Charged up! #EVMoji winner crowned on World EV Day

•             #EVMoji challenge to design the world’s first ever EV emoji brought entries from all over the world

•             Contest put the next generation of EV owners in the driver’s seat, with participants ranging from age 6-16  

•             Winning design to be submitted to Unicode, the consortium that governs official emoji creation

On World EV Day 2021, founders ABB and Green.TV are calling on the Unicode Consortium to recognize the need for an electric vehicle emoji. 

The EVmoji design challenge launched by the two companies attracted submissions from children, aged 6-16, around the world. Today, on World EV Day, the design from 11-year-old Lucía, of Central Europe, was crowned the winner.

Lucía’s winning design will now be submitted to the Unicode Consortium with a request to consider it in the development of an official EV emoji.

With global EV registrations predicted to increase from about 10 million today to 145 million in 2030¹, World EV Day and the EVmoji challenge helped to engage with the next generation of EV drivers and shine a light on the need for a globally recognized EV emoji.



Lucía, the EVmoji challenge winner, said: "I’d love my first car to be an electric car because I know they care for the environment. I'm very excited to have participated in this contest to help create the first EV emoji!"

Judges for the EVmoji design challenge included Ade Thomas, Founder, Green.TV Media, Frank Muehlon, President of ABB’s E-mobility Division and Simona de Silvestro, driver for the IndyCar Series and ABB Formula E.

“The judging panel chose Lucía’s entry from hundreds of very imaginative designs from around the world, truly putting the kids in the driving seat,” said Ade Thomas. “Her entry demonstrated flair and creativity and clearly shouts ‘electric vehicle’, even at the small size of an emoji. In conjunction with ABB, we’ll now submit the winning design to the Unicode Consortium for consideration.”

Frank Muehlon added, “We are thrilled with the response to the EVmoji design challenge and to World EV Day. Both initiatives offer a fantastic opportunity for people of all ages to learn more about electric vehicles and to generate excitement and collaboration on developments. Judging by these design submissions, the future is indeed electric.”

The Erceflora Probi Bears!

Kulayot's First Impression of the Erceflora ProbiBears I always want to bear-hug my growing kids, and by bear-hug, I mean protect them 24/7 a day, 365 days a year; but let's face it, as they grow, they want independence and freedom, and we don't want to be the NO parent.  Did you know? It's been estimated that there's about 400 NO's a child can hear in one day - not including the words STOP and WAIT. Since, it's impossible to keep them in one safe place, which is not healthy by the way, let's just make sure that we bear-hug them by giving them the protection from the inside! Complete Unboxing Video here:  https://www.facebook.com/GerilenCYW/videos/159918064962185/   One way to do it is to give our kids the E RCEFLORA ProbiBears!

Fresh Ka Pa Ba? Mag-#FruitasShakeMuna!

I don't know about you, but when it's too hot, I thirst for something cool and refreshing! Sometimes, I crave for something that isn't healthy - ice cold cola for one, or artificial milk-tea. Familiar, right But since I'm trying to live a healthier lifestyle, I stay away from soft drinks and minimize my milktea consumption by having other alternative refreshing drinks! At home, we try to blend fresh watermelon with apples and lemons for one, or I just drink plain water if I knew I had enough sugar for the day already. But when you're outside, it's a different story. Specially if you are on a road trip, and needed the extra booze from the sweets. Well, if we all want to feel good and look like a million buck without breaking the bank and harming your body, then let's shake it like Sarah G.! Yes! Feel and look like the pop star this summer, by first, shaking off all your stresses and beating the summer heat by dancing them away with Fruitas’ sha...
