While Ohio lags in EVs, 1 local dealership carves a niche
Although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is encouraging the widespread adoption of electric vehicles, Ohio is lagging significantly in EV sales and registrations.But one local business is doing well by specializing in used EV sales. Maumee-based Price Pro is the second-largest used car dealer in northwest Ohio and, according to its president, Denny Walerius, is probably the largest seller of used EVs. The company was founded in 2014. Sixty percent of its sales are to local buyers with the remaining 40 percent coming from people all over the country. In 2022, the most recent year for which statistics are available, less than 1 percent of vehicles registered in the Buckeye State were electric. At present, 6.8 percent of all vehicles registered in the United States are electric. Ohio ranks 32nd among the 50 states for per-capita electric vehicle registrations. The EPA has stated that the auto industry could meet the agency’s 2032 emissions targets if 56 percent of new vehicle sales were electrics, 13 percent were plug-in hybrids, and gasoline-powered cars were made to be more fuel efficient.

Pitt RB Rodney Hammond Jr. ruled ineligible for season
Pittsburgh senior running back Rodney Hammond Jr. has been declared ineligible for the 2024 season on Friday, one day before the team's season opener against visiting Kent State. The school did not announce a reason for its decision on Hammond, who remains a member of the team and is permitted to participate in practice. Hammond led the Panthers in carries (118), rushing yards (547) and rushing touchdowns (four) last season. He has rushed for 1,511 yards and 14 touchdowns in three seasons with Pittsburgh, highlighted by his two-score performance in the Panthers' 37-35 victory over UCLA in the 2022 Sun Bowl. Pittsburgh coach Pat Narduzzi named Western Carolina transfer Desmond Reid as the team's starter at running back on Thursday. When asked about Hammond, Narduzzi said, "He's had a good camp." Reid will see a familiar face in Kade Bell, who has assumed the role of Pitt's offensive coordinator after previously serving in that role with high-powered Western Carolina. --Field Level Media
