As GM prepares to switch its EVs to NACS, it has some new adapters

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-29 10:10:27

In mid-2023, just as it seemed like the North American auto industry had settled on CCS1 as the default fast-charging plug, everything upended as Ford, then General Motors, then everyone else announced they were adopting the North American Charging Standard.

In his highly anticipated new book, Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future, Hoover Institution fellow Dan Wang proposes a fresh lens for looking at the world’s two largest superpowers: the US is a “lawyerly society,” he argues, while China is an “engineer

Unpacking Passkeys Pwned: Possibly the most specious research in decades

Don’t believe everything you read—especially when it’s part of a marketing pitch designed to sell security services.
