An indo german Success Story with once were born an audi each on brings like 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 thought as a strong Environmental Impact. And that is a significant social impact in the modules from within the out. E trying battery also help howre an electric rickshaw that can be, were charged with solar energy. As it says, via and bas anabetta, difficult to shop a fine formula, one world champion. Niko los bag is enthusiastic about the project and very keen on taking a test drive in the 500 kilogram rickshaw. With a 10 kilowatt hour battery. It has a range of up to 120 kilometers a little thing. I dont think it even its the core of a my business quality or find that isnt. But i thought, i think you that means that he gets on yom kippur. Im on food top one was info. If you just want to reach us after the ellen, not even from when alpha one, vin begin to lose on content and the all rich after, as info, this is a from, from john, have been alex us. So vanden and exploited the fair and reason impact. Second life is as instead via urban vans indeed. But he and i found his math. And my id card can look for autos, one that is as easy as if the noise. Im in no offended. Haden, 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, its 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 in collaboration with the bavarian auto manufacture Party Chatter g developed the prototype for the 2nd life batteries from the audi e tron. By the way that he is alive, some faith from the big saw. Ill fire ga. Spawn that the, the lies. Dont complete my lung fight mom. Up who, who can death . No doubt, filed by the but of he ive. Uh huh. And then up to with the pay me about to be on the back. My often flattened liam. And i was, i was not technician perspective a because the thought of them about of the media. Hey, come as the other one does. He decent frenzy defies it for whom bessie lisa. Unless though the german born indian found to the new nom, start up with his business partner. Tar schon. Feudal puck, chuck, who is 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 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. During the day, the 2nd life batteries are then recharged with solar panels. Mm thought as well as strong Environmental Impact and that is a significant social impact. So whenever you have electricity, you always have usually a positive impact because people are able to do more like in the case of these women taylors in karnataka, they can now, so theyre 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. Ah, let go under the michael some other. Carla, benefit that the man oh no, im the death to get a photo. Might affect the liver, but it to walk out a month were not been quoted the the land problem. Me le. Oh excellent. And i look at the marble go center that i the left madeleine good, but by the evil one, the good it but they the, the, ill, i get it to be from what be for last modified me. He wasnt already valid machine, it out of an air kills i. Yes. Started on the market, given that a good cookie. The know how and the technology for the development of functioning. Second life Battery Systems is still in its infancy. The Research Continues in new times. First project and 2017 2nd life batteries were created from used laptop batteries. Each individual battery sales 1st put through its paces. Many 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 and a Large Corporation joined forces to do good noon on is the thought up stops. Are people which i have for regions which are innovative or which go into areas where we havent been really off the floor and did the concept, although youd benefited as noon on research to see such areas and to work with them and then to increase our innovative miss this also help us to broaden, to view small villages and very people who are smiling and really our better. And the 2nd life become real 1st life of for, for them, for those people. It was thrilling for me. Its a project, the transfer, 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 and also Power Electric rickshaws that can be recharged by solar energy and bring a particularly exotic driving experience. The wind in the hair feeling of an open 3 wheeler from india to europe. Lunch, finishing of a shiny gong. I decided makes me that each members writing for june. When i see she may lie somehow as a 2nd. Im about that thanks. L. Fernando martin cut me from when i cook, and even though i would forced to another letter good in puzzle, its 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 e, rickshaw, the rebirth of the electric car, which in its 2nd life transforms into something even more sustainable.

What you dont think of is the fact that like federal law, the country is this one to has its share of problems like homelessness. But in typically dillman passion, its 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. Its 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 do mobiles arrival, it already has visitors, lining up some women stop by the collect clothes in essential items. Some have a chat with tabitha and ela.

Im with modern after a similar project in paris, berlins own mobo shower has been traveling through the city since 2019. And its helped a lot of people in 2021 alone over 400 and puppy women youth difficulties across 8 different venues in the city. The facilities within the boost movie logistic to suggest women.

And one 3rd of florida ohio hurriedly sent on to 4 homes in time or the friends 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 berlins Homeless People. Ah, the burning shower on wheels is about much more than just access to hygiene. Its 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 alarm job. Oh, my son submitted ready phone a note about afternoon and im and stuff got uneasy again. Would on anger. What . Because on tides, us teams can also be antagonistic knowledge of contact about of height and couldnt, or the fact that homelessness exists in germany comes as a surprise to many. While exact numbers dont exist, the German Federal working group for homeless aid, estimated bet in 2018, 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, or men of office. All industrial cinema of test parcel. Even of our fact is the says there feel a mention of national alpha, lima. And. And yet though, im from the same as the last last. Com, duffy gets cancelled as if this is Glenda Felice in ratio 10 on a Partnership Plan on an order m m bluefield i dropped david condition would earn, would i of and fuck.

The German Government has pledged to tackle the problem. The e. M. Is to ensure homelessness is eradicated by 2030 and to make sure that every les had been pared the roof over their heads. A personal goal for danny here. So were actually in then semester arbiten gear. I tristram, an old fedex own 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.

And then says what was said of each class again con. While it isnt clear exactly how many women visit the facility in a single they had, there are times when the lions get quite long in order to prevent booking appointments or hiding their guests along tabby and l. I believe that a 2nd bookmobile is the need of the hour. Fortunately for them, wittiest miller, who funded the 1st news 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 isnt 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 berlin street and cater to Homeless Youth and children. By the end of theo, like the 1st more by a shower, it to 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. Oh, the fun with smiles that the head off to another location in order for the dish movie to help the next lot of people with the Mercedes Benz e q e is definitely among the Barry Electric vehicles with the biggest range right now on the market. But today its not only about range, its also about sporting this as sweet as 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. Talk about the technical data. The car 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 a torque of 1000 newton meters to performing the dash from 0 to a 100 kilometers. Now 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. Theres what youre expected to do. Its a comfortable ride, no matter the surface, its still an e class. So you of course have the right to expect that ah, if you then change to 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. But what you also feel is the acceleration. Its 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 youre 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 strength, aerodynamically optimized, well come to lower consumption. The thing i didnt like about the q e and that didnt change with the am 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 steering, 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 2 and a half ton the interior of the a m g e q e. 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 dont really like it especially because of the wrong part here in the middle. Its way too big and way too round. Then you have these 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 didnt do anything i didnt 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 felt experience which were make the car sound different. You have orthodontic and performance, and you can adjust these in 3 different steps. The space in the back here is pretty decent. I mean, look at that leg room, thats 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 its not that much. So even if youre way above one meter 90, you will just sit down little low and then youre 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 seat, 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 theyre on 80 percent of energy left. And the call tells me 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 in 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 car 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 in the range though, is the battled, do have lettering on them which says dollars or up, but if i press up, the recuperation will go down right now. Im in no recuperation 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 dont 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. Gloss again, even warrick operation, but its just the other way around. Take some getting used to and rather counter intuitive or maybe i just dont get it. The am g, e q, e, can feel its battery at up to 170. 00 kilowatts per hour at fast chargers. 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. Its incredible. But of course all of that comes at a price and im not only talking about money, but also about range. And that somewhat defeats the purpose of an electric car, doesnt it . You want to go the maximum distance possible and not the fastest way possible. Dont use the base price for an am g, e q e. 53 formatting us is just under 110000 heroes and germany. For that you will get a highly sporty electric vehicle that doesnt lack in comfort. On the downside, its looks are not for everyone. And the manual settings for recuperation. Take a bit of getting use to hope you enjoy the ride.
