The numbers say that EVs are a small fraction of the vehicles on roads -- they account for only 9% of light-duty vehicle sales in the third quarter of 2024 -- however, the rate at which EV technology is developing is astonishing. The new frontier for EVs is called bidirectional charging, where your car's big battery could provide backup power to your home during a power outage. Companies like Ford, GM, Volvo and Tesla have all adopted bidirectional charging on some models in their lineups, and

Meta may have caved on their content moderation policies for the sake of “free speech”, but there’s a world of other Big Tech companies out there – and more social media platforms for conservatives to de-censor. On Thursday, Rep. Jim Jordan subpoenaed Alphabet, the parent company of Google, demanding documents that show whether YouTube removed content at the request of the Biden-Harris administration – acting, in his words, as “a direct participant in the federal government’s censorship regime.”
