So close to a REAL volcano
By: Mayas House
Tags: Ecotourism, Voluntourism, Guatemala City, Volunteering, Traveling

In April 2019 we went to Guatemala to see the country but also to volunteer at a school there. The school was called Sosep Santa Maria de Jesus. When we were done teaching we would have the rest of the day to do whatever we wanted. One of these days we went to see Volcano Pacaya. I have been to see many volcanoes from far. But all of the ones I have been to were dormant. This was my first time seeing a real volcano up close and seeing oozing lava and hearing eruptions. You can see from the picture the lava. We got so close to it we could actually roast marshmallows. We spent a long time roasting and eating marshmallows. Once in a while there would be an eruption sound and lots of rocks and pebbles would fall and you would see the red lava come out a little bit. There was a really cute dog who followed us there all the way just so he could eat our marshmallows.

I dont know how to put up videos here yet so I cannot put the one I took. But here is a video of the volcano I found on YouTube. Mine is very similar and thats exactly how loud the sounds are. At first you get a bit scared but then its just so cool and fun. I think it is one of the coolest experiences I have had so far! By the way I took this picture!

Sonos users can now double the boom in any room by adding a second Sonos Sub subwoofer Robert Dec 23, 2020·2 min read

Sonos builds an awesome subwoofer, but customers lucky enough to own very large home theaters and listening rooms—and the custom installers who cater to that deep-pocketed crowd—have long wanted the option of deploying two Sonos Subs. Today, Sonos released a software update that lets them do just that.



Mentioned in this article Sonos Sub (Gen 3) See it The Sonos Sub is not a conventional low-frequency-effects speaker in the sense that it can’t be connected to an A/V receiver or paired with just any soundbar. It must be deployed in conjunction with another Sonos speaker or a Sonos amplifier.



And those who want to deploy two Subs in the same system must have a Sonos Arc, Beam, or Playbar soundbar; a Playbase sound base; or a Sonos Amp. One of the Subs must be a Gen 3 model, which has increased processing power, and you’ll need to have the latest version of the Sonos S2 app, which is rolling out today.



[ Further reading: The best soundbars ] Union LA / Sonos Sonos has re-released the Sonos One SL Union LA Edition speaker.



In other Sonos news, the company is re-releasing the Sonos One SL Union LA Edition, a collaboration between Sonos, interior designer Sheila Bridges and the streetwear brand Union LA. The limited-edition speaker was created in partnership with Color of Change as part of the organization’s #TellBlackStories initiative. The speaker’s grille is printed with Bridges’ Harlem Toile pattern. You can read more about the collaboration in this Sonos blog post from 2019. The $249 speaker can be purchased at SheilaBridges.com and UnionLosAngeles.com.



Last week, Sonos announced the Arc SL Shadow Edition, a microphone-free soundbar that’s a Costco exclusive. You can read more about it in our earlier news story.

HBO Max comes to Roku devices at last
Tags: Music, Connected Home, Chargers, Streaming

Roku users will soon no longer need a workaround to watch HBO Max. Roku has announced an agreement with HBO that—starting tomorrow, December 17—allows Roku users to download HBO Max from the Roku channel store.



Roku and WarnerMedia have been feuding over HBO Max since the streaming service launched back in May, with the two sides at odds over several issues. Chief among them: Whether Roku would be required to provide HBO Max as a separate app, or if Roku users would use Roku Pay to buy HBO Max subscriptions. It’s not clear how those disputes were ultimately resolved, as both sides are mum over the terms of the agreement.



Hisense Roku streaming devices, including smart TVs running the Roku operating system, will soon be compatible with HBO Max.



[ Further reading: The best media streaming devices ] Mentioned in this article Roku Ultra (2020) Read TechHive's reviewMSRP $99.99See it Word of the settlement comes just a couple weeks before the COVID-delayed Wonder Woman 1984 debuts on HBO Max. The latest Wonder Woman epic will debut both on HBO Max and in theaters on Christmas Day, and it will mark HBO Max’s first 4K title. In addition to Wonder Woman 1984, all of Warner Bros’s upcoming 2021 movies will land on HBO Max the same day they arrive in theaters.



Now that HBO Max is coming to Roku, the streaming service is finally available on all the major streaming platforms. Amazon’s Fire TV was one of the last holdouts, but Amazon and WarnerMedia reached their own agreement last month.



