WIRED Magazine (Not sure if this has a paywall; sorry if it does.) Gist of the article is how viciously Tesla fanboys attack those Tesla owners who question anything about the company or its majority shareholder. It can get very nasty. I have been grateful that we don't see much of that here...

Following on Ford's recent $19.5 million write-down. Loss of $7,500 EV credit and current administration's intent to ignore CAFE standards are big factors. General Motors writes down $6 billion as domestic EV sales plans change (Ars Technica)

I don't love the company, but this is not meant to kick 'em when they're down! I think it's better if every manufacturer sells more electric cars, and I have benefited--as most of us have--from the build-out of the Supercharger network. Some decrease has to do with the loss of U.S. tax breaks...

We Wirelessly Charged the Porsche Cayenne EV and Found Out Why the Charger Won’t Fry Your Cat Solution in search of a problem. Maybe it's just because the tech is immature, but I don't see it. It only charges at "up to 11 kW." After all, it can't charge any faster than that on a 240v 48A...
