowed her. can bear killed. i. yes. started on a mark what given an advocate, quickly the know how and the technology for the development of functioning 2nd life battery systems is still in its infancy. the research continues in new dumps. first project in 2017 2nd life batteries were created from used laptop batteries. each individual battery sales 1st put through its paces. then the functional sales are assembled with a new battery management system to form

a small, portable battery. which can then help power the lights used by indian st vendors, for example, the project received funding from the audi foundation for the environment. the cooperation with the auto manufacture also helped give rise to the idea of building even larger and more powerful 2nd light batteries use modules from audi. e tron batteries, a start up and a large corporation joined. forces to do good. no, not as the start up. start ups are people rich, i have a regions which are innovative, which go into areas where we haven't been really out. he floor and did the concept, although you'd benefited his new non research to see such areas and to work with them and then to increase our innovative miss. this also help us to broaden the view more villagers and bay people who are smiling and newly our better. and the

can life become a real 1st life of for, for them, for those people. it was threatening to me. it's a project that transcends national and cultural borders. large battery modules from the out of each on transformed into 2nd life batteries that in turn, power electric, sewing machines in india and make the everyday work of indian women easier than also power electric rickshaws that can be recharged by solar energy and bring up a particularly exotic driving experience, the wind in the hair feeling of an open, 3 wheeler from india to europe. lunch with edison of a shiny gong. i did makes me to each other's writing to do and when i see she may lie somehow as a 2nd. i'm above her. thanks. alice fernando mathson. you cut me from when i cook and even though has been forced air and i was with a really good in puzzle. it's likely only

a matter of time before nicholas bag swaps the out of each on with which he has been cruising the streets of his home town of monaco for years for a new vehicle the rickshaw, the rebirth of the electric car, which in its 2nd life transforms into something even more sustainable 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 rep can make you very happy. vintage classics and future tech or just some of the exciting content waiting for you, subscribe to us it. youtube slash dw rep, and you'll always be up to speed. ah,

what is the says f e dimension of the stuff with me and then ellington, height, lawman can of her official pieces are safe space style. ah think of young me and you think of german engineering, german cars and the gentleman out to bon what you don't think of if the fact that like several other countries, this one to has its share of problems like homelessness. but in typically dillman passion, it's the automobile to the rescue. the i was at my high neck of blood in berlin to take a look at the berlin daughter will be a full crown or shower for women. it's a social project that travels through the city, providing homeless women with

a place to shower and feel safe. within a few minutes of the do mobiles, the arrival it already has visitors, lining up some women stop by the collect clothes in a thin chill items. some have a chat with tabitha and ela. the social workers who operate the service and others use the opportunity to seek solace away from the street. and finally pick a shower except of her lip to serve as for her undone i am the muse up. this is extra for foreigners and on the silica mountain peaks on virtual guns. ellen dashed, toughest hustling it up. i was just such an unspoken them as minister enough to fall. superstition canons of team come out and then lavish cup recluse then gets of us uses and hands which please to fill out as

a musty and fled to an honorable ah naughty flounder. things are to die and clung to founder from bounds. fusion let's do from visitors. are safe space diane walks out of town or the follow up is fossil leon. hum of negative a monogamous. on the thing for us in my book as an artist, not alms, i'm will this this afternoon. kearney, modern, after a similar project in paris, berlin's own mobo shower has been traveling through the city since 2019. and it's helped a lot of people in 2021 alone over 400 and puppy women used. it's pathologies across 8 different venues in the city, the facilities within the booth movie logistic to suggest women. and even though men aren't allowed in said they're more than welcome to stop by collect something to eat, break up clothes, or even personal hygiene articles that he is that goals gamer, doesn't blossoms, ones for chrome. that's the view for the next and want to see lord ohio,

hopefully soon on to 4 homes in time or the finish rudy top. but there is another valuable purpose to do from a meal served during the coven 19 pandemic. it became a mobile vaccination center for berlin's homeless people. ah, the burning shower on wheels is about much more than just access to hygiene. it's also about actively going out into the city to find people who might not know how to access the help they need to get off the streets. providing them with this information is a critical part of tubby on ellers job. oh, my son submitted ready found a note about doctrine and imminent shopped out of any z again would on anger board because on types of teams, canals of yanagishta, native contact about of heightened comb or the fact that homelessness exists in germany comes as a surprise to many while exact numbers don't exist, the german federal working group for homeless aid, estimated bet in 2018,