Prior to the deal, Roku users were essentially high and dry when it came to HBO Max, although they could cast HBO Max videos to their devices via AirPlay.



Besides its movie offerings, HBO Max is the streaming home of such HBO shows as Game of Thrones, Big Little Lies, The Sopranos, Euphoria, Lovecraft County, Watchmen, and Last Week Tonight, as well as such syndicated shows as Friends and The Big Bang Theory.

Roborock’s S7 robot vacuum aims to be the only cleaning robot you’ll need

Roborock’s S7 robot vacuum aims to be the only cleaning robot you’ll need Marco Jan 27·2 min read

Roborock was one of the first manufacturers to build a robot vacuum that can also mop hard-surface floors. The company’s all-new Roborock S7, announced during CES, will be its most advanced cleaner yet when the appliance ships in March for $649.



The Roborock S7 features a sonic mopping system that can vary from 1,650 times per minute up to 3,000 times per minute to disintegrate surface dirt andd dried-on spills. An intelligent lifting system detects when the vacuum transitions from a hard-surface floor to an area rug or carpet and automatically lifts its mopping unit.



[ Further reading: The best robot vacuum cleaners ]With Roborock’s previous vac/mop hybrids, you needed to deploy no-go strips to prevent it from moving onto carpet while it mopped. This new model will also lift its mop unit when it docks for a battery charge or after it has finished its work, to avoid leaving a wet pad resting on your floor.



This new model will offer the same suction power as the Roborock S6 MaxV that preceded it—2500pA—but the manufacturer says its redesigned brush hugs the floor better and should do an even better job of pulling dirt out of your carpet.



As with previous models, the Roborock S7 will support Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Siri and it can also be controlled with Roborock’s companion app for Android and iOS.



We’ve had favorable opinions of each generation of Roborock’s bots—including the Roborox S4, S5 Max, S6, and the S6 MaxV—so we’re looking forward tchecking out this new model.

The WiSA SoundSend streams high-resolution, multi-channel audio to compatible wireless speakers

The WiSA SoundSend streams high-resolution, multi-channel audio to compatible wireless speakers Cathy Jan 27·2 min read

CES is entirely virtual this year, depriving the home audio industry of its most important annual venue for showing off its consumer-oriented wares. But the innovative technology that delivers high-resolution, multi-channel audio without any wires would have made the WiSA SoundSend stand out like a bright red rose at any show.



WiSA You don’t need a separate remote to control the volume, but the SoundSend mobile app provides a means to fine-tune your speaker system.



If you’re not familiar with WiSA (the acronym stands for Wireless Speaker & Audio Association), read our in-depth primer at this link, or you can read our review of the Enclave CineHome Pro.



The SoundSend is a small, AC- powered puck that plugs into any smart TV with an ARC or eARC port and wirelessly transmits the TV’s audio to WiSA-certified speakers that are fitted internally with matching signal receivers and amplifiers.



The device is aimed at juicing the market for WiSA-certified high resolution wireless speakers from WiSA licensees, including Bang & Olufsen, Enclave, Klipsch, Harman, and others. Additional licensees are expected to be announced later in the first half of 2021.



It’s important to note that WiSA technology can wirelessly stream up to eight channels of uncompressed, high-resolution audio: 24-bit resolution with a 96kHz sampling rate. What’s more, the SoundSender can decode most varieties of Dolby, including Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital+, Dolby TrueHD, and Dolby Atmos. There’s no support, however, for any of the DTS surround-sound formats.



WiSA The WiSA SoundSend can stream high-resolution multi-channel audio to compatible wireless speakers.



[ Further reading: The best soundbars ]WiSA says its tech keeps picture and sound tightly in sync—with signal latency from the source of just 5.2 milliseconds and the sync between speaker channels within 1 microsecond—and our experience with the aforementioned Enclave system backs that up. Volume is controlled with the TV remote, but WiSA’s MyZone mobile app includes tools for speaker equalization and sweet-spot calibration.



The SoundSend hit the market in mid December at an asking price of $179, but it can also be purchased bundled with WiSA-compatible speaker systems, including with the 5.1-channel Platin Audio Monaco ($899 at Amazon).

