3. Customized topicals:

I use a personalized Rx formula based on my genetics to prevent and reverse hair loss. Roots byGA (5)

Here are the ingredients in my formulation: Minoxidil (7%), Cetirizine HCl (1%), Latanoprost (0.004%), Dutasteride (0.25%), Melatonin (0.1%), Caffeine (0.2%), Tretinoin (0.0125%), Vitamin D3 (1,000IU/ML), Vitamin E (10 IU/ML).

5% minoxidil is a solid budget alternative. Apply 1 mL to scalp at night or in the morning (or both), massage thoroughly.

Note that some people experience side effects with a topical such as itchy skin, headaches etc. so monitor for those.

@volklub @Xroaders_001 Strong hybrids and PHEVs are different. PHEVs will not gain much traction in India despite all the hype. Strong hybrids will become popular in India post-BS-7. Around 2030, EREVs(series) adoption will start to begin as EV volumes increase, which will help bring EREV costs down.

[Shreesha Mallatheru @shreemallatheru]

@ferrarirules86 @autocarindiamag @autocarpro Vision is good. But problem is that PHEVs don’t really solve problem in the real world; they only make sense in theory. PHEVs are for buyers who can plug in. If you’re driving 80+ km a day, you need to plug in almost every day to stay in electric mode;

[Xroaders @Xroaders_001]

🫵🏻 I am talking logic here. These “muh chhup ke”, “bambu” type arguments don’t work when the discussion is based on sensible logic, Paje. 😄

🏷️ Fact 1: That’s your perspective, and I don’t want to remotely contest that. There will always be people who don’t like this technology, make assumptions, or have fears that may not necessarily be logical.

I am not even going there. Everyone has their own way of leading life, and everyone makes their own informed decisions.

If someone doesn’t like charging he or she ,should opt for an : Pure Ice or Hev that’s the bottomline

🏷️ Fact 2: There are people doing proper highway trips with their families in EVs with 50 kWh battery packs, so I am talking about facts, not fiction, in any form. And they are doing it without any major issue.

Now, coming back to the original post 👇🏻

👉🏻 You’re again not understanding the context of the post.

If someone is specifically planning to buy a PHEV over an EV, IMO that is a poor decision, because a PHEV offers no meaningful advantage over an EV for someone who already has the ability to charge at home.

I repeat:

👉🏻 Both need a home-charging setup.

👉🏻 If someone is already willing to install/use home charging, then why go for a PHEV? Why not simply opt for an EV if charging is already part of the routine? 😂

👉🏻 Even with a PHEV, you need to charge the battery to make proper use of its EV capability. Without charging, it essentially becomes a petrol car carrying an additional battery, motor and associated hardware.

👉🏻 Then why crib about getting only 90–100 km in EV mode from a PHEV? That is literally the purpose of having the battery charged.

👉🏻 Don’t charge the PHEV, and you’re essentially driving an ICE vehicle — while carrying around all the extra complexity and weight.

👉🏻 Why take the dual headache of petrol + EV systems when a pure EV can do the job for someone who has charging access?

👉🏻 PHEVs are generally more expensive than comparable EVs and are mechanically/electronically more complex.

👉🏻 And yes, I would strongly urge people to read worldwide long-term reviews and ownership experiences of PHEVs before assuming they are the perfect middle ground.

🏷️ Currently, in India, we have enough data and real-world experience with HEVs and EVs. We simply don’t have the same depth of long-term PHEV ownership data yet.

So, for someone who has the ability to charge at home and is ready to adopt an EV, personally, I would not recommend choosing a PHEV.

It’s pretty simple for me:

⚡️ PHEV vs EV → EV any day

⛽️⚡️ PHEV vs HEV → HEV any day

⛽️ PHEV vs ICE Petrol → I would still prefer an HEV over a PHEV

🏷️ And when it comes to existing diesel buyers, whether they eventually shift towards PHEVs or HEVs is something only time will tell.

This 69.2kWh is a widely used pack in Wuling/Saic cars and all have 20min DC charging for 30-80%. Just India they have dropped the speeds.

There's a chance VCU/inverter etc have been changed to lower the cost & along with them giving 15yr warranty on battery so they are preserving it the max

[Throttle and Tech @throttleandtech]

Don't buy an AWD spec if you don't plan to do dedicated off roading events and trails. It's additional 100 kg tech that you will not use 99% of times. It's like carrying an extra person in the car all the time. Bad for efficiency and performance.

