Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Too Late ? As always !



In my blog ( 21 April 2017 ) , I had suggested setting up at the Centre , a Minister in charge of Technology Evaluation and Acquisition








In that blog ( sent as E Mail to Central Ministers ) , I had recommended investigating / evaluating , some 11 / 12 technologies , which are under development in different parts of the World and which could provide solutions to some of our very pressing NATIONAL PROBLEMS



One of these listed by me was :


Rapid charging ( within 5 minutes )  Lithium Ion Batteries used in Electric Cars ( current batteries take 5 / 7 hours for full charging ! ) , under development by an Israeli Start Up called “  StoreDot  “



Unfortunately , in my email , I forgot to provide the following address of  StoreDot :


( StoreDot Ltd. I 3 Shenkar St. Herzeliya I Israel 4672503 / Call Us: +972 3 5097710
Fax: +972 9 7677937 I Email: info@store-dot.com )





Today’s DNA ( 18 Sept ) carries a report titled :



Daimler enters super-fast battery charging tech



and that’s why Daimler is investing in Israeli start up  StoreDot , which is a company working on ground breaking developments in electric vehicle battery technology ….



But as ranges of over 300 miles are now being achieved by the likes of TESLA , it seems the emphasis might be shifting to charging times .



And that’s where  StoreDot  comes in because it’s working on developing a way an electric vehicle can be fully recharged in as little as  FIVE MINUTES




Will we find ourselves “ too late “ also for those other 10 technologies recommended by me for evaluation ?



When will learn to do “ Business @ the Speed of Thought “ , advocated by Bill Gates , many years back ?
