    GM's New Website Will Answer Your Electric Vehicle Questions Now

    A new website run by GM offers live, one-on-one question and answer sessions for anyone curious about the benefits of owning an EV.You can book a “tour” with an EV specialist to learn about home and public charging, battery technology, and other topics. Users can see the specialist and ask questions via voice or text, but the video stream only goes one way.GM says the mission here is to sell the EV experience, not just more GM EVs.Starting today, GM is offering EV Live, a free educational platform that allows anyone curious about electric vehicles the chance to talk with an EV specialist over the Internet as part of a personal virtual tour that provides answers on how you can make the shift to an electric car.“EV Live lets us meet people where they are and have a real conversation about electrification,” Hoss Hassani, GM vice president of EV Ecosystem, said in a statement. “We’re selling the EV experience, rather than specific EVs.”

    GM is correct that some car buyers could use a helping hand to better understand electric vehicles. A May study by J.D. Power found that 24 percent of car shoppers said they are “very likely” to consider an EV for their next vehicle. Thirty percent of the people who were not interested in EVs said the reason was a lack of information. “Because firsthand experience with EV technology is still not entirely commonplace, shoppers need to be better informed about the ownership experience they offer,” J.D. Power said about the survey results.The Q&A tours happen at a sort of virtual customer information booth called the EV Live studio. To visit, the EV-curious need to make an appointment at the EV Live website or, if you’re lucky, you can sign up for an on-demand live tour, if a host is currently available.During your time with the host, you can ask questions via voice or text chat. The EV specialist will provide an answer, possibly with an assist from one of the website’s dynamic displays about home and public charging, battery technology, the sustainability of EVs, possible commercial applications, and information about how GM’s EVs connect with smartphone apps.Currently, GM is only offering one-on-one tours, but group tours will be available later this year. GM will also provide prerecorded sessions in the future, if you just want to watch and not interact with a host. EV Live offers a one-way live video feed during tours so the guest can hear and see the host, but the host has no ability to see video from anyone taking the tour.EV Live will conduct live sessions seven days a week between 9 am and midnight Mondays through Thursdays, 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. Fridays and from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the weekends (Eastern time).

    Hummer Electric SUV Purchased By US Military – For Testing

    Hummer EV is powered by three motors making 1,000 bhp of power and 15,500 Nm of torque (Not a typo)Hummer EV based Electric Vehicle Prototype for US militaryWhat comes to your mind when you think about the American Military? I bet you’re thinking about a Humvee, aren’t you? Humvee has become synonymous with the US military and for a good reason. Among the slew of military vehicles, Humvee is their most iconic  Lightly armoured Humvee could seat 4 personnel and was designed to trail behind heavily armoured tanks in combat. Humvee was the first vehicle to get portal axles as its differentials were hindering maneuverability by getting stuck on the centre bump in the track that heavy tanks left behind. It also had a circular cut-out in the roof for mounting Turret guns and grenade launchers.But there was one guy that was so impressed by the Humvee that he convinced General Motors to make a civilian version of it. Hence, Hummer H1 was born and all credit goes to Arnold Schwarzenegger (Not Arnold Shivajinagar, No). GM also launched H2 and H3 in Hummer series and all of them had a reputation of being terrible products in terms of engineering and quality. So, GM had axed the Hummer brand completely, until recently.Hummer EVGeneral Motors has resurrected the Hummer name, but in pure EV guise. Hummer EV comes in two form factors, a 5.5m long pickup and a 5m long SUV. Both get either a dual-motor configuration or a triple-motor configuration. The latter makes 1,000 bhp of power and 15,500 Nm of torque. No, no. I’m not crazy. That’s a true figure from General Motors.Hummer ElectricWhile the original Humvee has either a 6.2L V8 diesel, 6.5L V8 turbo-diesel or a 5.7L V8 petrol, the Hummer EV is pure electric. Hummer EV is now chosen by the US Army for demo and testing purposes owing to its long-standing association with the US Military. This step is to see if EVs are a viable option for future military use and Hummer EV is the first choice for this testing. Hummer EV gets a stupidly large 210 kWh battery and has a chunky 4,103 kg kerb weight. Everything about the Hummer EV is grotesque.Should Indian Military Consider EVs Too?Long story short, yes. But not for every single purpose. When it comes to powering heavily armoured combat vehicles, diesel is still undisputed. But where EVs might shine in the military is urban maneuverability and high-altitude patrolling that currently is hugely taken up by Maruti Suzuki Gypsy.We say high-altitude patrolling because the air gets thinner and thinner as we climb up the altitude. An ICE-powered vehicle burns significantly more oxygen than fuel. At high altitudes, oxygen levels go down drastically. EVs don’t need oxygen at all. In high-altitude places where the Indian Army currently patrols like Kashmir, Ladakh, Arunachal Pradesh, etc, EVs make a lot of sense.File photo.Right now, Indian Military use Mahindra ASLV, Kalyani M4, Mahindra MPV-I 6X6, Renault Sherpa, Mahindra Marksman, Tata Merlin, Mahindra Meva Straton Plus APC, Tata WhAP, Tata Safari, soon-to-be-replaced Maruti Suzuki Gypsy, and a lot more LSVs and MPVs (Mine Protected Vehicles and not Multi-Purpose Vans).In India, Tata Motors is the current EV champ and Mahindra is soon covering grounds with 5 new electric SUVs under Born Electric range. Also, both these companies have a long-standing relationship with the Indian Military. Maybe the Indian Government and Armed Forces would also commission EV manufacturers for testing the feasibility of EVs in the Army.  More

