The Oura Ring...

More and more people are buying electric cars or considering one as their next purchase, but EVs do have a problem: the battery. The range for most cars isn’t where manufacturers and consumers would want it to be. Also, charging times can differ in speed, which can be a problem depending on what sort of trips you’re taking.
Then there’s the actual battery health to consider, as the battery will degrade in time, requiring an expensive replacement. That’s assuming buyers won’t rather buy a brand-new EV car.
The lifespan of an electric car’s battery also opens up environmental concerns. Ideally, that EV...

The Google Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL are Google's answers to the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Apple iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max.

(iSeeCars) – Electric cars are supposed to supplant internal-combustion-powered vehicles over the next 10-20 years. And while the sales of electric cars are growing, they remain a small fraction of the U.S. market due to their higher costs and limited charging stations.

Batteries can't last forever. If you own a smartphone, you'll notice that the battery's charge diminishes over time and that you need to plug in your phone more often. But this issue isn't exclusive to smartphone batteries. All batteries have a limited lifespan and eventually need to be replaced. Even home batteries, giant lithium-ion batteries that act as a backup power source for your home, are not immune to the inevitable demise their smaller counterparts face.

How Long Does a Home Battery Last?

Electric automotive technology isn't necessarily a new thing, but it has become substantially more popular in recent years as brands push to lower their overall carbon footprint. A conventional electric car design possesses far fewer moving parts , making the overall drivetrain a lot more efficient when compared to your average ICE design. Couple this with the fact that you don't need any fossil fuels to power an EV, and you'll find that this newer technology is a lot more of a logical choice for new automotive designs. Of course, this puts the debate of which configuration is more enjoyable to the side, as EVs generally have a reputation for being dull and soulless.

After disappearing from the U.S. in 2012, the Ford Ranger wound up returning to those same shores for the 2019 model year – albeit, as a larger, mid-size pickup. In recent months, those last-gen compact Ford Ranger models have become increasingly common sights on collector car auction sites, with nice, low-mile examples seemingly coming out of the proverbial woodwork. Now, that list has expanded yet again, this time, to include a very nice 2009 Ford Ranger XL.

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Don’t let the aggressively boxy styling of the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe fool you. The completely redesigned mid-size SUV looks like a slightly smaller version of the rugged Land Rover Defender 130, minus the spare tire mounted on the rear door. But the Santa Fe is not nearly that tough.
                But who cares? The new Santa Fe looks great, rides well, and can be ordered with an all-wheel-drive system that should satisfy most potential buyers. The Hyundai also costs only half as much as Rover,...
