many im gonna watching on lunch. so anyway, very holiday destinations drowning in plastic white wine and happy to look at the causal every year. your other exports are 1000000 tons of plastic with there. another way. after all, the environment isn't to recyclable. make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines. ah, to day on rev the auto and mobility show all the 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 report an audi e tron brings light to villages in india in need of phoenix rising from the attic. the 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 thought as a strong environmental impact. and that is a significant social impact in the modules from within the audi. each one battery also help how're an electric rickshaw that can be charged with solar energy.

as it says, via and bas anabetta difficult, the shopping list a formula one 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 don't think it even at the core of my business, what did you find by the zone? but i thought i would, i think that he gets on your own cuba. i'm on food top on fuzz info. if you just want to make sure of the not even from analysis on these, you know, lose on fin can in the all rich after, as in for this am, these are 15, john have been alex us. so vanden in an actual, we did the fair and the reason impact. second life is as instead vilerkin vans indeed. but when i finished, there is magic watkins for auto plaza. this is vicky with the noise. i'm in north in pittman,

under the driver seat is an electric motor band for battery modules. they were once part of the battery in an audi a 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 gotta get the pain collaboration with the bavarian auto manufacture party chatter g, develop the prototype for the 2nd life batteries from the audi, e tri body, whether you that i have some faith from the leaks. i'll fire ga. spawn that the, the lies don't complete my lung fight mom. up who, who can death?

no doubt, filed by the battle. he eyed wagner then up to recent bunch of even the paper about toby out does the back mount often flatten liam. there was also not taste this method tivo because the thought of them about having beat off of in that come out the other one duffy decent plan to be defined for whom definitely to unless the german born indian found the new nom, start up with his business partner tar sean kiddle puck shot. who was based in bangalore. true 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. ah. 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 non 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 hm. so it is 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 reborn luxury, s u v battery. and as their production capacity increases, so does their income and their health improves to,

since they no longer have to work with machines that are powered by foot pedals and let go under the like in the summer that are calla ban. i think that the man, oh no, i'm the death to get to know might affect that, alyssa, but it to walk out a month for not men, quoted it a land problem in that a shot. and i look at some good sense of that. i the left mcglenn, good it but 511, but good. but by v i'll i get it be from won't be for last modified me. he wasn't already followed me. she. net math skills. i yes, started on a michael again, that is a good cookie. 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

men me 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, using modules from audi. tron batteries, a start up in a large corporation joint forces to do good noon on is the thought up stops. are people rich, i have visions which are innovative or which go into areas where we haven't been really up to floor. and the concept of the really benefited is noon on me, is to see such areas and to work with them and then to increase our innovative miss . this also help us to broaden the view small villages and bay people who are

smiling and really our better. and the 2nd life become a real 1st life of for, for them, for those people. it was thrilling 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. ah then bring a particularly exotic driving experience, the wind in the hair feeling of an open 3 wheeler from india to europe, lunch periods and a shiver shining on either side that makes me to each other's writing for june. when i see she may lie, sometime this is about perfect. for fernando mathson, just got me from when i couldn't even otherwise, but forced to another read

a 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 birth 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 at youtube slash dw rep, and you'll always be up to speed. ah,

in a few dimensions of a clean then. yeah. and then how many can uh huh. ah, official fees are safe space style. mm . think of john, me and you think of german engineering, german cars and the german autobahn. what you don't think of is the fact that like federal out the country is this one to has its share of problems like homelessness . but in typically dillman passion, it's the automobile to the rescue. there is at my high neck of blood in berlin to take a look at the berlin bush will be a frown or shower for women. it's

a social project that travels through the city, providing homeless women with the place to shower and feel safe. within a few minutes of the bush mobiles arrival it already has visitors, lining up some women stop by the collect clothes in a thin chill atens. some have a chat with tabby 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 and amuse up. this is extra for foreigners and on the silica mountain cliques and virtual guns, ellen dashed, toughest hosted in the tub. i was just such an unspoken as a minister in up the file. a petition. canons of team come out and and lavish cup recluse that gives us uses their hands, which please to fill out as

a musty and fled to an honorable ah naughty flounder. things are to die and clung to fond of bounce tuition. let's do from visitors. our garden safe space. diane walks out of town by the fall. yup. is fossil leon? hub of negative at home at midnight, marked on the sing for us in my book as an artist, last night alms, i'm will this this afternoon. kearney, modern. after trimming a 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 this before. lydia across 8 different venues in the city. the facilities within the boost 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, gamers doesn't go, films,

ones for chrome. that's the view for the next. and one 3rd of the lord ohio ruefully since the want to formed in tired, isaacson's et, rudy. i'll talk, but there is another valuable purpose to do from a meal served during the corbin 19 pandemic. it became a morbid vaccination center from 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 tabby, an ella's job. oh, my son. somebody found a note if i knocked on an imminent laugh, got over uneasy again, with an anger put a disc is on tight. this, tim can also be antagonistic to contact about of heightened current or the fact that homelessness exists in germany. come visit surprised to many while exact

