Electric vehicles help you not only save energy and emissions but also offer a better and quieter driving experience

Electric vehicles

Electric vehicles made by General Motors will be able to use much of Tesla's extensive charging network beginning early next year under an agreement the two companies have announced.
In addition, GM will adopt Tesla's connector, the plug that links an electric vehicle to a charging station.
GM joins Ford in shifting its electric vehicles to work with about 12,000 of Tesla's roughly 17,000 chargers, and both Detroit automakers are pushing to make Tesla's connector the industry standard. Barra and Musk made the announcement during a Twitter Spaces conversation.
Their discussion comes two weeks after Ford CEO Jim Farley joined Musk to announce that Ford's electric vehicles would gain access to much of Tesla's EV-charging network, the largest in the nation.
Farley also said Ford would switch to Tesla's charging network connector rather than to a different one that is used by the rest of the industry.

US Colorado wildfires

Embers from a smoldering scrap wood fire set days earlier outside a home used by a Christian religious communal group along with a sparking power line caused a 2021 Colorado wildfire fanned by high winds that destroyed nearly 1,100 homes and left two people dead, authorities said on Thursday.
Authorities spent 18 months investigating and determined criminal charges were not warranted for either The Twelve Tribes that occupied the home or the utility in charge of the power line, Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty said at a news conference.
If we were to tell you today we are filing charges, it would be wrong and unethical," Dougherty said.
The December 30, 2021, blaze in heavily populated suburbs between Denver and Boulder caused USD 2 billion in damage, making it the most destructive in Colorado history.
Two people were also found dead after what was known as the Marshall Fire.
The inferno erupted following months of drought amid a winter nearly devoid of snow and

Rishi Sunak, UK Prime Minister

President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak launched wide-ranging talks at the White House on Thursday by vowing that they would work in lockstep as the globe tries to adapt to a period of rapid economic, political and technological change.
The leaders' Oval Office talks were expected to cover the war in Ukraine, China, economic security, international cooperation on regulating the growing field of artificial intelligence, and more. Biden and Sunak have already had four face-to-face meetings since Sunak became prime minister in October, but the talks in Washington will offer the two leaders a chance for their most sustained interaction to date.
We will put our values front and center," Biden said.
Sunak reflected on the significant conversations that their respective predecessors have had over the years in the Oval Office and acknowledged that both he and Biden were facing their own daunting moment. The visit to Washington is Sunak's first since becoming Britain's pri

Mamata Banerjee

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday attacked the BJP-led central government by claiming that Indian Railways was destroyed the day the practice of presenting a separate Railway Budget was stopped.
The Narendra Modi government merged Railway Budget with the Union Budget in 2017, ending a practice of about 100 years.
"When I was the Railway Minister, we had the option of having six secretaries of Cabinet rank for various railway departments  - finance, employee welfare, signalling, engineering and electrical. They helped in coordination among different departments. Today, this coordination has gone.
Indian Railways was destroyed the day we stopped presenting the Budget separately. No one seems to care about these things these days," Banerjee told reporters.
The TMC supremo's statement came in the aftermath of the June 2 triple train accident in Odisha that left 288 people, including residents of West Bengal, dead.
