Very impressive. Thanks for the reference. It would be fun to have around my acre just for grandkids etc. America really needs to have special regulations that allow these in appropriate areas. They would be safer than bicycles.

As of now, India is Power surplus and a lot of the Thermal Power units are under-utilized. One of the issues related to access was due to Subsidies. Electricity is subsidised significantly to the Consumers and this affects the Financial health of Power distributors, due to delay from the Government to pay back the subsidy to the Distribution companies.

Also, Share of Renewables are increasing as well. It was close to 12-13% by Consumption and this does not include Hydro.

And the massive Blackout which was posted earlier in this thread was due to Grid failure and it did not happen again, for the last 5 years.