numbers don't exist, the german federal working group for homeless aid estimated bet in 28 in nearly 680000 people across the country were homeless. figures that are believed to have drawn since. and current estimates indicate that 33 percent of all homeless people in germany are women are of steps off and i shall send him out of test vasily. even alba, fact is the says there feel a mention of test of alpha lima. and. and yet though, i'm from him as the last last. com data gets cancelled as if it is a glinda saliva. english her 10 long a partner shots 10 on an order m m booking for a job, david condition, wood, a wood out of and fuck. so he should come kaiten order under the concave and did so few and us to and then leave me muscle right? a few can see vizier flatten, fee and a foot salad. net. the ag owned am gaddis's,

anchorage on tape at 12. it's christ loved elsie, my right had read was going to be like if you buy to looted lynch, depth of dorothy 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 legs had been pared, the roof over their heads. a personnel goal for danny, here for you like me and then semester arbiten gear. yeah, i mr. my old fed vixen l and, and i know many cabinets will 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 mister walker with bonus to vocal neglect and reflect gather lung mansion mentions even what i admire, wasn't that vicinity. nish, as it says, with

a peasant castillo, as a person, dog under. com was see bite off emitted to harbor would unleash or, and that sat on much money on gov besides dar bus. last assessment didn't mention pursuit. ah, despite it all, there are silver linings. the students have job as this year of me, acting with my mid lining curtains august. my thoughts of us causes pavilion cotton as a, do you benevolent florida if i can get us feedback because monday, fall at admissions act as, as it's a best like it does is issued of the shrewd as yahoo damn at them and then says what was said of the class again con. while it isn't clear exactly how many women visit the facility in a thing are they had there are times when the lions get quite long. in order to prevent booking appointments or hiding their guests along tab b i n l. i believe that a 2nd bush movil 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, she will be a 2 point, all is well underway. the plan is for the completed viet camper van to hit the berlin streets and cater to homeless youth and children. by the end of theo, like the 1st more by a shower, it do has a focus on sustainability with solar panels to help by heating system. as for tabby in ela, well dan, looking forward to continuing to do the work they do and also driving another such bennett to berlin. yeah, i love the fun with and it's like smiles that they head off to another location in order to do movies to help the next lot of people

with the mercedes benz e q 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've had the am g version, the $53.00 formatting 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. let's talk about the technical data. the cow will deliver up to $505.00 kilowatts in the maximum boost node 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 to performing the dash from 0 to

a 100 kilometers an hour in 3.3 seconds. as this is a car and 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 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 bombs on the road. but 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 seed. 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 seat. to set it apart from the regular e q e models and g added an adapted version of their typical empty grill. with vertical stuff aerodynamically optimized, we'll come to lower consumption. the thing i didn't like about the e q e and that didn't change with the a and 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 e 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 occur point is just over q and a half times the interior of the a m g e q e with 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 used 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 ortho, antique and performance, and you can adjust these in 3 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 have a rather big then maybe you will hit your head at the side, but it's not that much. so even if you are 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 robber heart, 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 under 80 percent of energy left. and the call tell me the maximum i can go is around 30900 kil, on there. but it also tells me the minimum distance i will be able to go and that i thing 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 are 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 is rather strange though in the battle they 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 fast 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 echo variation, right? pedal plus laurie corporation plus again, even warrick operation. 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 am 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 formatting us is just under 110000 euros, and germany for that you will get a highly sporty electric vehicle that doesn't lack uncomfort. on the downside, it's looks 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 ah ah ah

ah ah, with ah, with small acts can inspire big changes. meet the people making a possible. you go africa joined them as they set out to save the environment, learn from one another and work together for

a better future. many thought you all for tuning in africa. in 30 minutes on d w. what's happening in she lane, it could soon become a more modern and progressive country, newly elected left as president, gabriela bought it, it's planning, major social reform. but pinochet's, legacy test, a very long changing of the guard into a close up 75 minutes on d w. ah,

i thought it's a journey across the entire continent with a variety of cars. so what and this, so the focus, the movers shake is visionaries and made it when by the, the meaning of modern africa. this is an egg and d, w law has no limit. no love is for everybody. a love matters. and that's my new podcast. i'm evelyn sharma, and i really think we need to talk about all the topics. the north divides and denied that and this i have invited many deer and well known gas. and i would like to invite you to an end

ah ah ah ah, this is dw slide from berlin. a 3rd of pakistan is under water. the monsoon floods are the worst in 3 decades. the government calls the devastation mind ballpark. if lifes climate change caused by other countries.
