It's Friday February seventeenth twenty seventeen, I'm Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield and
this is T.E.N., the green car YouTube show that should be ten minutes long but I there's
just too much news to cram in (and you already tell me I talk too fast).
To start today's show we're off to Los Angeles, California, where General Motors
has introduced more than one hundred Chevrolet Bolt EV electric cars to its established Maven
car sharing fleet.
Since GM launched Maven City car sharing in Los Angeles back in October last year, there's
been an average 56 percent growth in members month-over-month, meaning that demand for
existing fleet vehicles has soared in recent months.
And since Maven supplies vehicles for Lyft's Express Drive program (where Lyft drivers
can rent GM vehicles by the week so they in turn can offer Lyft services), the inclusion
of more than 100 Bolt EVs in the vehicle pool should mean that around a quarter million
all-electric miles will be covered by its Maven Fleet per month (based on current usage
data).
And to incentivize people to pick a Bolt EV over one of the other Maven vehicles, GM has
teamed up with EV-Go to offer free charging (at least initially) on EVgo Freedom Station
networks throughout California.
Nice.
With the Tesla Model 3 electric car expected to dramatically increase Telsa's electric
vehicle market share, the California company is doing everything it can to make sure its
Supercharger network is ready for the increased numbers of people trying to make use of of
those super-fast DC quick charging stations.
And so we heard last week that, as promised by Tesla some time ago, the company has now
switched on the 'live status' update feature of the Model S and Model X version 8.0 software
update that was pushed to customers' cars back in January.
Now, as well as route planning your journey to the nearest free Superchargers, Tesla's
new software will tell customers via an on-screen update information about how congested their
chose Supercharger is, displaying the information in both graphic and text forms.
In other words, if that Supercharger you're heading to is kinda busy, you'll at least
have a choice to replan your route in many areas.
As for combatting stall wait times?
Well, we also heard this week that Tesla has started putting temporary additional Supercharger
stalls at certain locations where demand is going through the roof, just to help ease
congestion.
But the advice is clear: use your car's on-board system to plan those routes and if
you see a Supercharger getting full, consider charging elsewhere.
It doesn't matter how careful an automaker is in its pre-launch testing or how large
the vehicle production run is: there's always some problem with the vehicle that necessitates
a recall, either for a hardware issue or more commonly these days, a software issue
And that's exactly what all two thousand eight hundred and forty Toyota Mirai hydrogen
fuel cell sedans around the world are being recalled for, after it became apparent that
a software issue with one of the fuel cell stack systems could result in it producing
a higher-than-designed output voltage that could exceed designed system voltage.
Like most recalls, it's a rare-case scenario not seen during testing, but should an overvoltage
error occur, affected cars will turn their systems off and display an on-screen error.
So, to fix it, Toyota is pushing a software update to the fuel cell system of each Mirai,
a process that it says will take about an hour to complete at a local Mirai-approved
dealership.
Luckily, there are so few cars involved (because Toyota has sold so few) so expect this recall
to go without a hitch.
For the past decade or more, the Scandinavian country of Norway has sat at the top of global
electric vehicle mass-adoption charts, thanks to its generous incentive programs, incredible
perks for electric car drivers, and forward-thinking attitude to clean power.
The result?
Plug-in sales have accounted for a sizeable proportion of new car sales for months now,
totalling an impressive 28.8 percent of all new cars sold last year in the country.
But last month, electric car sales went above one third of all new cars sold for the first
time, accounting for an impressive thirty-seven percent of all new cars.
Just think about that for a second.
Thirty-seven percent.
Or to put it another way, just thirteen percent away from being the majority of all new cars
sold in the country.
And with Norway hoping to have all new cars zero emission by 2020, I think it's really
possible that Norway will not only become the first zero emission car country but reach
that target on time.
This, people, is why I've been doing what I've been doing for the past decade.
It gives me warm fuzzies inside.
From Norway now to the U.S., where South Korean automaker Hyundai has announced the entry-level
price for its 2017 IONIQ EV.
Starting at twenty-nine thousand five hundred dollars before incentives (or dealer and handling
fees) the 124-mile electric car is super-competitively priced, and manages to out price a whole bunch
of other competitors, including the Nissan LEAF, BMW i3, Ford Focus EV and Volkswagen
e-Golf to name a few.
