Dear Colleague,

EVs (Electric Vehicles) are no longer facing insurmountable technical challenges to mass rollout. Technical breakthroughs in recent years have allowed EV makers, energy suppliers and governmental organizations to move with considerable impetus towards making the electric-powered vehicle a reality.

There are strong growth potentials in the EV charging infrastructure market as well. Cleantech market intelligence firm forecasts that a total of 4.7 million such charge points will be installed worldwide during the period from 2010 to 2015.

In terms of connection to the grid, "the infrastructure can only be successful if the charging plugs and so on are standardized", says Van den Bossche, Secretary of IEC TC (Technical Committee) 69.

The 2nd Annual Electric Vehicles Asia: http://www.asiaelectricvehicles.com/ this 28 – 29 September 2010 in Seoul will bring together industry key players from government sectors, international vehicle manufactures, key component manufactures and technology providers from around the world to capitalize on this new & emerging business opportunity.

Electrotherm in talks to acquire US-based Firefly

Gujarat’s electric two-wheeler maker Electrotherm India Ltd(EIL) is looking to acquire Illinois based lead acid battery manufacturer Firefly Energy. The US-based company has already filed for bankruptcy in March. EIL owns the popular electric scooter brand ‘Yobykes’.
“Yes, negotiations are in a very advanced stage with Firefly. It makes electric batteries, and is a suitable acquisition target for us as there are significant synergies. The company has already filed for bankruptcy in the US,” confirmed a highly placed source in the company. However, he refused to divulge details on the probable deal size, but Electrotherm could be purchasing Firefly’s assets.
Firefly has a loan of over $6 million with PNC Bank. Peoria City and County are the guarantors for the loan who are now moving forward with an agreement to allow Electrotherm to buy Firefly’s assets including its patents for batteries. Sources in Electrotherm said that they are cautiously optimistic that a deal would work out whereby EIL would be able to acquire Firefly’s assets.

Pollution and Inflation: Two Worst Evils EV Revolution the Only Savior

On the other day I witnessed a Business Presentation by an Economic Advisor of a leading member nation of the OPEC.
It was heartening to hear that they are able to control inflation within 2 % for a longer period during the last decade. Though I raised the question on the ‘secret behind it ‘, I knew the reasons behind that. It is only their control on the Crude Oil Prices and the fact that Black Gold only controls the   International Economy which is dependent on Petroleum Products’ price and fluctuations. It is no longer a Gold based or US $ based one. You can find that there will always be a direct relation between the prices of Yellow Gold & Black Gold .The reaction for Yellow Gold mostly arises in Indian homes but the Black Gold will affect the whole world.
We have forgotten the Panchayat Raj or the Dharmakartha principle of M K Gandhi. We are wasting our time, energy & money to the new Maharajas of this hereditary democracy and the 1000 and odd families of leading politically strong families of various parties. Only the flags change and not the attitudes.  Our young I T Professionals are sold by body shopping to earn the crucial US $s  . But the local Maharajas and Slaves in India waste the US $s in unnecessary commuting  using the conventional automobiles within India due to wrong economic policies without any regulations on conservation of Petrol & other Energy .  There is always a geometrical proposition of increase in inflation due to increase in petrol/diesel prices. We have never adopted the district level planning and development. We have no power plants installed district -wise and education or other infrastructures established district-wise. We always think of large and waste a large and bring in unnecessary logistics .These logistics need lot of petrol or diesel. It is all to give business to the OPEC .OPEC maintain their internal inflations well by 100 % export of their inflation along with the Barrels of Crude Oil. We work hard with kaizen or continuous improvements & productivity [in private sectors only] to pay for the inflation .Our Finance Ministers & RBI have no control on this. They are only periodically adjusting taxes & interest rates to meet the Crude Oil Bills. Our Government Employees including the Maharajas [ M Ps & MLAs ] also get compensated at periodical intervals without any relevance to the contribution.