nearly 680000 people across the country were homeless. figure that i believe to have drawn since. and current estimates indicate that 33 percent of all homeless people in germany are women, are hern of sport, and dodge sal, cinema of test vasily. even about fact is the says there feel a mention of national author, liam. and, and yet though i informed him as the last last. com duffy gets cancelled as if the glenda the lived in ratio and on a partnership plan on an order m m, buddha dropped a good condition would. would i of and fuck sushi sher, concomitant order. another concave, indeed at so few and us to and then leave him as a waiter for cancer beserra flexion. fairness with salad nets, they are owned on yard of anchorage, some type at profit skies loveday that my wife had read was centurylink. if you buy

toyota lynch dix, i've taught you that off for com, the german government has pledged to tackle the problem. the e miss to ensure homelessness is eradicated by 2030. and to make sure that every les had been paid the roof over their heads. a personnel girl for danny here for you actually. and then from mr. arbiten gear. yeah, i, mr. mon, old fedex own l. and, and i know many can of sort of come the more by a shower and the services it offers are crucial part of the potentially hard journey. but it does have its limitations. the v begins, if you mention here endorse will be monsieur mentioned then via mr. walker, we got a bonus to vocal big lighting, reflect gather lung monster mentions even what i admire. wasn't that vicinity. nish, but it says with a peasant past, it is a person dog under. com. was the right of emitter to harbor would unleash or,

and that on much my younger besides dar bus. last assessment they had mentioned pursuit. ah, despite it all there are silver linings. the surgeons have job is that? yeah, of me acting with my mid lie. nish, curtains august. my thoughts of us causes pavilion. cotton as a do you benevolent, flawed. i fucking good as feedback, but com and if or not at wishes act as, as it's as best i get that is issued of the should as yahoo, dom at them and then says what was said of the class again can while it isn't clear exactly how many women visit the facility in a single day. there are times when the lions get quite long in order to prevent booking appointments or hiding their guests along tabby i n l. i believe that a 2nd bush more bill is the need of the hour. fortunately for them, mathias miller, who funded the 1st dish mobiles project, is working on exactly that. the plan is to provide more people across berlin with access to the facilities that they need and the ability to live

a life of dignity. proof that there is kindness in this word and that the automobile isn't always the menace to society. construction of to do so will be a to point or is well underway. the plan is for the completed viet camp of and to hit berlin street and cater to homeless youth and children by the end of the year, like the 1st more by a shower. it to has a focus on sustainability with solar panels to help by eating system. as for tabby, an ella well then looking forward to continuing to do the work they do and also driving another such bennett through berlin. yeah. uh huh. the fun with smiles that they head off to another location in order for the jewish movie to help the next lot of people with

the mercedes benz e q u e is definitely among the battery electric vehicles with the biggest range right now on the market. but today it's not only about range, it's also about sporting us as we test the am g version, the $53.00 for medic plus. and with that, welcome to the ref. jake. an g is mercedes high performance unit renowned for their sporty, customized versions of more state mercedes model. talk about the technical data. the car will deliver up to $505.00 kilowatts in the maximum boost mode with the performance package, plus and only for a limited time. the base power off the car is $460.00 kilowatts, which is still pretty impressive. at max the car will have torque of 1000 newton meters performing the dash 10200 kilometers an hour in 3.3 seconds.