But perhaps what's most interesting is that it's only about eight grand cheaper than
the Chevrolet Bolt EV, a car whose battery pack is just over twice the size of the IONIQ
EV's battery pack and manages another 110 miles per charge.
So the question is this, if you had to choose one of them, which would you pick and why
(assuming you could pocket the difference)?
Leave your thoughts in the Comments below.
Spend any time in the world of Tesla electric cars, and you'll come across a guy called
Jason Hughes.
Not only is Hughes one of the foremost owner-experts on the Model S and Model X (having taken his
apart several times) but he's also a super-smart engineer who has reverse-engineered a whole
heap of Tesla functions over the years including installing autopilot hardware in his wife's
pre-autopilot Model S P85.
And if that wasn't enough, the 31-year old day-trader is also running his home from an
upcycled Tesla battery pack that he's rebuilt into his very own off-grid battery system.
Well last week he hit the news again after completing a series of updates to his Yellow
Model S that (thanks to some hardware tricks) gave his Model S 30 percent more power at
the rear wheels than it had when it left the factory.
The result?
A Tesla Model S (which he now calls the P90 ++) that can make 553 horsepower and 480 pound
feet of torque at the rear wheels.
Impressive -- I can't wait to see what his next project (A DIY conversion with Tesla
parts) is going to do.
Watch this space!
We've already spent some time this week talking about how electric cars are gaining
market share around the world, but now it's time to talk about how electric busses are
gaining market share around the world, courtesy of Proterra CEO Ryan Popple.
Talking to GreenTechMedia last week, Popple predicted that in just four year's time,
one-third of new fleet bus purchases around the world will be electric, by twenty twenty-five,
one half of all new sales to transit agencies will be electric busses, and by twenty thirty
every single bus new bus will be electric.
Admittedly, he happens to be the boss of one of the world's largest electric bus manufacturers,
but with blistering evolution in electric vehicle battery design and rapid charging
technology, it's entirely conceivable that he's right.
And with very few weeks not going by now when we don't hear about some new electric bus
purchase or other somewhere in the world, we're inclined to agree, as the costs associated
with electric busses are far lower than they once were, and the fuel savings alone (even
for a small city) could be six figures or more.
And that's a saving worth investing a lot in, don't you think?
When it was first designed way back in the nineteen eighties, the diminutive Smart Car
(originally envisaged as the "SwatchMobile) was meant to accommodate a hybrid drivetrain.
But with no car companies taking the design seriously, it wasn't until the mid nineties
that the Smart Car (now a joint project between Daimler and Swatch) was truly born as a petrol
two-seat runabout.
But as of the end of this year, Daimler has announced the Smart brand will become a one
hundred percent electric brand in the U.S., with only electric versions of the Smart ForTwo
sold from that point onwards.
It may not be the hybrid design of the original car, but it's one better as it has no tailpipe
at all.
And you've got to love how this has all come around full circle.
As to the rest of the world?
Well, you're going to get petrol, diesel, or electric for the foreseeable future, but
y'know, going all-electric is now certainly a possibility.
You might not have noticed, but in recent months we've seen a fairly constant stream
of engineers depart Google's (sorry Waymo's) autonomous vehicle program for pastures new,
either joining rival autonomous vehicle companies, automakers or setting up their own software
houses specializing on autonomous vehicles.
The reason?
Well it seems that when it was setting up its autonomous drive programs, Waymo's parent
company Alphabet offered such incredible salaries (and massive lump-sum bonuses for those who
stuck around) that engineers no-longer needed to stay at work for the salary.
IN other words, it paid its employees so much that they could then afford to go do something
else and not worry about a stable paycheck.
And with every automaker (and many hardware and software companies) looking to get into
autonomous drive, it's meant that Alphabet's hiring strategies have kick-started a massive
autonomous driving revolution.
The question is this: was it intentional or not?
Leave your thoughts in the Comments below.
It may have only just debuted as Kia's first hybrid crossover, but the all-new 2017 Kia
Niro will, apparently, gain an all-electric sibling some time next year.
That's according to Michael Cole, chief operating officer of Kia Motors Europe, who
told Dutch news outlet AutoRai that a Kia Niro EV SUV will come to market very soon
as a 2018 model-year car.
Apparently, it will use a 28-kilowatt-hour battery pack and 88 kilowatt electric motor,
although range has yet to be confirmed.
