This website started as a way to document my road trips. My last road trip was in February 2025 to Bandhavgarh National Park and I had been itching to go on the road again. Fortunately, two days ago, I drove down from New Delhi to Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh. This is second time I was driving on this particular route. You can read about my

A trip to Bandhavgarh National Park!

What began as an ambitious plan to drive 860 kilometers from my home in New Delhi to Bandhavgarh National Park in a single day morphed into one of my longest and most memorable road trips. Covering this distance in my electric vehicle (EV) was made conceivable by three stellar expressways: Yamuna Expressway, Agra Lucknow Expressway, and Bundelkhand Expr…

I always manage to get some experience of the Delhi winters : a) The bad air quality ensures that I get several calls from clients during these months. Read more about my work here. b) I love the winter season and sadly Mumbai has none.

Typically Bjørn does a 1000km ride in under 10 hours in Norway. However, it took me two days to cover this distance from Mumbai to Bengaluru, while driving alone.

Mumbai - Indore - Bhopal and back!

Hello to all new readers, thanks to Noise Faktory’s video and our new Twitter and Instagram family. Late July, I decided to take a trip to Bhopal in my MG. I encountered a charger that tripped, rectified it. Made a lot of friends with cattle on the road in MP and camped overnight near Statiq’s charger with the AC on.

Parents take the car for a short trip!

Last weekend, my parents decided to spend some time in and around Igatpuri. After my pretty safe and sound road trip a couple of weeks ago, they were pretty convinced that they can take the EV for this journey. With that being decided a week in advance, I had enough time to ‘train’ them for EV journeys. They had enough confidence to drive in the city, b…

Mumbai - Kalaburagi - Mumbai

It has been a crazy ride. I just got the car delivered a couple of days ago, and coincidentally I had some work in Kalaburagi, Karnataka. Kalaburagi, also known as Gulbarga, is roughly 550-600 kms away from Mumbai and it is a perfect amount of distance one can travel in a day, in an electric vehicle. Or can they go more?
