A JD Power survey shows that people who drive electric cars are quite happy.  In fact, they tend to like their cars more than drivers of combustion vehicles do.  Studies show that EV drivers tend to go electric for their next purchase.  New-vehicle owners are happier overall with their cars than they were last year, but people who bought EVs have the biggest smiles on their faces. That’s according to JD Power’s 2026 Automotive Performance, Execution, and Layout (APEAL) study, which gauges “owners’ emotional attachment and level of excitement with their new vehicle.” The firm found that “electric cars outperform…

Massachusetts lawmakers are considering a new statewide framework for micromobility that could finally bring clearer rules to everything from e-bikes and e-scooters to higher-speed electric motorbikes capable of reaching 30 mph, 40 mph, and beyond. Rather than regulating vehicles based on what they’re called or how they look, the proposed legislation classifies them according to how fast they’re capable of traveling. It’s an approach that many are hoping could future-proof the law as new types of electric personal vehicles continue to appear. Under the proposal, traditional bicycles and other human-powered devices like kick scooters without a motor would fall into…

Is an e-reader case as dangerous as a Glock 19?Last month, Louisville, Kentucky-based creator Luke The Maker showed off a bizarre, 3D-printed, pistol-shaped case design for the popular minimalist Xteink X4 e-reader. The X4 lies vertically atop the plastic gun’s slide, with a cutout on the side to access its buttons. Though the frame was digitally modeled after a real gun, this “case” can’t shoot bullets. Squeezing the trigger does nothing at all. He calls his contraption the “Gundle.”In a post showing off the wacky accessory, Luke (whose last name is Blackford) can be seen flipping through Cormac McCarthy’s Blood…

A power line went down outside of Washington, DC, this week. Normally, the grid would only need a few seconds to recover from such an event.

The event caused voltage across the PJM grid to spike from Northern Virginia to Chicago, according to data collected by Ting Labs, a startup that runs an IoT sensor network out of people’s electrical sockets. The event didn’t cause a blackout, but it did cause lights across the region to flicker. The incident…
