🔌⚡️👍Stellantis is launching a 'Charging & Energy' unit to curb 'charging anxiety' and capitalize on the eco-mobility trend. They'll offer Free2move Charge, a platform granting access to over 500k charging points in Europe. Other services include home charging facility installation and a global public charging network.

🏋️♀️🪂🛻Chevy's Silverado EV debuts with a mammoth 200+kWh battery, providing 450+ mile range. This makes it stand out, though the battery weight raises the truck to 8500 lbs. Despite this, driving dynamics remain impressive. The Silverado EV work truck beats Ford's F-150 Lightning and Rivian R1T with 50% more battery. Other notable features include off-board power and DC fast charging. However, it won't sell for under $40,000 as initially planned. The truck is slated for fleet availability in the coming weeks.

The most important thing on a sinking ship is to figure out whose fault it the sinking was. Right?