as this is a car in the middle to upper segment, the angie e q e features a range of different rightnow and come from, 08. there's what you're expected to do. it's a comfortable right. no matter the surface, it's still an e class. so you. busy of course have the right to expect that ah, if you then change tooth board or sport las mode, then you will definitely fear the difference. especially in the suspension of the car. it gets stiffer, you feel more of the bumps on the road. oh, what you also feel is the acceleration. it's check that all right. now this is simply crazy. le moment you push the paddle, it will shoot forward and push you back into the seat. just the exact moment you do it. no matter how powerful the combustion engine car is, while you're driving,

if you press the gas pedal, it will always need some time to build up momentum and you can get used to it as a driver. not with that car electric car, you press it, it shoots forward, and it shoots yourself back into the sea. to set it apart from the regular e q, e models and g added an adapted version of their typical am g grill, with vertical strength, aerodynamically optimized. we'll come to lower consumption a thing i didn't like about the e q e and that didn't change with the a. m g version is the fact that the front is very roundish. of course they did this for optimized air resistance because 2 thirds of the energy a car needs is for cutting through the air. so better air resistance means less energy and thus more h m g e key has rear wheel fearing making the almost 5 meter long car more nimble than expected at lower fees and more stable at higher speed. at her

point is just over 2 and a half times the interior of the a. m g e q eith, a very clean. you have almost no buttons of course those at the steering wheel. but apart from that, there is almost nothing. talking about the steering wheel. it is the typical a. m g steering wheel, but i don't really like it especially because of the wrong part here in the middle . it's way too big and way too round. then you have the touch buttons here at the steering wheel. i am not a friend of touch buttons, but i have to say those work pretty neat so i didn't do anything i didn't want to do once i use them. then you have the m b, u x high per screen, which is also optional for the a. m g, 53 top version. but there you can adjust anything you would wish. for example, settings found experience which were make the car sounds different. you have

authentic and performance, and you can adjust these angry, different steps. the space in the back here is pretty decent. i mean look at the leg room, that's very much and the head room is quite good as well. of course, if you run the big, then maybe you will hit your head at the side, but it's not that much. so even if you're way above one meter 90, you will just sit down little low and then you're good to go. talking about sitting the seats are pretty comfortable, i have to say at the front and at the rear as well. the only thing that is not comfortable in the middle feed, i mean if i press into that will right here and compare it to that one. it is rather hard, so 4 people will be sitting quite comfortably. and one was the, just like the regular you versions, the a m g has

a 90.6 kilowatt hour battery at the bottom. and with that, the car make claims arrange off around 520 kilometers according to w l t p. in comparison, regular e q e, with the highest range will make up to 640 kilometers. of course, more powerful electric engines will use more electricity and decrease the re the right now where they're on 80 percent of energy left. and the call tells me and the maximum i can go is around $3900.00 kil, on there. but it also tells me the minimum distance i will be able to go. and that i think is a pretty nice feature. 222 kilometers. i talk about the recuperation, there are 3 different levels and the maximum is strongly cooperation. and if i then take my foot off the accelerator,

the cow will break and it will break pretty strong up to $260.00 kilowatts of recuperation possible. and that way you will be able to drive the car in one pedal drive. though i have to add, if you want the car to stop completely and then you will have to break at the end because the car will not stop on its own. the why being yes, rob the strange though is the battled. do have lettering on them which says down or up. but if i press up, the recuperation will go down right now. i'm in no hurry, cooperation. and if i want more recuperation, then i need to press the left pedal which says down, and then it would give me higher recuperation. i don't know, right? the right one would be plus for shifting as well. so i would have expected it to go

like no corporation, right pedal plus laurie corporation plus again, even more corporation. but if just the other way around, take some getting used to and rather counter intuitive or maybe i just don't get it . the and g e q e, can feel its battery at up to $170.00 kilowatts per hour at fast charger. according to w l t p figure it takes 15 minutes to get enough power to go 180 kilometers in the in my final verdict on the new am g e q, e, 53 for medic plus driving this car is really a blast. i mean, you press the gas pedal, it presses you back into the seat. it's incredible. but of course all of that comes at a price and i'm not only talking about money, but also about range. and that somewhat defeats the purpose of an electric car, doesn't it? you want to go the maximum distance possible and not the fastest way possible.

don't use the base price for an am g, e q e. $53.00 formatting plus is just under $110000.00 heroes and germany. for that you will get a highly sporty electric vehicle that doesn't lack in comfort. on the downside, it's books are not for everyone. and the manual settings for recuperation. take a bit of getting use to hope you enjoy the ride. see you again on the next episode up, read the auto and mobility show lou with