This of course is alongside a plug-in hybrid Niro which is due to hit the market some time
this year, hinting that like its parent company Hyundai, Kia seems to be betting on a future
where it will offer all of its vehicles with a choice of hybrid, plug-in hybrid or electric
drivetrain, as well as perhaps a hydrogen fuel cell variant -- if the price is right
of course.
At the tail end of last year, Daimler's trucking arm announced the Urban eTruck, an
all-electric truck that it planned to bring to market with an 18 tonne and 25 tonne configuration.
Primarily designed for deliveries in large cities, the eTruck was previewed with a triple
battery pack configuration totalling 212 kilowatt-hours of capacity that, fully laden, should be good
for more than 125 miles of range per charge.
Well, now, following initial test programs, Daimler has begun limited series-production
of the vehicle, and is offering select fleet operators the chance to become early adopters
of its zero emission urban delivery vehicles.
Initial customers will be chosen carefully however, and production figures will likely
remain under triple digits until the final large-scale production vehicle is released
some time by 2020.
And finally,
When it went on sale at the end of last year, the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV became the most
affordable long-range car you can buy today, thanks to its 236 miles of EPA-approved range
and 60 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack.
But as anyone who knows about EPA figures can tell you, that figure is just a guide.
It's possible to fail to meet that figure by driving harshly or, if you're super-careful,
possible to beat that figure by a long way.
How far?
Well as Glenn Williams from California proved last week, with some really light-footed driving
it's possible to get that 60 kilowatt-hour Bolt EV pack to drive more than 300 miles
on a single charge and still have a decent number of miles to spare.
Well done Glenn, and I guess the challenge has now been set.
How long before we see 350?
Let us know in the Comments below…
Well that's it, and you're going to have to wait until next week for more Transport
Evolved news -- but before I go I have a little correction from last week's show to make
on our story about the Lucid Air.
Last week I incorrectly noted that the air launched at CES - when in fact it debuted
a little before that in December.
Also, Edna, Lucid's development van is a Metris not a Sprinter, and the price point,
I've been reliably informed, will start at around $100,000 before incentives at launch,
dropping to about $65,000 for future models.
The $160,000 figure I'd seen?
Apparently that's a common misconception, so thanks to lucid for reaching out and sorry
for the confusion.
Now it really is the end of the show, don't forget to like, comment and subscribe to the

Yoga Flow for complete beginners 10 minute home yoga workout. Yoga Practice - 40 Yoga Pose Sequence. - Duration: 12:06.
And the show must go on. When you are
practicing hatha yoga and you need to pick
the yoga poses for you it can be a little
bit tricky and sometimes we get lazy
and think: "Today I have the soft and
fragile method and go with the flow"
We kind of start picking out
the easiest poses. They are great. They
are to be enjoyed,
but when we need to get in shape FAST
it is good to have the flow yoga or
prostration yoga. What is flow yoga or
prostration yoga? A lot of people know
sun salutation (surya namaskar) or
moon saulation (chandra namaskar) - this is the short
version of the flow yoga
Today I will offer
the longer complex of exercises
very good before the 30 day challenge if you want
to be fit in the new year or whenever you
need to get back in shape. You can repeat
it once today or one turn at a time
but whenever you feel stronger I advise
you grow the times of the practice.
Lower in the description section of
the video you will find many variations
Get ready for the prostration yoga with
me Yogini Rasa and we will practice it a
very harmonious, very slowly and with
time of course you can speed it up if you
feel like doing so. Grab a mat
get yourself ready and let's do it.
There we go
take a deep breath in. We'll go quiet
fast, no worries. You will learn very fast
with a few times. Your body will tell you
what to do next.
Let's take one more deep breath in
and with the stretch upwards and slightly
backwards if you feel like doing so
it's not then just up and now go full
bend forward
Let's bring the left foot back. Stretch. And the right foot.
Plank pose. Hold it. Lower the knees.
Sit back on your knees. Bring the hands to the head.
Straighten the legs. Half shoulder stand. Very good pose.
Lower down , bend the knees and and get ready to

Bring feet to palms. Rock and roll backwards.
Very nice movement. You rock!
Move legs to left and right. And roll forward. GOOD! Knees bent. Opposite foot and palm touch.
Switch. And now straighten the knees and again opposite palm-foot touch
Go down and stand upright.
We have finished the first turn with left leg.
Let's do it with the right leg.
