The digital twin project envisions the infrastructure transformation of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region by 2025 through an immersive experience

MUMBAI, India, Feb. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Department of Tourism, the Government of Maharashtra, and the Tech Entrepreneurs Association of Mumbai (TEAM) signed an MoU in June 2023 for the groundbreaking ‘Mumbai Megapolis Metaverse’, to showcase ongoing infrastructure developments and envision the transformation of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) by 2025 through a digital twin project. The project is now all set to be officially launched at the Mumbai Tech Week on Sunday, February 18, 2024, in the presence of the Hon. Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri. Devendra Fadnavis.

Led by Shri. Devendra Fadnavis as he constructs his Maharashtra@75 vision, the Mumbai Megapolis Metaverse is an ambitious endeavour that utilizes cutting-edge technology to create a virtual representation of Mumbai in the metaverse, and is a first-of-its-kind initiative revolutionising urban governance and citizen engagement in the country. This immersive experience will provide citizens with a glimpse into the future of the city, showcasing ongoing infrastructure developments and envisioning the transformation of MMR by 2025; for which, 12 infra projects have been identified. The project also envisages providing important information to citizens on the tech, cost, environmental, and other factors, thus educating them largely on the efforts done to build long-term sustainable infrastructure.

The MMR is currently undergoing its biggest transformation, including the Mumbai Coastal Road that connects Marine Lines in south Mumbai to Kandivali in northern Mumbai; the first and only fully underground metro system in Mumbai – Mumbai Metro Line 3, running between Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ; the just launched Mumbai Trans Harbour Link that has made Mumbai closer to the satellite city of Navi Mumbai; and the Navi Mumbai International Airport. The Mumbai Megapolis Metaverse offers the citizens an opportunity to experience all of these developments through an immersive virtual representation. These infra projects will go live during the Mumbai Tech Week and will be accessible to the citizens through virtual reality (VR) devices across locations, a dedicated mobile app, and website, and the official Maharashtra tourism website.

Mumbai Tech Week (MTW) is a not-for-profit initiative, and will be held between Feb 18-23, 2024, to recognise and celebrate the city’s thriving tech ecosystem through various formats. Organised by the Tech Entrepreneurs Association of Mumbai (TEAM), MTW will see 46 tech companies join forces to host a first-of-its-kind collaboration of Mumbai’s tech community. The Mumbai Megapolis Metaverse will be unveiled at the MTW launch event on Sunday, Feb 18 at the Jio World Convention Center, BKC, Mumbai.

By

The Level 2 smart EV charger offers intuitive AI-enabled guidance and introduces a complete home EV management system for households with multiple EVs

NOVI, Mich., Jan. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Danlaw, Inc., a global leader in connected car technology and automotive electronics, has announced the CleverCharge Level 2 home EV charging system at CES Unveiled 2025. CleverCharge is an easy-to-use EV charger with advanced features delivered via the patent-pending CleverKey, an OBD-II plug-in device that provides personalized experiences for EV owners.

 

CleverCharge, a CES 2025 Innovation Awards Honoree in the Smart Home category, is a simple yet sophisticated EV charge-management platform built for households with multiple EVs. Offering features unmatched by competing home EV chargers, CleverCharge empowers users to do more than ever before:

The system’s AI assistant learns your daily driving routines and provides proactive reminders that ensure you always have enough battery range for the day ahead.Mobile notifications provide guidance on the best times to charge when energy rates are at their lowest and allow you to schedule charging in the app.The mobile app dashboard displays vehicle battery range in both miles and kilowatt-hours, providing clarity on the vehicle’s range, remaining charging time, and battery health.

“CleverCharge eliminates range anxiety and ensures your EV is ready for the next day’s routine,” said Scott Bolt, Chief Strategy Officer at Danlaw. “We designed it to not only be the easiest home EV charger to install and use, but also the most powerful in terms of its capabilities.”

CleverKey: A Plug-In Device That Provides Deep EV Intelligence

The secret to the powerful CleverCharge system is the CleverKey, a patent-pending device that unlocks vehicle data via the OBD-II port.

CleverCharge uses vehicle data gathered by CleverKey and charging data to power AI-enhanced features such as plug-in reminders, scheduled charging, battery health, estimated charge time, and cost per charge for each EV in the home. 

Once an EV is connected and CleverKey is plugged in, CleverCharge automatically recognizes the make and model of the EV and creates an individual profile for every vehicle. When an EV owner installs multiple CleverCharge units at different locations – such as a summer home or winter lodge – the app will automatically organize each charger and EV based on its location.