Google adds a privacy-oriented Guest Mode to its Home and Nest smart speakers and displays

Google adds a privacy-oriented Guest Mode to its Home and Nest smart speakers and displays Shannon Jan 27·2 min read

It’s easy to ask Google Assistant to forget the last thing you said to your Nest or Home smart speaker or display (“Hey Google, that wasn’t for you”), but now there’s a way to temporarily keep Google Assistant from remembering what you said in the first place.



Related product Google Nest Hub Max Read TechHive's review$229.00MSRP $229.00See iton Google Google’s newly launched Guest Mode acts like an incognito tab in Chrome. While Chrome’s incognito mode won’t remember your browsing history, Google Assistant’s Guest Mode lets you chat with the Assistant on your Google smart speaker without your interactions being recorded.



Just say “Hey Google, turn on Guest Mode” to activate the new privacy mode. When you do, you’ll hear a special tone on your Google smart speaker, while a banner will appear on a Google display.



[ Further reading: The best smart speakers and digital assistants ]With Guest Mode enabled (which shouldn’t be confused with the old Guest Mode, which allowed visitors to cast media to your Google devices without connecting to your Wi-Fi network), you can ask Google to play music, check the weather, or read headlines, without any of your requests being saved in your Assistant history.



Guest Mode could also come in handy if a visiting friend (yes, we’ll have friends over again—eventually) wants to use your Google smart speaker without getting results that are personalized for you.



When you’re done with Guest Mode, you can simply say “Hey Google, turn Guest Mode off,” or you can check if the speaker is still in Guest Mode by asking the Assistant. On a Google smart display, the Guest Mode icon will remain on the screen until you turn the mode off.



Of course, if you chat with Google Assistant on your smart speaker without turning Guest Mode on, you can always erase your interactions after the fact. Just say “Hey Google, delete my last conversation,” or “Hey Google, delete today’s (or this week’s) activity.” You can also set Google Assistant to delete your voice history automatically, on a regular basis.

How to Make a Wireless Charger for a Laptop

Sometimes you must had thought of getting rid of long-wired changers. So this article will help you to create a wireless charger for your laptop. SEOOutreachers Apr 23·1 min read

Wireless charging is the most recent craze in the world of electronics. Using a well-known phenomenon of physics, chargers now use induction to transmit power wirelessly from one point to another. This phenomenon has been very recently exploited commercially, allowing the advent of wireless chargers, almost all of which use the same technology.

To make a wireless charger for your laptop, you will need a basic understanding of physics to make sure that you know what you’re doing, and basic knowledge of electrical paths, to make sure you know which wire goes where.

To begin, you will need an AC-DC converter. This is one of the most important parts of the entire setup and is critically important to prevent your laptop’s battery from being damaged.

Next, you will need two metal or plastic pipes about a foot long and about 3 inches wide, one being about a fourth of an inch narrower than the other. Metal, possibly iron pipes are always advised since this allows for more efficiency in the linking of the magnetic fields from the source to the receiver.

Samsung to introduce 65W fast charger
Tags: Samsung, Samsung Galaxy, Tech, Charger, Technews

The listing for the 65W fast charger from Samsung revealed its model number, which is EP-TA865. The charger was recently also spotted on another certification site. This new charger would be the highest-rated fast charger from Samsung. Most other Samsung devices support up to 25W fast charging. The charger appearing online and being certified means that the company is probably going to release a smartphone that supports 65W fast charging.

This new charger from Samsung supports up to 3.25A or 20V maximum current output. The model number on the BIS listing also matches with live images of the charger that was shared by LetsGoDigital earlier this year. The images showed that the charger will feature a USB Type-C slot instead of a regular USB Type-A. Samsung will provide a USB Type-C to Type-C cable along with the charger. According to the leaked images, the charger will also support Power Delivery(PD) and Programmable Power Supply (PPS) technologies.

As for which smartphone will get the new 65W fast charger, we have no idea. It will most likely be a new Galaxy flagship device, or could also be a mid-ranger A series as Samsung sometimes launches new technologies with these devices. The South Korean giant is still pretty late to the fast charging game, as other brands like OPPO, Realme, Xiaomi, etc have already launched fast chargers that offer up to 120W charging speeds.

The Moorebot Scout is an AI-powered robot camera that can autonomously patrol your home Kevin Feb 1·2 min read

There isn’t too much that hasn’t already been done in the smart camera market. They’re smaller, clearer, and, yes, smarter than any than ever. But the Moorebot Scout has one feature that makes it stand out from the crowd: four-wheel drive.



