This is a living notebook of my curiosities. A place to gather what moves me: discoveries, experiments, stories, still unfinished thoughts. Not a destination, but a map still being drawn. Alongside these reflections, you’ll also find insights, lessons, and practical ideas I’ve picked up along the way—pieces of experience I’m happy to share.
PS: The articles are sometimes only in Estonian – Google Translate is an option, but it can also lead you far from the truth!
When people ask me about electric vehicles, I usually smile and say, “It’s not just driving. It’s a full-blown lifestyle change… with a tiny sprinkle of panic and a whole lot of geeky excitement.”
I want to share with you a subject which Im dealing once and a while when hiking – the art of layering. My recent journeys through the breathtaking mid-land fjords of Norway, where the sea seems to embrace the mountains, have not only been a feast for the eyes but also a lesson in smart clothing choices.
Choosing the right sleeping system isn’t just about weight or weather - it’s also how your gear reflects your values. Here’s a practical and personal look at down vs synthetic insulation from a minimalist, conscious travel perspective.
Electric cars aren’t just the future — they’re part of the now. This article dives into 5 honest, human-centered reasons why choosing an EV matters more than ever today.
As the European Union intensifies its push toward electrified transport, the development of a smart, scalable EV charging infrastructure becomes not only a technical challenge but a business opportunity and societal mission.
EV battery life isn’t guesswork—it’s science. Discover how degradation really works, how to calculate it, and why your charging habits matter more than you think.
Electric vehicles are here to stay. Forward-thinking property developers and building managers are now investing in smart, scalable EV charging infrastructure to meet growing demand and boost long-term property value.
One of the most critical factors in electric vehicle (EV) adoption is charging speed. While most EV owners are familiar with terms like fast charging, DC charging, and ultra-fast charging, a more technical term often appears in discussions about battery technology: 5C charging.
If you love the outdoors, you know that quality gear is an investment. Whether you’re hiking through misty Nordic landscapes, sailing across open waters, or setting up camp under the stars, your equipment is more than just stuff - it’s an extension of your adventures. But how often do we think about caring for it properly?
Whether your building is located in a busy city, a logistics hub, or along a popular transit route, hosting your own fast charger can bring both immediate value and long-term strategic advantages.
A recent study by Recurrent Auto — a company that specializes in EV battery analytics — looked into this. The results might surprise you.
Long-range EV batteries get all the attention, but here’s the reality: Average daily drive in Europe? ~19 km. Most charging? 80% happens at home. Do we really need 1,000 km batteries, or is it time to focus on affordable, lightweight designs that meet real-world needs?
As we transition from traditional fueling methods to electrification, it's natural to encounter challenges and imperfections. However, these experiences pave the way for innovative solutions that enhance our daily lives and contribute to a sustainable future.
The simplest way to charge an electric car using your home’s rooftop solar panels is to plug the car into your home’s EV charger during the day when the sun is shining. But, is that the actual reality?
As global environmental issues intensify, each of us can contribute to positive change. But climate goals often feel ambitious, costly, and disruptive, leaving us wondering: in a world of over 7 billion people, how much can one small change in my lifestyle really matter?
Smarter, Greener, and More Essential Than Ever- electric vehicles aren’t just reshaping transportation; they’re revolutionizing how we think about energy and infrastructure. From driving business growth to stabilizing the grid, EV charging is quietly transforming our world.
Electric vehicles have been a hot topic for several years, and discussions are only intensifying amid the green transition and energy crisis. Climate and environmental concerns are pressing, with fears of irreversible damage. With transportation accounting for 30% of emissions, vast resources are being invested in EV development. But the question remains: are EVs truly green enough to help prevent dangerous climate change?
A while back, I saw a comment in a car group online that got my attention: “Electric cars aren’t practical because you can’t tow with them.” Lets test this!
I took the Cupra Born on a 500 km journey to see if it truly stands apart from its VW ID.3 roots. With bold design touches, solid performance, and unique features, Born feels like it's from another world. But does it really offer more? Find out here!
Host Hando Sinisalu's guests on the podcast were Kudres Lääts, Head of Sales and Development and founder of Vonktech - a vision Kudres initiated during the Electric Marathon rally in Belarus.
This time, I set out on a journey with not one but two electric vehicles. Why, you ask? To take on the challenge of managing and charging two EVs simultaneously—the Nissan Leaf and Renault Zoe. What could possibly go wrong?
With the global move to reduce dependency on Russian fuel could actually give electric mobility a boost as Western governments are working to accelerate the shift to renewable energy, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
In the world of electric vehicle reviews, it seems “Tesla killer” is one of the most common phrases. Yet, so far, no EV has managed to dethrone Tesla in my view. But could the latest Mercedes EQC actually pose a challenge?
The IONIQ 5 is inspired by Hyundai’s Concept 45 EV, and, thankfully, it didn’t lose much of its character in the transition from concept to production.
Even as I set out to complete a 500 km loop, covering stops in Tartu, Viljandi, and Pärnu, the excitement didn’t fade. This is my favorite EV on the market by far.
If you’re looking for an EV that balances cost, range, and a hint of fun, the Kona’s a worthy choice, whether you’re commuting solo or taking it for an occasional adventure trip.
Volkswagen’s ID.3 lineup starts with a 55 kWh (gross) and 45 kWh (net) battery and goes up to an 82 kWh (gross) and 77 kWh (net) version, offering a solid range of 450 km on the higher-end models.
Arriving at Tikupoiss with 8% battery left, I plugged in the car and got a small scare when the charger suddenly stopped. For this route, a quick 20-minute coffee break would have provided more than enough charge to make it home.
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all EV charging point solution. Picking the right charger type can affect your user experience, charging time, and be much more expensive than you expected.
The vehicle came equipped with three driving modes: Eco, Normal, and Power. It was not entirely clear what changed between them, but it didn’t matter much since the car never failed during overtaking.
Viking Motors korraldas möödunud nädala kolmapäeval ca 220 km proovisõidupäeva, mille käigus sai testida erinevate tootjate sama mudeli elektri- ja bensiini/diiselautosid.
Inchcape gave me the opportunity to try out how it is to cover longer distances with a car that has a small battery capacity. We start the journey with a shorter range than in previous weeks because the Mazda MX-30 has only a 35 kWh battery, of which about 30 kWh is usable. The first impression: the battery is at 100%, and the range is 156 km, but we need to cover 500 km today! We don't know how long this day will be!
Exploring the world of electric vehicles in Estonia, a small country where the newest models usually arrive last. Let's drive the emission-free Kia eNiro and experience a future that arrives as late as a warm summer to my country.
Today, the world of electric cars is no longer unfamiliar to me: I have traveled thousands of kilometers across various European, Russian, Belarusian, and Ukrainian roads in an electric car. My journey into the EV world began right at the start of this path.
I’m exploring what moves me – whether through building solutions, capturing the world with my camera, or walking unknown paths. I’m not chasing the future; I’m shaping it by staying curious, reflective, and open to what’s next.