    Bajaj Technik, Tecnica Trademarked – New Chetak Based Electric Scooters?

    Bajaj has recently inaugurated a new Chetak manufacturing facility for future EV developments and productionImage for reference.Bajaj is currently the fourth-largest two-wheeler manufacturing company in India, in terms of sales figures. But when it comes to exports, Bajaj tops the charts as it is the largest two-wheeler exporter in India. When it comes to three-wheelers though, Bajaj is the largest manufacturer in the world.Even though Bajaj’s domestic sales are declining, the exports, however, are a whole different story. As seen in our Bajaj sales charts, Bajaj domestic sales stood at 1,25,083 units in June 2022 while it used to be 1,55,640 units in June 2021 registering a dip in sales of 19.63% YoY. While exports stood at 1,90,865 units in June 2022 over 1,54,938 units in June 2021 with 23.19% growth YoY.We mention this because Bajaj has recently registered three different nameplates in India. These new nameplates can be planned for India where sales are seeing negative growth, or for exports to boost their product sales globally in over 80 markets. Bajaj has also registered a lot of names before that it never used. We have Twinner, Pulsar Eleganz, Pulsar Elan and Blade.Bajaj Technik, Tecnica – New Names TrademarkedBajaj’s three new trademarks are Dynamo, Tecnica and Technik. We have covered more about Dynamo in a previous post explaining how it can be the name of a new electric scooter, ICE scooter, ICE motorcycle, electric motorcycle, or even a three-wheeled vehicle. We also covered the possibilities of it being the name of a powertrain too, that Bajaj might use with different genres of vehicles under its portfolio.New Bajaj Technik, Tecnica – Names of upcoming Electric Scooters based on Chetak?What comes to your mind when you hear the word Tecnica or Technik? Something tech-savvy? Something feature loaded? Or with a futuristic appeal? You’re absolutely bang on. If you look at Bajaj Auto, they have a lot on their plate right now. Being a mainstream manufacturer, Bajaj has to concentrate on both EVs and ICE vehicles alike. That’s the reason why Bajaj created the Chetak brand and dedicated a new facility for it in Akurdi.Bajaj also has plans on electrifying their ever-popular Pulsar brand. They also have plans on creating KTM and Husqvarna branded EVs. The names Dynamo, Tecnica and Technik can be correlated with something related to EVs. Right now, Bajaj has Chetak EV which doesn’t get any gizmos like Ather, Ola and Simple Energy offer.What can we expect?The name Tecnica and Technik can be a variant of Chetak offering a touchscreen dashboard with a digital key, cruise control, smartphone integration, navigation and more. Coming to the name Dynamo, it has to be related to an EV powertrain or at least a component. We have seen companies use creative names like Tesla, Faraday Future, Ampere, Emflux, Lectro, Pure EV, Revolt and more. Whenever you hear these names, an EV pops in your mind, doesn’t it?Dynamo means a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. We think Dynamo might be the name of a strong hybrid powertrain from Bajaj. Where an integrated motor is converting mechanical energy from an engine to charge a battery. It is not a crazy idea as passenger cars like Honda All New City, Toyota HyRyder and Maruti Grand Vitara all have strong hybrid powertrains.Indians are embracing EVs and hybrids now as the market is maturing and hybrid tech in two-wheelers makes sense too. Imagine a bike with 10-15 km of range on one charge for daily commutes and then the engine takes over for the highways and cruises. Not a crazy idea and Bajaj might be trying to stay ahead of the curve by offering this new tech first in India. More

