Disappointed that Ohio State lost tonight, but Indiana should be proud that they have a truly excellent football team. Hope they represent the Big Ten well in the post season

Hey EV drivers, how has DC Fast Charging gone for you with the holiday weekend?
Stations seemed busy in spots, but everything worked well with this brand new EVgo installation for me

Tesla scales back Robotaxi fleet goal in Austin
The Tesla Robotaxi fleet in Austin has only about 30 Model Ys in use. When we compare 60 vehicles to the 500 cars promised just weeks ago, the difference is huge. Tesla will miss its year-end goal by almost 90%.

Tesla scales back Robotaxi fleet goal in Austin
The announced doubling of the Tesla Robotaxi fleet in Austin only brings the total number of supervised EVs to about 60, a massive shortfall from the 500 vehicles the company promised just weeks ago.

The energy transition happens often in unlikely places at unprecedented rates.
Take Nepal: Over the past year, electric vehicles accounted for 76 percent of all passenger vehicles and half of the light commercial vehicles sold in Nepal.
Five years ago, that number was essentially zero.

Farmers, enviros and unions unite to repeal local ban on solar and wind projects in Richland, Ohio.
IBEW says: “They provide a ton of work, a ton of man-hours."

This Ohio county banned wind and solar. Now, residents are pushing…
Richland County forbade large-scale renewable energy in most townships. Next May, voters will have a chance to reject the rules in a first-of-its-kind…

Like gas stations, but worse! Seriously can't imagine rolling up to plug in and not knowing if I'll pay $0.30 or $0.70/kwh
Tesla is expanding its live pricing pilot to hundreds of additional Supercharging stations. Prices now change in real-time, depending on the site's utilization.

This is a terrible idea for a company CEO! What the heck is Toyota thinking?
Hmm was “hybrids are best for the environment” argument bullshit after all? I get the need to pander but this is pretty brazen. Take a lesson from Tesla and maybe stay out of politics, Akio?

If I were @amyactonoh.bsky.social I would run on a platform opposing new data centers in Ohio. You know the other candidate is bought and paid for by big tech and wouldn't take a stand
Data centers are concentrated in these states- and here's how that is effecting electricity prices: www.cnbc.com/2025/11/14/d...

I was today years old when I learned there were two Fitzgerald ships that sank in the Great Lakes
Today’s the anniversary of the sinking of the Edmond Fitzgerald, which went down in the Great Lakes with no survivors
“Wait wasn’t that a few days ago?” Nah you’re thinking of the other Edmund Fitzgerald, which sunk in the Great Lakes with no survivors