[Shreesha Mallatheru @shreemallatheru]

@20_1NM @MrBsCoffee30 I'm sure this will set some benchmarks for monocoque SUVs with such high GC, especially since they’ve lightened chassis and given it a wider track and longer wheelbase. I’m really excited to see this car. I’m not a huge fan of Mahindra cars, but this one, I'm really interested.

[Shreesha Mallatheru @shreemallatheru]

@prasanthgupta Tata’s biggest advantage is ecosystem, now they’re starting to leverage it. Really big one for them is going to be Agratas. That vertical integration is needed for them to make EVs more affordable & better match supply with demand. By 2030 All Tata cars should be with Agratas LFP

@ferrarirules86 @lordofequities @evelectree @Xroaders_001 @TeslaClubIN @EVZindabad @adityalala2000 @VahanWarta @AsheeshAroraEV @GreenDrvIndia @shyampsunder Atkinson cycle engines achieve peak efficiency only within a narrow, moderate-RPM sweet spot. When forced to run continuously at 4,000-5,000+ RPM under full load to generate electricity, Forces engine out of its efficient Atkinson cycle band, causing real-world FE to drop sharply

[Shreesha Mallatheru @shreemallatheru]

@shyampsunder @prasanthgupta @evelectree @ferrarirules86 @Xroaders_001 @TeslaClubIN @EVZindabad @adityalala2000 @VahanWarta @AsheeshAroraEV @GreenDrvIndia Exactly. PHEV, EREV, and EV are essentially targeting the same customer in the Indian market. In markets like the US and China, where people can travel around thousand kilometres on a single trip and average speeds can be 100 km/h+, PHEVs and EREVs make much more sense.

[Shreesha Mallatheru @shreemallatheru]

Unless Hyundai makes the i20 on a new, reinforced K1 platform with a 5-star safety rating, along with a new Hyundai interior and design, and Tata doesn’t give the 1.2 Turbo-petrol as standard to the Altroz, Baleno and Swift will continue to dominate the segment.

[Vahan Warta (वाहन वार्ता ) @VahanWarta]

🚨 Hyundai has laid out a BIG roadmap for India till 2030!

🇮🇳 26 launches & refreshes planned
⚡ New India-focused electric SUV coming in Q4
🚙 A new ICE mid-size SUV also confirmed
🏭 3.2 lakh additional production capacity planned
🔧 90% localisation target by 2030
🌍 Around 30% of India-made vehicles targeted for exports

Hyundai has also mentioned an all-new A-segment SUV EV for India, Genesis expansion in the future, and its electric three-wheeler project with TVS.

The bigger picture? Hyundai is positioning India as far more than just a sales market.
India could become a major hub for Hyundai's future products, manufacturing and exports. 🇮🇳

@20_1NM Yes

@20_1NM Why not Clavis EV and Vinfast Mpv?

[tphuang @tphuang]

Xiaomi's chip reveals yesterday caused quite the stir in China. CCTV even reported it prominently.

Xiaomi achieved quite the gain in performance using same 3nm process. It likely won't have access to anything better due to US sanctions. Achieved this through more powerful CPU, GPU & NPU + just larger die.

Uses MediaTek base band. You can see in Xiaobai's test that its the top SoC from CPU/GB6 scoring PoV. Quite an impressive design.

[tphuang @tphuang]

After Xiaomi XRING-03 became 1st SoC to support LPDDR6 DRAM w/ 10667Mbps speed & 113.8 GB/s band, it was revealed that CXMT is its supplier here.

CXMT's LPDDR6 has designed ceiling of 12800 Mbps, but works at base transmission of 10667 w/ SoC. Single die size 16 Gb & comes in 16 GB chip using 1295 Ball POP packaging.

Again, CXMT prioritising domestic OEMs is critical for China's consumer electronics industry in a time of supply crunch.

@20_1NM Coming with semi active dampers?

[Shreesha Mallatheru @shreemallatheru]

@ferrarirules86 @ADI7YAK @AnshshivanshG @volklub @Xroaders_001 @PulakPrakriti Yeah. LFPs have their own drawbacks, like needing to be charged to 100% every now and then, at least once in a while. No one talks about the weaknesses of LFP, such as the extra weight and lower efficiency.
