I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Dynamic energy prices at a public DC charging station? Payable directly by card? And yes, this is in Germany.
Heise says it works well. I'm looking forward to better price dynamics (currently, it's capped at the low and high end, which keeps charging prices relatively high)

The Nepalese EV transition.
In simple terms, brown on this graph is India's share and blue is China's share.
The trigger? India effectively halted all imports of petroleum into Nepal in 2015, an "undeclared blockade", which was "masked as constitutional concern".

I'm becoming convinced Lyft has a basic conflict of interest managing ridehail as well as bikeshare in NYC, DC, Boston, Chicago, SF, etc.
The more expensive bikeshare is for visitors, the more likely they are to take ridehail instead (great for Lyft; bad for cities).
Seems like a problem!

$10.69 for a 15-minute ride?
For visitors, public bikeshare often feels like a ripoff.
In CityLab, I explored why.

Bikeshare Shouldn’t Kick Tourists to the Curb
Barcelona’s bikeshare program excludes non-Spanish visitors. Other cities charge tourists much higher fees to rent two-wheelers. Which policy makes more sense?
