Dreamtek Technology EV Podcast – CleanCar

Tom Blades at DreamTek has interviewed Alex Baker CEO of CleanCar.io on their “Dreamtek technology podcast”.

In this Podcast, Alex will be explaining what CleanCar is and how the system works. Alex will also be explaining what CleanCar’s aims are for their customers. The CleanCar system Data is used to show drivers a few things such as;

  • If the driver is suited to an Electric vehicle,
  • Which Electric Vehicle would they benefit from driving
  • If the driver did make the EV switch, would the driver see any cost savings?

There is so much more to find out…

 

 

We want you to know CleanCar is risk free.

Electric vehicle technology is certainly growing and having fleet solutions to help you is one less thing to worry about. Why not change your Fleet to an Electric Fleet? There is such a variety of EV cars. The benefits of Electric cars is something you will find out once you have made the switch. You never know, making the switch could save the business and yourself a lot of money. So why not find out?

Tom Blades –

“Hello technology fans my name’s Tom blades and I’m from Dreamtek and welcome to the Dreamtek technology podcast where each week I’ll be talking to a special guest from all four corners of the technology world our aim is to bring you the people behind the technology and to delve deep into the newest innovations and trends at the heart is Dreamtek a technology company that specializes in high-tech systems integration and beautiful video production not to mention a little sprinkling of live streaming big events around the globe if you have a technology broadcasting or video production to crack then why not give us a shout at info@dreamtek.tv, seen on the screen now or check out our website at dreamtek.tv. This week I’m lucky enough to be joined by CEO of CleanCar.io Alex Baker.”

 

 

Alex Baker –

“Hello, Tom.” 

 

Tom Blades –

“So, we’re gonna be talking a little bit about CleanCar. Now CleanCar to me sounds a lot like it’s about emissions am I right?”

 

 

Alex Baker –

“Absolutely yes, so the UK government and many other governments are on a on a mission to try and cut emissions in our cities the research shows that there is no safe level of emissions. It’s causing all sorts of health problems the issue that you have today is there was a lot of transport located or focus on a lot of areas in the city and that’s creating health problems from from poor air quality. One of the solutions to that is to get more electric vehicles replace internal combustion engine vehicles with electric vehicles. Ultimately that’s what CleanCar does you know it is a solution that helps to speed up the adoption of electric vehicles for fleets and for consumers.”

 

 

Tom Blades –

“Yes an enabler”

 

 

Alex Baker –

“Absolutely, yeah”Tom blades – “Yeah, so we can’t lie we have met each other before and so what is Dreamtek’s involvement in CleanCar? What’s the journey been like from from kind of day dot all the way to where now.”

 

 

Alex Baker –

“So, Dreamtek you’ve been involved in CleanCar really forums from day dot.”Dreamtek have built the majority of a technology you know it’s being kind of my vision initially working with the team around Dreamtek you know designers or developers you know the database administrators so on and so forth to actually build the solution and and you know without having you know a DreamTek and the Virtual Forge Team around you know we wouldn’t be where we are today you know we are sister companies at one another you know and it’s been a it’s been a very interesting journey it’s been a great journey clearly was a bit ups and downs it’s technology you know we’re doing things nobody had done has done before.”

 

 

Tom Blades –

“Okay and so it’s very very complex as I’ve told me before but can you give me kind of a high-level grassroots kind of explanation of what CleanCar is and what it aims to do with it’s customers.”

 

 

Alex Baker –

“Well CleanCar’s complex behind the scenes but I think really whenever you’re delivering a solution it needs to be simple it often is very complex we’re done behind the scenes. CleanCar really can be can simply summed up, I don’t I suppose the elevator pitch is you know what we do is we take a small device like this and we can distribute that via fleet or directly to a consumer we also have an ID an Android and iPhone app as well and what you do is you place the device in your vehicle and you drive about as normal and all the time data has been sent to the CleanCar System and we’re running and flip that data for a number of different algorithms. The main thing that we’re able to then do is say number one is that driver suited to an electric vehicle we can then also say of the electric vehicles they are suited to which potentially would be best suited to their requirements and as well as that we’re also able to say if you were to replace a like-for-like internal combustion engine you know the kind of vehicle you’re driving around with in today with a an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle will you actually see any cost savings.We’re focusing on what’s called whole life cost or total cost of ownership the final piece of a jigsaw and this works quickly while we fleets you know if we’re looking at the fleet and there say you know I have a hundred vehicles they might be replacing thirty of them with electric were then able to say how many charge points two they need where should they put those charge points and what is the ideal mix of charge points you know what kind of killer what charges should they install so really what it enables is somebody to make a very quick decision completely risk-free you know they know that they’re going into it you know doctor electric vehicle but they doing it with their eyes wide open”

 

 

Tom Blades  –

“mmm… that’s really interesting so before we get into whether I’m suitable for an electric vehicle and my background is very much automotive, you know I started off with a motor manufacturer when I was 17 years old mostly around sort of gas guzzling rally cars but then went into very much the sort of development of networks and so on to sell vehicles and so on and I also was very lucky enough this year to go to Portugal to the launch of the new Ipace for Jaguar.”

 

 

Alex Baker –

“Lucky you.”

 

Tom Blades –

“Yeah I know exactly… it was very cold which was very random to see kind of where we’re at you know right at the coalface of this beautiful car that kind of encapsulated technology but also encapsulates the style of what is a very much heritage name and a heritage brand so I think we’re quite far along but from somebody on the inside of the industry like yourself what is the state of the the EV  market?”

 

 

Alex Baker –

“So, I don’t think the industry has done itself any favors up to this point. You know there has been some very strange vehicles I know you started to move ugly I would say yes yeah not necessary ugly but kind of Noddy cars I’ve heard people describe you know these days for cars really look a lot better they’ve got a much better range as in they’ll go a lot further and practicality wise they are as practical as as any other vehicle that’s out there certainly you know one of the things I hear a lot from people who drive electric vehicles is there a lot more fun to drive as well you know they are very very quick we were talking earlier about the P P 100 D test.”

 

 

Tom Blades –

“Oh yeah of course that’s an absolute yeah yeah yeah yeah.”

 

 

Alex Baker –

“That’s an absolute monster of a car to drive, the industry needs to do more you know when you look at the stats you know certainly we’re in our database there’s about 20,000 available variants on the market today vehicles.”

 

 

Tom Blades –

“Wow, that’s a lot more than I expected or twenty.”

 

 

Alex Baker –

“There’s 20,000 available total vehicles only point seven percent of all of those vehicles available electric and around about two percent are hybrid plug-in hybrids so on and so when you actually look at the percentages are available on the market was not a lot to choose from.”

 

 

Tom Blades –

“Yeah and I think that’s it really I mean I remember doing an interview with some of the people within the network of the manufacturer I used to work for and they were screaming for a normal vehicle with an electric variant either you know or motor a very attached to it instead of these kind of newer shaped or kind of moon buggy style as you mentioned so I do want identify with that I mean again. I don’t identify with the facts as well.”
