Thoughts About Log9

The biggest disadvantage of electric vehicles has always been their charging time. However, it looks like Log9 has been able to solve that issue to a large extent using their patented technology.

Despite having such huge potential in the personal EV segment, the start-up company will be focussing on the commercial segment during the initial stages.
