Frozen piles of coal outside Green Bay, Wisconsin powerplant are being relocated to aid waterfront development. By EVWorld.com Si Editorial Team The coal lobby is working overtime to convince the public that coal is the last trustworthy grown-up in the room. Their latest Utility Dive op-ed leans on a single planning metric, ELCC, as if it were a divine seal of reliability. It is not. And the way they use it is so misleading it borders on performance art. Here is the part they hope you will not look up: ELCC, or Effective Load Carrying Capability, is not a reliability score. It does not measure whether a coal plant will freeze, fail, or choke during a winter storm. It does not measure forced-outage rates. It does not measure fuel-supply risk. It does not measure cold-weather performance. ELCC answers one narrow planning question: "How much does this resource reduce blackout risk during the grid's highest-stress hours?" That is it. It is a capacity accreditation tool, a modeling input, not a verdict on dependability. Treating ELCC as proof that coal is "more reliable" is like treating your car's insurance premium as proof it will start on a January morning. And when you look at what actually happens during real stress events, the coal lobby's narrative collapses. PJM's own post-mortem shows that coal and gas units caused the overwhelming majority of unexpected outages. Not wind. Not solar. Not batteries. Coal's "high ELCC" did not keep its units from tripping offline when the grid needed them most. The op-ed leans on a fossil-funded model while ignoring independent data from EIA, NREL, and Lazard that all point the same direction: in most regions, it is cheaper to replace coal with new wind or solar than to keep burning fuel in an aging boiler. That is

New York City shows off new cars, concepts Industry insiders agree on growing importance of China's electric vehicles By BELINDA ROBINSON in New York | China Daily Global | Updated: 2026-04-03 09:25 Automakers from around the world showcased their latest vehicles at the 2026 New York International Auto Show on Wednesday, with an emphasis on new electric vehicles. The event, which will be open to the public from April 3-12 at the Javits Center in Manhattan, comes as the United States' market grapples with lagging consumer demand and a downturn in EV sales after Washington eliminated a $7,500 EV tax credit. But while the US EV market finds ways to deal with these challenges, many attendees acknowledged the growing importance of China's EVs on the world stage. One carmaker said that allowing China's cars into the US would actually spur healthy international competition. "Competition is good. We see plenty of Chinese brands in Europe and they're really, really good," Jens Sverdrup, chairman and chief commercial officer of Zenvo Automotive, told China Daily. "A brand like BYD, every time I see one, I'm impressed by the build, quality, you know, they drive well, I mean, they definitely have a sort of a head start in terms of efficiency and production." Sverdrup showed off his company's $3 million Zenvo Aurora, a light blue V12-powered hybrid hypercar. He explained that for Zenvo, headquartered in Denmark, the overseas market is very important. At least 60 percent of its cars are sold in the US, mainly in California, as well as Europe and Asia. Broad appeal While his cars offer impeccable design, "done the Danish way", he says that Chinese-made EVs have broad appeal. "Instead of protecting ourselves, we should just not get in the way of progress, and we should actually embrace the Chinese,

It hides in plain sight, invisible to the human eye. A developer opens a file of code, scans it for problems, sees nothing unusual, and moves on. But embedded in the spaces between characters — in the encoding layer beneath what any editor or terminal will display — a malicious payload is already executing. Credentials are being harvested. Build systems are being compromised. And quietly, methodically, the infection is spreading. This is GlassWorm: a software supply chain attack that security researchers are calling one of the most sophisticated and consequential threats to emerge in the modern era of connected vehicle development. And it is not slowing down. For the automotive industry, which has spent the better part of a decade racing to transform cars into software-defined platforms — updatable over the air, packed with connected features, and increasingly dependent on the same open-source ecosystems that power the broader technology world — the campaign represents an unsettling new category of risk. The threat does not come through the vehicle itself. It comes through the pipelines used to build it. A Worm That Thinks Like a Developer GlassWorm was first identified by security researchers in the fall of 2025, when analysts at Koi Security observed a self-propagating malware campaign moving through developer environments at a scale that caught the industry off guard. The mechanism was deceptively simple and devastatingly effective: a developer downloads a compromised software component, the malware steals their publishing credentials, and those credentials are then used to push poisoned updates to legitimate packages — spreading the infection further with each iteration, silently and automatically. The campaign’s technical signature became its calling card. Rather than hiding malicious logic in code that a reviewer might catch, GlassWorm concealed its payloads using invisible Unicode characters — characters that render as nothing in