The Scout consists of a 1080p camera with night vision and two-way audio support mounted to a wheeled chassis measuring just 2.8 x 4 x 4.3 inches. Its tiny size should enable it to roll into the tightest spaces. Even more intriguing: the camera’s integrated artificial intelligence renders it autonomous—it can operate without human intervention.



[ Further reading: The best home security cameras ]The quirky gadget is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core ARM CPU, 1GB of DDR III memory, 4GB of flash memory, a dual-band Wi-Fi adapter, a collection of sensors, and a SLAM (Simultaneous localization and Mapping) algorithm for navigation. The Scout can patrol the interior of your home, recording video clips in response to sound or motion in its vicinity. Video can be stored onboard, sent to the cloud, or streamed to a smart display.

Moorebot also offers an easy-to-use modular programming language, Scratch, that owners can use to customize the Scout to their liking, making it an educational tool for learning how to code. “Scout’s applications range from an intelligent mobile home camera, a pet companion, a surveillance tool for the handyman, and an inspiring, modern learning toy for kids,” said Moorebot CEO Jun Ye.



The Moorbot Scout will be priced at $179 when it launches in the early spring on Amazon. We’re certainly intrigued and look forward to getting our hands on a review unit in the next few months. Stay tuned.

Why the Phone Gets Hot While Charging and How to Avoid It

Why the Phone Gets Hot While Charging and How to Avoid It James Will Aug 13·3 min read

Maybe we all had the experience that the phone always gets hot when charging. But why is it so?

Why The Phone Gets Hot

The processor is getting hot

The processor is a highly integrated SOC chip. It integrates the CPU central processing chip and GPU graphics processing chip and a series of important chip modules such as Bluetooth, GPS, and radiofrequency. When these chips and modules operate at high speeds, they will dissipate a lot of heat.

2. The phone is getting hot

When the phone is charging, the resistors inside are battling with the incoming current. Heating is definitely inevitable, and it is mainly concentrated on the battery and PCB board.

3. The battery is getting hot

Kind reminder: It’s best not to use your mobile phone to make calls, play games, or watch videos when charging. This will cause the voltage to become unstable and generate more heat. In the long run, it will also shorten the life of the battery. This behavior may even increase the probability of a battery explosion.

So, does that mean the mobile phone is only in a healthy state when it is not heating up? In fact, this is not the case. As long as the mobile phone stays within the normal temperature range, usually below 60 degrees, there’s nothing to worry about. Actually, if your phone is not heating up at all, then there’s probably something going wrong. Remember that not being hot on the surface does not mean that the phone is not generating heat. It is likely caused by the lack of heat dissipation graphite patch or poor thermal conductivity, and the heat accumulated inside cannot be dissipated. In fact, it will even cause certain damage to the phone.

How To Avoid It

So, what should we do if the phone is getting hot while charging?

1. Avoid playing games, watching videos, or talking while charging.

2. If you have to talk on the phone for a long time, please keep the mobile phone away from your cheek. Try to use the handsets or earphones.

3. Close the redundant apps that you are not using right now, especially games and video apps.

4. Turn off the automatic download and automatic update functions

5. Avoid using a protective case with poor heat dissipation, or remove it when the phone is hot.

6. Heat can be transferred when held in the hand or in the pocket. So try to put it in a ventilated and heat-dissipating place. If there is air-conditioning, let the phone gets some cool air too.

7. Avoid long-term use of high-energy-consuming app programs.

8. If the phone is already hot, cleaning up the memory will effectively cool it down.

9. If the steps above don’t work, then turn off your phone and let the phone temperature return to normal before continuing to use it.

Is Frequent Charging of Smartphones Harmful to the Battery? Why?
Tags: Phone, Battery Life, Charger, Battery

Frequent charging of the phone and letting it dry is a habit that can damage its battery life. This is because lithium-ion batteries have a specific number of charging cycles or the number of times they can be fully charged

Is it Bad to Charge your Phone Multiple Times a Day?

Just plug and unplug a few times a day. This not only keeps your smartphone’s battery in optimal operating condition for a longer period of time but also keeps it fully charged for the whole day

By the way, I charge my phone 3 times a day

Does Overcharging a Phone Battery Damage it?