    You May Get Fewer Car Warranty Scam Calls Soon; Thank the FCC

    People are really unhappy about auto warranty scam calls, filing more complaints with the FCC last year than the other four leading topics, like phishing and credit card scams.Now the FCC has named the people and organizations responsible and said other voice service providers have to block traffic from these sources or they might be considered guilty as well.Meanwhile, don’t give out personal information to anyone who calls you when you’re not expecting them to, even if they know what kind of car you drive, the FCC recommended.We’ve been trying to reach you concerning your car’s extended warranty.If you immediately felt frustrated upon reading those words, you’re not alone. The Federal Communications Commission has announced that it is going to block a massive auto warranty robocall scam campaign, and there’s little question why.People have been complaining to the FCC more about these warranty robocalls over the past two years than any other topic. These scam calls are in both English and Spanish, and the FCC said the people responsible are still sending out millions of illegal calls every day.”We are not going to tolerate robocall scammers or those that help make their scams possible,” FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel said in a statement. “Consumers are out of patience and I’m right there with them.”

    The FCC’s new order forces all U.S. voice service providers to “take all necessary steps” to make sure robocall traffic doesn’t reach our cellphones. If they can’t do that, the providers have to tell the FCC what steps they’re taking to mitigate the traffic. If the FCC thinks that the voice service provider isn’t doing enough to stop the calls, the companies “may be deemed to have knowingly and willfully engaged in transmitting unlawful robocalls,” it could force other providers to block traffic from the ineffective voice service provider.The FCC named the two main people it said are responsible for these scam calls, Roy Cox, Jr., and Aaron Michael Jones, and said their work was part of the “Cox/Jones/Sumco Panama Operation.” The FCC said the operation has been making scam calls since at least 2018. The Cox/Jones/Sumco Panama Operation ramped up operations in late 2020, when it purchased lists of nearly 500,000 numbers from at least 229 area codes so that it could make its calls appear to come from a local number. The FCC said Cox has already entered into a settlement with the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission and agreed to a permanent ban on all telemarketing activities. On top of the new order issued last week, the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau and the Ohio Attorney General are also taking action against the Sumco Panama Operation.Simple Steps to Protect YourselfThe FCC offers a few basic tips to protect yourself if you do answer a call from someone you don’t know about auto warranties. Don’t provide any personal information when someone calls you unexpectedly, and be aware that scammers might have some real information about you or your car that can make you think they’re legitimate. To be sure that you’re dealing with the organization you think you are, hang up and call the company using a phone number from previous legit interaction with them (like a bill) or one you find on their website.American telephone usage has changed over the years. A 2020 survey by the Pew Research Center found that more than 80 percent of Americans no longer answer phone calls from numbers they don’t recognize. Pew didn’t assign any particular cause to this behavior, but the first potential reason cited in the announcement was that people might be “overwhelmed by robocalls.”Complaints about auto warranty scam calls resulted in over 1000 complaints each month last year, other than four dips into three-digit territory in July, August, November, and December. Consumers complained to the FCC about scams regarding credit cards, insurance or health care, legal issues, and phishing less than 400 times each throughout 2021, except for March, when there were around 450 complaints about phishing. In 2020, people filed more complaints about auto warranty scam calls than the other four categories put together. If you would like to file your own complaint, visit the FCC’s Consumer Complaint Center.
