🚗💡 Micromobility: Driving the EV Revolution in Bangladesh Bloomberg has highlighted how micromobility is leading the EV revolution, and Bangladesh is no exception. With 5 million electric three-wheelers—including rickshaws, mishuks, and easy bikes—organically growing across the country, it’s clear we need to understand the situation to create impactful solutions. If we work closely together, Bangladesh has the potential to lead the EV revolution. At SOLshare, we’re tackling this head-on with our innovative micromobility solutions: ⚡ Smart lithium-ion battery tech 🔋 Consumes 40% less electricity than toxic lead-acid batteries. 🌐 Powers vehicle-to-grid charging, turning grid burdens into assets via AI-driven virtual power plants. These technologies ensure grid stability, reduce peak loads, and empower drivers by improving livelihoods and sustainability. 💬 The conversation on banning electric rickshaws ignores the bigger picture—these vehicles are an evolutionary step for drivers, helping them transition to dignified, less labor-intensive livelihoods. Let’s focus on inclusive policies that prioritize safety, legal frameworks, and sustainable growth for this vital sector. Let’s shape a future where no one is left behind. 🌍 📖 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gRBcUQUk #SOLshare #Micromobility #EVRevolution #SolarEnergy #SustainableFuture #InclusivePolicy

🌍 COP29 in Baku: Are We Missing the Point? As COP29 gathers world leaders in Baku to discuss urgent climate action, the disruptions to millions of local lives raise a critical question: Are we truly building a sustainable future if it comes at the expense of the very people we aim to uplift? From sidelined vendors to workers losing livelihoods, the summit reveals a hard truth: we risk repeating past mistakes if we prioritize optics over inclusivity. The COVID-19 pandemic taught us the importance of resilient, community-focused systems, yet here we are, disrupting lives instead of empowering them. At SOLshare, we champion solutions that tackle climate change without leaving communities behind. Our innovative tech solutions are proof that sustainable progress can uplift lives, create livelihoods, and strengthen local economies. Let’s ensure that climate action doesn’t just look good on the global stage but also transforms lives on the ground. A sustainable future is one where no one is left behind. 🌞 Join us in shaping a truly inclusive energy revolution. 📖 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gEFHzVKa #SOLshare #COP29 #ClimateJustice #Sustainability #LessonsFromCovid #EmpoweringCommunities #CleanEnergy
