#143 InMotion: electric racing cars
Meet Julia Niemeijer, the team manager of the student team InMotion from the University of Technology in Eindhoven. The team started eleven years ago in Utrecht.
Three students built a biofuel Formula 3 race car as an end project for their studies by combining their interests in sustainability and racing. Afterward, they moved to Eindhoven and made the decision to focus on electric driving because, in their opinion, that would be the future. We built a fully electric Formula 3 race car, the Fusion, and a mock-up, the Vision.
Afterward, we built the Revolution, which you can see in the video. The Revolution is a fully electric LMP3 race car that can charge in 12 minutes (with the same capacity as the Tesla Model 3).
We would like to develop Electric Refueling, which means that you can charge an electric car as fast as refueling a petrol-powered car. For us, it is important to inspire students, organizations, and society with our unique race car to accelerate the energy transition in the automotive industry.

#139 Solar Advisory Service for Citizens
These days lots of people want to install solar panels on their rooftops. They need guidance as they don't know how to do it. Moreover, there are not enough people around to advise them. So the city of Herrenberg and the leader of the environment department, Thomas Kleiser, had an idea why not find volunteers and train them to become solar advisers for citizens?
These solar advisors are now able to advise many citizens about solar installations on their particular rooftops. This way the number of solar installations on the rooftops in the city of Herrenberg (and in many other cities in Germany) can be accelerated significantly.
