A random YouTuber, put out a video - ‘Here is why Electric Cars Are Not the Future’ and in addition there is another video which came out some time ago by a reputed reviewer of ICE cars.
Many of you wrote to us asking us to make a reaction video. So we checked it out and the entire video has a lot of incorrect information with no references - Anyone that doesn't provide authentic references that you can verify yourself, is a big suspect in our opinion.
Ultimately we hope you can understand why electric vehicles are far superior compared to pollution vehicles and why it's important to phase out petrol and diesel for India’s betterment and wellbeing.

Gowri Omanakuttan from Purpose and Atul Gopal from PluginIndia were a part of the #EVmyDelivery campaign to reduce emissions, spoke with AshrafEngineer from All Indians Matter.
There’s a cost in the form of emissions to e-commerce deliveries; EVs are part of the answer
India logs 2.6 billion e-commerce deliveries a year and the last-mile emissions per delivery, 285 gCO2, are way higher than the global average of 204 gCO2. Five cities – Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore and Chennai – emit more CO2 from last-mile deliveries than the last-mile emissions of entire countries such as France and Canada. Gowri Omanakuttan and Atul Gopal, who’re part of the #EVmyDelivery campaign to reduce such emissions, talk to All Indians Matter.

SUV’s running on Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) consume more oil and generate more pollution than small cars. For decades, there have been movements all over the world to highlight the flaws of SUVs and to limit their production.
Unfortunately, car makers all around the world and in India continue to aggressively market these vehicles. Why?
Join us in this hard-hitting podcast that calls out Indian and MNC automakers who don't care about the air pollution in Indian cities or about India’s oil import bills.
For the CEOs and investors in the pollution vehicle industry, it's business as usual.

Rapid Fire questions and EV Community questions in the end.
Rapid Fire Questions
Can the sunroof be opened/closed?
Your website says R3 will have 300L rear and 100L front space. Does that mean we will have a frunk?
You will have three modes of regenerative braking - Aggressive, Normal and Off. Can these be configured in the car?
Will the in-car turn-by-turn navigation be based on Google Maps or are you developing proprietary software?
We will have physical buttons to adjust the AC temperature. True/False?
What can the touchscreen not do?
Give us an example of a voice-controlled command on the Strom R3
Can I see efficiency readings in Wh/km and graphs of my drive?
Can a user choose between 3 seats vs 300 L boot space? Can we have an extra seat behind?
Regarding the battery, what is the percentage of degradation one can expect after, say, 4 years/48000 km?
When can we expect to see the future tech features you promised - Automatic vehicle following and parking assist.