Why play Rocket League on Xbox ...when you can play real-life giant-sized car soccer in Las Vegas? Meet Vegas Rocket Rally, Sin City's newest tourist-tastic activity where four rally cars and a six-foot soccer ball battle it out during a 30-minute match of unconventional automotive competition.. Here's how the Rocket Rally—which was inspired by Germany's nearly-100-year tradition of autoball—works. Two-person teams climb into four specially prepared Honda Civics on a dirt track. Each Honda has the glass removed, and racing seats and harnesses are installed to keep the driver safe. A giant six-foot soccer ball is placed in the middle of the field, and the teams then battle it out over the course of two 15-minute matches. Each driver has an in-car radio connected to a spotter on the sidelines to help guide them to victory. Vegas Rocket Rally handles transportation to and from your hotel; they provide the cars, all required equipment and a safety briefing. All you have to do is try to score some goals. While there are officials on the field to keep the game moving smoothly and ensure safety, don’t expect the rules of traditional soccer to apply here; there’s no referee brandishing red or yellow cards for fouls, no penalty shots for reckless play, and no corner kicks to break up the action. The focus is purely on fun, with the cars (and the giant ball) taking center stage. Las Vegas has never been short on over-the-top attractions—this is a town where places you can shoot a machine gun are a dime a dozen—but this might be in the running for the most unique yet. So if you can’t get your hands on FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets or don’t want to pay as much as $11,000 for a seat, Vegas Rocket Rally will

Passengers and drivers should be able to travel seamlessly across Britain without the need to juggle multiple tickets or apps. This is the key aim of the Better Connected national transport strategy, which seeks to make everyday journeys simpler by making it easier to pay for and more reliable from door to door. The Department for Transport envisages contactless tap-and-go travel becoming the norm across buses, trains, and trams in cities and towns across England. Local leaders will be given the tools to replicate joined-up systems currently in place in areas like Liverpool, London and Nottingham. Drivers will benefit from the expansion of the National Parking Platform, allowing them to use any parking app across participating car parks, ending the frustrating experience of having to download a different app each time. Traffic and technology priorities in the Better Connected strategy are: The strategy has a strong focus on technology, with contactless ticketing, data and innovation playing a key role. The government has announced a new partnership with Google, allowing passengers across England to track their bus in real-time through Google Maps. The service will be especially useful for passengers in rural areas where bus services are less frequent. Better Connected features a ‘Mini Switzerland’ pilot in the Peak District’s Hope Valley, backed by £6m of government funding. Taking its name from best practice in European rural areas, the trial will test more frequent, reliable rural bus services timed to connect with arriving trains to support local communities and tourism. The government is also publishing new local transport plan guidance, giving local leaders clear blueprints for building joined-up transport, making the most of their funding and boosting local growth. Transport secretary Heidi Alexander said: “For too long, getting from A to B has been more complicated than it needs to be.

News Predictive Vehicle Health: AI-Enabled Reliability Across the Transportation Lifecycle Date: Mar 25 2026 Publication: Machineedgeglobal.com Today’s vehicles are no longer just mechanical machine with few sensors and electronics control units. Over the last ten years or so, developments in vehicle connectivity, software, and data analytics have gradually transformed vehicles to software intensive intelligent devices capable of continuously assessing their own condition and performance. With the growing software content of vehicles, the volume of vehicle operation-related data has grown substantially, opening new doors to improving vehicle reliability in the transportation sector. This transformation has altered the approach of the transportation sector toward vehicle maintenance and design validation. Traditionally, vehicle manufacturers have counted on reactive approaches to vehicle reliability and maintenance. However, with the help of artificial intelligence and digital simulation technology, vehicle manufacturers are now able to use predictive analysis to identify vehicle complications and optimize vehicle performance. Predictive Maintenance Models: Anticipating Failures Before They Occur Modern automobiles use a vast network of sensors to monitor performance and environmental factors. In many circumstances, a single car may have 70 to 100 sensors that continually collect data on engine performance, temperature changes, braking patterns, vibration levels, battery health, and exterior driving conditions. Meanwhile, car links have exploded. More than 400 million automobiles around the world now have some form of connectivity and more than 60% of the vehicles sold today are linked. The growing web of connected cars is generating huge amounts of data on how vehicles actually perform in the real world.

