NACS Standardization Under Way
https://motorillustrated.com/sae-shapes-the-future-of-ev-charging-with-tesla-nacs-connector-standards/117465/
https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1140079_electrify-america-tesla-connectors-800v-charging
In more ways than one, it seem everybody is standardizing on NACS.
SAE is fast tracking a standard for NACS and Electrify America is adding NACS (Tesla) connectors to its charging network. Electrify America will continue to support CCS connectors as well. The NACS V4 connectors will be added to support 800V charging. -
Joby Aviation Receives Special Airworthiness Certificate
Joby Marks Production Launch, Receives Permit to Fly First Aircraft Built on Production Line in Close Collaboration with Strategic Partner and Investor, Toyota - Toyota USA Newsroom
Toyota's Strategic Partner, Joby Aviation, was awarded a Special Airworthiness Certificate to begin testing its first production prototype. If you read the press release from Joby Aviation linked at the bottom of the article, you'll see it will be the first eVTOL aircraft to be delivered to a customer. The customer is the US Air Force as part of the Agility Prime contract. It'll begin flight testing at Edwards Air Force Base sometime this year.
Seems ironic that Toyota has pumped $400M into an electric aircraft company to produce BEA (Battery Electric Aircraft). -

Free EV Charging for Canadians?
https://motorillustrated.com/telus-and-jolt-team-up-for-5000-more-ev-chargers-in-canada/116952/
Ok maybe not totally free, but TELUS (Canadian Telecommunications) and Jolt (Australian EV Charging) are teaming up to install 5,000 DC charging stations across Canada. The first 7 kWh will be free (enough for 40 to 50 km). Because they are combining EV chargers with a telecommunications company, the chargers will operate on the TELUS' network and offer public Internet access.
No timeline has been set on when all of these DC chargers appear, but the first ones will be going in later in 2023. TELUS has stated all of these chargers will be powered by renewable energy.
Interesting that they'll offer 7 kWh of free charging but it might mimic what a lot of Norwegians do. Put just enough in to get to their next destination or home if trips are not going across the country.... -

Lying to potential cat thieves...
Like the burglar alarm sign or sticker with no burglar alarm, just a few stickers on the window or cat shield might fool the potential burglar to go elsewhere.
In the dark the potential burglar would find it hard or take the time to authentic an OEM cat under a shield.

Toyota Replacing BMW as the Ultimate Driving Machine?
Probably should be filed under, never thought I'd see the day, article from a car magazine.
https://www.motorbiscuit.com/bmw-toyota-going-opposite-directions/
Apparently Motor Biscuit thinks so and bemoans where BMW is headed, but knows this is a business decision. They are pointing out all the positives Toyota is producing like their GR series, TRD in their trucks and SUVs, reintroduction of manuals, and the intro of power hybrids while thrumming the negatives BMW is introducing into their car lineup.
Personally Toyota Europe and Lexus Europe are getting the majority of the new car types, like the new 2024 Yaris, GR Yaris, Aygo X, 2024 C-HR, Lexus LBX, and many more including some you can still get with a manual and/or diesel powertrain. Apparently Toyota's foot dragging approach to EVs, unlike the avalanche the European car makers are driving towards, is getting noticed. Not too sure Toyota... -
