• EVs don’t work for everyone

  22-03-2025 16:00 via ocregister.com
  
  I spent the past two weeks deep undercover as an electric vehicle driver.
  This was largely in response to negative feedback I received to a recent column, but even more largely because my car has been in the shop for more than a month (a story for another day).
  A month ago I wrote that the skyrocketing costs of electricity with utilities, especially PG&E, are quickly shrinking the major advantage EVs have over their gas-powered counterparts – the cost of recharging – and it was n

  FULLERTON — It’s now how long you had the lead as long as you have it when the clock reaches zero.
  The Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball team trailed UC Davis by 14 points at halftime and was trying to catch the Aggies for the entire game, but Bailey Nunn drained a go-ahead 3-pointer with 19 seconds left and the Titans held on for a 93-92 victory on Thursday night at Titan Gym.

  In his fourth game in a Clippers uniform and his first at the Intuit Dome, Mathurin tied his career high with 38 points and played solid defense, then knocked down two free throws with 9.1 seconds left that seemingly iced their first victory in three tries against the Nuggets this

  LONG BEACH — The UC Irvine men’s basketball team will take a win any way it can get one these days.
  Even an ugly one like Thursday’s.
  The Anteaters turned the ball over early and often against Long Beach State in their Big West Conference matchup, but they made up for it on the defensive end in a 69-58 victory at the Pyramid.
  UCI led from start to finish, but committed 15 of its 22 turnovers in the first half.

  LOS ANGELES — The UCLA women’s basketball team rolled past another Big Ten opponent, but it didn’t match the dominant performances the Bruins have grown accustomed to.
  UCLA beat Washington, 82-67, on Thursday night, but the Bruins let the Huskies hang around far longer than they should have before closing out the win to clinch a share of the Big Ten regular-season title and the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten Tournament.
