This is a very unique concept to recharge a car and Mahindra calls this concept ‘dance for good’. The video starts with a dancer on floor with a music player in her hand. She starts playing a remix version of popular Hindi song ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ and people immediately react to the song. They soon turn towards the dance floor and watch them dance. It is then they notice the wire that runs from the dance floor and connects to the Formula E car. There are lights in the wire that indicate current flowing into the car.
Another screen on the stage also shows the charging status of the car. Soon people figure out what is happening and they enter the dance floor. Everyone shows off their dancing skills and the energy produced during the process is all sent to the car. We are not sure whether how fast was the car being charged or was it being recharged just by the energy from the dance floor. Soon the battery levels on the car starts to rise. the Red indicators on the display soon started showing green and the colour of the lights on the wires also changed.
The energetic performance of the dancers charged the race car. At the end of the video, the screen inside the cockpit of the race and the rear light also glows.
