The drive behind the creation of M Auto

We don’t feel the need to do things according to the “norms”. We invest ourselves into creating big solutions for big problems. With M Auto we brought in a large number of women and transgender drivers. And we have a female leading a fleet of over 50,000 male drivers. There is absolutely no space for gender bias. We only look at opportunities and capabilities everywhere.

All of our vehicles are electric and designed to be in harmony with the environment. The goal was never to be just another EV company. But to be a company that recognizes problems and finds solutions. M Auto doesn’t want a future where we have space for regret of any kind. We are protecting the environment and empowering each and everyone who works with us.

M Auto Electric signs an agreement with PIA for the start of its activities and to start M Auto’s largest electric vehicle manufacturing unit in Africa in PIA Togo with the presence of Hon. Minister of Environment and Forest Resources Mr. Katari Foli-Bazi, Hon. Minister of Road, Rail and Air transport Mr. Affoh Atcha Dedji, Minister of Investment promotion Mme Rose Kayi Mivedo and Minister of Commerce, Industry and Local Consumption Mr. Kodjo Adedze. We have been working on this for the last 1 year and are aiming to employ 50% women. M Auto has already started its training for women mechanics and technicians.

  • M Auto is also aiming to set up the largest battery unit in Africa.
  • M Auto Togo factory will be producing 1000 units of bikes per day, 30,000 units per month and 60,000 units of battery per month.
  • We will be setting up a large dealer network in and around Africa.
  • Our heartfelt thanks to all our vendors and partner.
  • M Auto always believes in social entrepreneurship. Let’s take this vision forward for all the generations to come!

Is India ready for Electric Vehicles?

Well, as of now, the answer to this question is pretty ambiguous. It is both a yes and a no situation.

In 2019, less than 0.5% of all car sales were EVs, however, this might not be a correct indicator of India’s EV preparedness. India sold 69,000 EVs in 2017-2018 and around 143,000 units in 2018-2019. In 2020, India sold about 231,000 EVs. This is a very strong growth rate. Around 97% of all EV sales in India have been two and three-wheelers which again tells you a story.

In this exact present, is India completely prepared for EVs? Probably not. A lot of charging stations, policies, etc. are yet to be implemented. But is transportation in India moving towards a strong electric future? The numbers say a big YES to that.

Electric and Fuel vehicles! A comparison by Mother Nature.

Well, let’s keep monetary aspects aside. What are the environmental aspects of electric vehicles?

Emissions from fuel vehicles are not just bad for the planet, but they’re really bad for our health as well. Air pollutants from gasoline lead to cancer, bronchitis, and even premature death. In fact, one of the primary causes of fine particulate matter pollution is gasoline and pollution from diesel-run car engines.

Even when it comes to carbon footprints, electric vehicles are much more efficient and environmentally friendly. Even when the energy for an electric vehicle comes from the dirtiest grid in the state, it still has a significantly smaller carbon footprint than a fuel vehicle.

Throughout their lifetime, electric vehicles completely outperform fuel vehicles when it comes to emissions and pollution. So if you’re concerned about mother nature, and are wondering what she thinks about electric vehicles, you have your answer.

Four simple ways you can extend the battery life of your EV

Say no to high temperatures – Don’t park in super-hot areas. Especially if your EV has an automatic temperature regulation system, it will needlessly drain your batteries. Always try to park in areas with shade or if you must park it in a hot area, try and plug it in so that the thermal management system only uses grid power instead of your batteries.

Try not to charge up to 100% all the time – Yes, a full charge will give you the maximum operation time, but it might not be the best thing for the overall life span of your batteries. If you can get your daily commute done with a 75-80% charge, don’t charge the car completely.

Fast charging is great? – Fast charging is super convenient. It really is. It can be a lifesaver sometimes. But it also takes a toll on the batteries as it pushes in a lot of current in a very short period and strains the batteries. So standard charge whenever possible. Eight years of standard charging will give you around 10% more battery life compared to eight years of fast charging.

Timed charging is a great option – Don’t leave your EV with 0% or 100% charge. The battery will struggle to keep its state of charge when you’re away. So time the charging in such a way that you’re not leaving your vehicle in a charged state for too long.
