• North Carolina’s plan to ban free EV charging is an environmental disgrace

  10-06-2022 17:31 via thenextweb.com
  
  While the US federal government is moving towards standardizing fast-charging infrastructure and installing the first national network of chargers on highways, North Carolina might be going in the opposite direction.

Functional states of 657 CCS DCFC EVSE. Image credit: SSRN The research found

  10-06-2022 03:15 via thenextweb.com
  
  I really liked Dell’s old XPS 13 2-in-1, but it’s occupied a somewhat awkward place in Dell’s lineup. Unless you absolutely needed the 360-degree hinge, the regular XPS 13 was usually the better deal, as it offered better performance for the price.
