CHARGE+ZONE unveils 360KW SuperCharging Station

EV charging company Charge+Zone has launched SuperCharging Network, offering EV charging solutions.

The first stations will be operational in Mumbai and CCD, Vellore, in November 2023, and will have amenities such as washrooms, restaurants, and shopping facilities.

The stations are equipped with 180 KW dual gun chargers and 360 KW power cabinets, with four guns delivering 60 KW each at 200 Amp and one gun delivering 500 A (DC) current with liquid cooling. These superchargers convert alternating current to direct current, supplying high-power DC voltage and current to EV batteries for swift charging.

Google introduces “Notes”

Google has launched a new experiment called Notes, allowing users to view and share tips alongside search results. The experiment is being released through Google’s Search Labs, which offers early previews of experimental features for users to test new capabilities not yet widely available.

The Labs experiment aims to offer tips from experts and everyday people about articles or topics, helping users narrow down relevant information and learn from previous experiences. Users can access helpful tips by tapping the “Notes” button below search results in the Google app or on articles on Discover.

They can also create notes to share their experience with a helpful page, using elements like text, stickers, and photos, and choosing from different visual styles to make their note feel unique.

Google has previously conducted search experiments through Labs, including its conversational AI assistant, Bard.