Payne: In Mustang v 'Vette, Detroit muscle car war rages at NYC Show New York — The New York International Auto Show has an international vibe with its exotic European car display, melting pot of attendees, and World Car of the Year awards to kick thigs off. So, it’s fun to see a good ol’ American muscle fight break out on the show floor. Located in the adjacent Chevrolet and Ford exhibits on Level 3 of the Javits Convention Center, Corvette and Mustang have brought more firepower to the show than the deck of the USS Nimitz. Though the industry has been under fire by emissions regulations targeting multi-cylinder engines, the brands have remained committed to their howling, V8-powered icons. Indeed, for the eight-generation ‘Vette and seventh-gen Mustang, the two sub-brands have raised their profiles by expanding sales overseas, introducing new models, and going head-to-head on the global GT3 racing circuit from the streets of Detroit to the 200-mph Mulsanne Straight at France’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. Oh, it’s on. ‘Vette v Mustang. General vs. Ford. I thought some of New York’s finest might be brought in to police the Javits DMZ. Enter the show floor and Ford’s newest model, the RTR, is front-and-center dressed in blazing orange. The brainchild of drifting champion Vaughn Gittin, Jr., RTR takes Mustang’s standard, $35k, 315-horsepower, turbo-4-powered and turns up the wick. The RTR (you’ll know it by its twin, lit Mustang nostrils in the grille) will likely cost about $45k when it goes on sale this spring. RTR borrows goodies from its V8-powered GT and Dark Horse big brothers like quad exhaust, upgraded suspension and summer tires — then adds a drift brake and anti-lag engine feature to keep the turbocharger boosted for better corner carving.

As TechCrunch noted in a report Thursday (April 2), Elon Musk’s electric vehicle (EV) company last year debuted scaled-back versions of its Model Y and Model 3 starting at $39,990 and $36,990 respectively. However, the company’s first-quarter sales figures show that Tesla delivered 358,023 EVs worldwide in the first three months of the year, below analysts’ expectations of about 368,000. Tesla also produced significantly more cars than it sold, at 408,386, the report added. That means that Tesla only delivered approximately 6% more cars in the first quarter of this year than it did in the first quarter of 2025, its worst quarter in years. The Q1 2025 figures were also impacted by the company halting production for a few weeks for equipment overhauls, TechCrunch added, saying this suggests the new figures aren’t much of an improvement. The report also points out that the figures are noteworthy for a carmaker that once pledged to expand EV sales 50% each year. The quarterly numbers also means Tesla is at risk of an overall downturn in sales for the third straight year, while its profits are also declining. We’d love to be your preferred source for news.

Government unveils new plan to improve roads… by encouraging you to stop driving New ‘Better Connected’ strategy aims to make public transport “the cheapest and most convenient option for the majority of local trips” The Government has unveiled its ‘Better Connected’ strategy for UK transport. The multi-faceted plan aims to modernise mobility by making it greener, safer and more affordable, with a focus on encouraging people to step out of their cars and onto public transport. As part of the proposal, the Department for Transport said: “To reduce the amount of congestion on roads, public transport should be the cheapest and most convenient option for the majority of local trips. For journeys that need a car, electric vehicles play a role in reducing emissions and improving local air quality.” To make public transport more appealing, the Government highlights its priority to simplify payments for trains, trams and buses. The newly nationalised Great British Rail aims to do away with the necessity of split fares in order to get the cheapest possible ticket, while cities and local regions will be provided support with implementing pay-as-you-go and mobile offerings as alternatives to traditional contactless payments. Additional funding will also be allocated to make journeys more reliable. Google Maps integration will eventually enable bus passengers to track exactly where their bus is as they wait, plus AI will be used to streamline and perfect timetables. Additionally, the Accessible Travel Charter will help ensure those with a disability or mobility restrictions get access to the transport they require, whether that’s via step-free access to platforms, or sufficient training for staff. It’s hoped that changes such as these will encourage drivers to make greater usage of public transport which could then, in theory, push down prices as demand increases.