Misunderstandings about overcharging of mobile phones are common. Most devices are smart enough to stop charging after being fully charged, just charge as needed to maintain 100%.

Therefore, it is absolutely safe to charge your phone at night, just make sure it does not overheat.

What Happens When Phone is Charged Overnight?

1, When the battery is fully charged, it will automatically stop charging, but in some cases, once the charge drops to 99%, more energy is needed to recover to 100. This continuous cycle consumes the life of the battery

2, Long charging time may cause the phone to heat up, which will damage the battery and reduce performance. The battery is more suitable for dealing with the cold. Professional tips: remove the phone case before charging.

The MOST stressful modern issue
By: Michael De Groot
Tags: Internet, Stress, Mindfulness, Wifi, Charger

Photo by Paul Hanaoka on Unsplash

Kids, teenagers and adults have never felt as much stress in their lives as they have today. The pressure put upon every age group by advertisers is immense. It is actually worse than paying tax in fact it is like paying tax. It’s draining.

But not even as stressful as Chargers, WiFi and Internet access as they are potentially the MOST stressful and comes even before stressful relationships and stressful family. If we don’t have security around Chargers, WiFi and the Internet, we become very short tempered and moody. We will be short with others and even rude. You may even accuse others for the reasons why you don’t have access to those essential human needs. Seriously that has happened to us at home!

It even comes ahead of food and water. We can live without food and water for at least a day, but not without Chargers, WiFi or the Internet.

We now expect to be able to walk into any public place and be able to connect to WiFi, free of charge. Do you remember the days when you visited hotels and you had to purchase a 1 hour or 24 hour internet access voucher. I know some hotels still do this, like the UK’s Travelodge, but I’m talking more about the bigger hotels, when you made use of their reception area for meetings. Now we can walk into any reception in any hotel and expect to be able to go to the reception desk and ask for a WiFi code totally free of charge.

Amazing!

Aukey Focus Duo 30W Dual-Port PD Charger

10

A fast, compact wall charger.

Last week, we attended Imaging USA, a photography-based convention that comes complete with dozens of learning sessions. I tried to be a sponge and soak up as much as I possibly could. This involved using my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro to take notes, which led to drained batteries. I was trying to travel light so I opted to leave my main charger in the room and stow the Aukey Focus Duo 30W Dual-Port PD Charger in my bag instead.

The benefit of doing this is I not only had a USB-C PD port, but I also had a USB-A port available to charge multiple devices at one time. The full name of the device is the “Focus Duo 30W Dual-Port PD Charger with Dynamic Detect” and it’s a mouth full. So, I decided to just call it the 30W charger. The charger has built-in safeguards that protect devices against excessive current, overheating, and overcharging.

The charger is augmented with Dynamic Detect, which means the USB-C port can output 30W Power Delivery when used on its own. It also has the ability to charge a small laptop with that PD charge. Aukey claims it is compatible with the 12-inch MacBook Air, Nintendo Switch, iPhone XS Max, Google Pixel 3 XL, Samsung Galaxy S10+ among other devices. I was actually able to charge my 2016 13-inch MacBook Pro with it and I was able to charge the battery with it. This laptop actually came with a 61W wall adapter from Apple, but I’ve occasionally found power adapters that will charge it even when they shouldn’t be able to.

In addition to charging my laptop, I also charged a Sony Xperia X10 and an iPhone 11 Pro with this wall charger. It worked famously. I used a USB-C meter to check the output charging capabilities with these different devices and got the following results.

Sony Xperia X10 Mobile Phone: Charged using USB-A port; 4.94V/0.19A

iPhone 11 Pro: Charged using USB-C port; 5.34V/2.2A

13-inch MacBook Pro: Charged using USB-C port; 19.7V/0.61A

SPECS

Model: PA-D1

Input: AC 100–240V 50/60Hz

USB-C Output: (Power Delivery 3.0) DC 5V 3A, 9V 3A, 12V 2.5A, 15V 2A, 20V 1.5A

USB Output: DC 5V 2.4A

Max Power Output: 30W

Dimensions: 60 x 55 x 28mm / 2.3" x 2.1" x 1.1"

Weight: 103g / 3.63oz

I think the Aukey 30W PD Wall Charger is a really nice travel companion because it eliminates the need for you to take more than one wall charger on road trips. I like that it’s compact and simple to use. It can easily pack away in a laptop case or suitcase.