Notice your breathing
Don't adjust. It will adjust itself
Take deep breath in
stretch either only up or also slightly backwards.
Get ready to go down forward.
Now it's the right foot going back. Stretch
and the left one joining. Plank. Hold. Lower the knees.
Lower the head. Embrace your head.
Straighten the knees.

Slide and stop. Pelvis goes right and left.
Slide completely forward and now you can bend the knees.
Look to right and move knees and left.
Straighten up - downward facing dog.
Bring your bent legs (right and left) to the palms - get ready for resting hero
Lean backwards. As much as your legs and body allow you.
Love yourself. Doesn't matter how
low or high.
It's PERFECT where you are!
Just enjoy
Try to put forehead on the floor. Put palms at the knees and straighten the legs.
Bring feet to the palms. Let's rock and roll backward. Move the legs to right and left.
then you're like going forward they can
Roll forward again to get on feet. Knees are bent. Opposite foot-palm touch. Switch
Straighten the knees. Again opposite foot-palm touch.
Going completely down and moving up. Perfect! Both legs have worked.
Once again repeat starting with the left leg
We have made it to half-way.
Inhale the smile. Inhale the sun. stretch up and backwards (breath)
Go forward. Wherever you go forward

Mansion for sale at bargain price…so why is no one buying? - Duration: 2:30.
mansion on Youngstown's
Northside for sale for
just under 77 -thousand dollars
-- down nearly 20-thousand from
where
it started -- and still no one's
buying it.
Which got us wondering -- why
not? And what's the future for
the rest of
neighborhood -- once the homes
of the city's most wealthy.
Saving the house and the
neighborhood is new at 11.
[C3]20170217 WICK MANSION 27-SG
[C4]20170217 WICK MANSION 27-PK
The mansion at 260 Tod Lane
faces Crandall Park -- the
peeling paint and
weathered look of the front
porch indicative of how much
works needs to be done.
"FORMAL DINING ROOM, FOYER, THEN
YOU'D HAVE YOUR LIVING ROOM
OVER THERE." Harold Penwell of
Western Reserve Realty Group is
listing the house -- built in
1918 by the Wicks -- and later
sold to the Hirshbergs and the
Hartzells -- all prominent
Youngstown names.
"OVER IN THE CORNER IS A SHOE
RACK LOOK HOW HUGE IT IS."
Penwell showed me the women's
and men's dressing areas -- both
big enough to
be bedrooms themselves. That's
an old tie rack. He pointed out
the marble
and woodwork -- all handcrafted
and original. The downstairs
bath has the original fixtures
-- the servant's quarters the
original appliances -- and in
the basement
is the original boiler. Check
out the size of that thing.
"THE AMERICAN RADIATOR COMPANY
OF CHICAGO."
Penwell has shown the house to
60 people -- and even at
76-thousand-900
dollars no one wants it. It
needs a lot work -- which means
a loan to both buy it -- and fix
it.
"IF THE HOUSE IS GOING FOR 80
THOUSAND AND THE HOUSE NEEDS
60-THOUSAND DOLLAR IN REPAIRS
YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO QUALIFY
FOR A 140-THOUSAND DOLLAR LOAN
INSTEAD OF AN 80 THOUSAN
DOLLAR LOAN AND A LOT OF PEOPLE
CAN'T DO THAT."
"IT'S JUST A VERY SMALL NICHE OF
PEOPLE THAT CAN TAKE ON A
PROJECT LIKE THAT." Ian
Beniston runs the Youngstown
Neighborhood Development
Corporation. He's keenly aware
of the
importance of Youngstown's
Northside mansions.
"THEY'RE HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL
SIGNIFICANCE AND
THEN THE FACT THEY'RE ON A MAJOR
CORRIDOR AND EVEN THE
ONES THAT LINE CRANDALL PARK OR
WICK PARK, THEY'RE VERY
PROMINENT IN THEIR LOCATION.
THEY'RE HIGHLY VISIBLE. SO
PRESERVING THEM IS IMPORTANT TO
THE CITY."
All the houses on Fifth Avenue
north of Crandall Park are in
good shape. And then
there's the one on Tod Lane --
so stately but so unwanted.
260 Tod Lane has been on the
market for about a year. Harold
Penwell told me
anyone buying it would most
likely have to put minimum
60-thousand dollars into it
-- just to make the house
livable.
