arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-03 19:49:30

Here's some good news for a Friday afternoon: For 2025 through August, global electric vehicle sales have grown by 25 percent compared to the same eight months in 2024, according to the analysts at Rho Motion. That amounts to 12.5 million EVs, although the data combines both battery EVs and plug-in hybrid EVs for the total. However, that's for global sales. In fact, EV adoption is moving even faster in Europe, which has grown by 31 percent so far this year (Rho says that BEV sales grew by 31 pe

Nissan Leaf 2026 Review: Superb Steering, Competitive Pricing

wired.com John Voelcker 2025-10-03 21:00:00

Nissan quotes 160 kilowatts (214 horsepower) and 252 pound-feet of torque for the single motor that drives the front wheels. Acceleration is adequate in the standard drive mode, with Sport providing a bit more boost, enough to spin an inside front wheel in turns when pressed. The Eco mode was underwhelming, and while there’s a Personal mode to tweak your own combination of settings, we’d be shocked if anyone ever uses it. Nissan offers four levels of regenerative braking, controlled via paddle

Physicists Made a Time Crystal We Can Actually See

But they certainly exist, and to provide more solid proof, physicists have finally created a time crystal we can actually see.