Invest in the nuclear renaissance through our list of 94 elite nuclear energy infrastructure plays powering the global AI revolution. Visteon Investment Narrative Recap To own Visteon, you have to believe in the long term shift toward digital cockpits, connected cars, and AI-driven in-vehicle experiences, and in Visteon’s role within that ecosystem. The recent mixed quarter and softer 2026 revenue and EBITDA guidance mainly highlight execution and demand uncertainty rather than altering the core cockpit-electronics thesis. Near term, the key catalyst remains new program wins and AI-cockpit adoption, while the biggest risk is production and tariff-related pressure on already-sensitive margins. The most relevant recent announcement is Visteon’s 2026 sales guidance of US$3.625 billion to US$3.825 billion, which sits uncomfortably alongside softer 2026 revenue and EBITDA commentary. This tension between topline ambition and more cautious profitability expectations matters for the cockpit AI catalyst, because it raises questions about pricing, cost recovery, and how much margin pressure Visteon might absorb to secure content in next generation software-defined vehicles. Yet beneath the promise of AI cockpits and connected cars, investors should be aware of the concentration and pricing risks that could... Read the full narrative on

2026 Mitsubishi Triton price and specs: Suspension, tech and styling updates for Australia All Mitsubishi Triton utes gain revised suspension in Australia for 2026, plus new styling for high-grade models, and connected-car phone technology. - 2026 Mitsubishi Triton pricing and specifications - Front and rear suspension updates across the Triton range - Yamaha Performance Dampers, Mitsubishi Connect telematics added to GSR 4x4 pick-up - Priced from $37,090 before on-road costs; fewer manual versions Pricing and specification details for the updated 2026 Mitsubishi Triton have been confirmed, ahead of the debut of the Australian-tuned Triton Raider flagship ute. For 2026, all Mitsubishi Tritons – from GLX to GSR – receive high-response 'Various Performance Setting' valves for their shock absorbers, with an increased rear shock absorber diameter, as well as a lower spring rate and rubber body mounts in their front suspension. According to Mitsubishi Australia, the suspension upgrades result in "improved ride comfort and reduced harshness, while maintaining the agility Triton is known for in the segment". Australian pricing has increased by $100 to $300 for carryover Triton grades – now starting from $37,090 before on-road costs – excluding the GSR 4x4 dual-cab pick-up, which has risen by $1000. The GSR pick-up exclusively gains the Mitsubishi Connect telematics service, along with Yamaha Performance Dampers fitted horizontally across its chassis. Mitsubishi says the Yamaha Performance Dampers – fitted at the front and rear of the frame – further improve body control over bumps and steering response, and reduce noise, vibration and harshness (NVH). Complimentary for the first five years of ownership, Mitsubishi Connect adds a factory-fitted Telstra 4G mobile data connection, resulting in emergency SOS calls, stolen vehicle tracking, and curfew, geofence and overspeed alerts. Owners can also send remote vehicle commands, including controlling the air conditioning and locking/unlocking the vehicle, from

Key Stats for QCOM Stock - Past-30-Day Performance: -10% - 52-Week Range: $121 to $206 - Valuation Model Target Price: $174 - Implied Upside: 37% Analyze your favorite stocks like QUALCOMM Incorporated with TIKR (It’s free) >>> What Happened? Qualcomm has come under pressure in 2026 as investors question whether the company can offset weakening smartphone demand, which still drives a large portion of its chip sales, with growth in newer areas like automotive and artificial intelligence, especially as competitors like NVIDIA and Advanced Micro Devices benefit more directly from data center AI spending, while MediaTek remains a key rival in smartphone chips. The stock fell about 10% over the past 30 days, finishing near $129 per share. The stock declined primarily after Bernstein downgraded Qualcomm to Market Perform from Outperform and cut its price target to $140 from $175, citing weakening smartphone demand, rising memory-related headwinds, and concerns that current earnings estimates are too high due to the impact of Apple-related revenue pressures. This month, Qualcomm highlighted progress in its diversification strategy, reporting automotive revenue of about $1.1 billion, up 15% year over year, with its design-win pipeline reaching roughly $45 billion, representing future contracts with automakers adopting its chips and in-car software platforms. The company also announced a $20 billion stock buyback program and raised its quarterly dividend to $0.92 per share, with CEO Cristiano Amon noting it remains focused on “executing on our ongoing diversification opportunities.” Analyst and institutional activity reinforced the mixed outlook. Bernstein’s downgrade and price target cut added pressure, while broader sentiment remains cautious with a median price target near $157.