Buyers often pick cheap batteries having no warranties, this not only wastes their money but costs valuable time. So, before you spend your money on a custom forklift battery charger, take some time to learn how to choose the right kind of battery for your forklift charger.

The first step while buying a charger is to collect some peculiar data about your charger. It would be easy for you to find the right kind of battery with the right specifications.

Most of the forklift chargers are either 48 volt or 36 volts. So before buying make sure that what your lift truck can handle. It otherwise can cause serious damage to your device.

Checking the battery dimension is another important point to consider while buying your next charger. Although the manufacturer’s batteries should fit, it’s better to check whether they are compatible with your chargers are not. You can also buy from a manufacturer or supplier that offers custom forklift battery chargers. You need not check anything with these suppliers, just tell them your specification and they will provide you the same.

You need not check anything with these suppliers, just tell them your specification and they will provide you the same. Incompatible amp hour rating leads to sulfated batteries. So, it is necessary to check the amp hour rating before buying. If you want maximum power and run time then choose the highest rated amp battery that can fit in the truck’s compartment.

Don’t buy from such manufacturers who are not providing any warranty or service life. Only purchase from those who are offering a warranty- the longer the better. Ask how they will handle warranty issues and do you need to send the battery away for the service.

Some battery chargers require distilled water after five to ten charges. This water saves the active material in the battery and if the water level drops too low then the material dries out and gets brittle. This can damage the battery permanently and shorten its life. So before buying check whether the battery requires water.

In the end, if you are looking for the right forklift charger at reasonable rates then it is best to buy from a wholesale forklift battery charger supplier. RHYL is a renowned supplier of high-quality forklift chargers. We offer right battery charging solutions to our clients at a wholesale rate.

Thanks for the fantastic feedback on the packaging designs Seymour showed you in the last update. It’s thrilling to know you love these designs so much as we work to set a new standard across the board with these products. (If you want to see last week’s update it’s here)

This week we’ve done a video showing how we solved a very significant challenge with one of our products over the holidays.

You probably know that business these days is David vs Goliath — with the big tech companies writing the rules and a single change can be devastating.

A few weeks ago a MAJOR challenge came up with a rule being imposed on one of our products, a rule which frankly completely blocked the design.

If you’ve been with us for a while you know we’ve faced this kind of thing a couple of times before… and our strategy is always the same: don’t think of it as a roadblock, but as a chance to create an even better design.

We believe we’ve done that here and would love you to take a look, please.

Wireless Charger Receiver Converter India 2021
By: Best Electronic Gadgets

Wireless charging (also known as cordless charging) is a type of wireless power transfer without any wire connection. It uses electromagnetic induction to provide electricity to portable devices. The most common application is the Qi wireless charging standard for smartphones, smartwatches and tablets. Wireless / Inductive charging is also used in vehicles, power tools, electric toothbrushes and medical devices. The portable equipment can be placed near a charging station or inductive pad without needing to be precisely aligned or make electrical contact with a dock or plug.

Inductive charging is an named because it transfers energy through inductive coupling. First, alternating current passes through an induction coil in the charging station or pad. The passing electric charge generate a magnetic field, which fluctuates in strength because the electric current’s amplitude is fluctuating. This changing magnetic field generates an alternating electric current in the portable device’s induction coil, which in turn passes through a rectifier to convert it to direct current. Finally, the direct current charges a battery or provides operating power.

Greater distances between sender and receiver coils can be achieved when the inductive charging system uses resonant inductive coupling, where a capacitor is added to each induction coil to create two LC circuits with a specific resonance frequency. The frequency of the alternating current is matched with the resonance frequency, and the frequency chosen depending on the distance desired for peak efficiency. Recent improvements to this resonant system include using a movable transmission coil

What matters more in EV charging: The Software or the Hardware? Greenmobile Mar 21·2 min read

EV is not anymore; just some concept people can study. It has turned into reality, and auto manufacturers are racing to produce the best models, compete with Tesla models, and fulfill the consumer demand. With the greater need comes the responsibility of installing EV charging stations. Many companies take a step into the EV infrastructure, install stations, provide Heidelberg Home Eco, and get as many EVs as they can on roads.

EV sales are still going strong.

While there have been some significant business setbacks during the pandemic, EV sales have bounced back to the pre-pandemic demand. From 2017–2018, the global EV sales rose to 65%, and as per a Bloomberg study, EVs would account for 10% of all vehicle sales by 2025. It would then grow to 28% in 2030 and 50% by 2040. Such tremendous growth represents a huge opportunity to revolutionize the Elektroauto laden infrastructure. Several business owners say that investments in EV stations are like a golden goose.

Don’t focus on financials.

While financial numbers matter the most, you need to know more than the business models or the company’s physical footprint. As more consumers turn to EVs as their transportation mode, station owners need to understand that the software powering their hardware is an open network. Many EV companies prefer to bind customers to their software. It is a measure of benefit for the manufacturer but limits their customers’ software engagement.

Several advantages of an open charging network

An open network can work on any hardware and meets all the Open Charge Point Protocol standards. An open network is a flexible one, allowing you to choose from a wide range of hardware vendors and add new stations down the road. An open EV charging network benefits the entire EV charging industry, allowing a variety of charging station brands leads to quicker expansion of overall infrastructure and greater efficiency.

Open systems make for reliable infrastructure.

Despite the optimism surrounding the EV charging market, there is still a big question mark concerning the EVs and EV charging stations’ reliability. Several Heidelberg Home Eco variants are available in the market, but there is a significant ‘Range Anxiety’. There needs to be flexibility in drivers’ exact serve, allowing more business owners and property owners to be a part of the revolution. An open system empowers both your hardware and software.

Introduction to Bolts Union

Tags: NFL, Sports Bloggers, Football, Chargers

Hello fellow Chargers fans and all other interested parties! As you all know, Bolts Union is a new hub for all things Chargers related. It’s a relatively small account on Twitter and of course on Medium.com, but I hope that in the coming months it’ll grow into something better.

I chose this platform, because I don’t see it be used as much by other Chargers blogs (at least that’s what I think), so I figured why not aspire to become a prominent Chargers blog here. At the moment, I’m not looking to make any profits from this page just because for me this is a hobby. I hate ads on wordpress.com

You may ask yourself what the expectations of this page are and to put it into simple terms, it’s just a Chargers blog. I’ll be writing a little bit of everything from opinion pieces to news stories and to rumors — anything and everything Chargers related.

I will try my best to post at least once or twice a week and that’s because I’m a college student, so most of my time will be spent on virtual class sessions and of course I am human too and I have my personal duties.

Lastly, if you have any suggestions on what you’d like to see me write about, don’t hesitate to contact me via email boltsunion@gmail.com, send me a DM on Twitter @boltsunion or leave a comment below!

Introduction

On a bright sunny weekend we executed our plan to go for a long ride which we have been planing throughout our weekend. My bike was ready for the trip and just the day before he had been to the service center for all the essentials it needs to be to function great. The oil meter displayed on the medium block. We planned for Kolaghat where Sher-e-Punjab is the heart of the place. Any person going there or passes by for at least once visits the place “I was just creating a great scenario in my mind” By the time she was getting ready, I was gearing up myself for the ride. All I was doing was thinking how would I click pictures, how important would this ride be for me,what impact it would bring on my experiences. My Budget mind was also calculating the expenses, I made a rough estimate and I was all ready by now.

Phase I

She came running down the stairs just like a wind with al, the thrills. It seems that even she was equally excited with me. After all it was our first long trip since we met each other. She came down and said “I am ready” I have kept all the essentials my lipstick, my eyeliner and then I simply interrupted that its a day plan and we would return by evening, Let’s leave now. We are already an hour late as per the schedule.

Phase II

I had already decided on my playlist while I would be riding. I had simply popped in one of my earphones and the other she took it. We sang them while riding, It felt that I was Ranveer Kapoor of Roy. It was like one of my dreams come true. It was already an hour and we have reached our first tool gate. I paid 70 Rs and headed ahead. It showed more than 45 Kms to reach. My battery had drained by now to 45% and then we decided to stand in a nearby shop and refresh ourselves with a cup of tea. While we took a short break I decided to charge my phone. Then there a shocking realization that I realized that I have just forgot my charger. It simply made me mad. I was sweating, I had no idea what to do, she was trying to console me saying its Ok to be without charge but I did not feel consoling.
