Top 10 cities and states with the fastest-growing EV charger infrastructure

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:00:47 GMT

(iSeeCars) -- Electric vehicles are projected to grow from six percent to 30 percent of new vehicle sales in the next six years. A 500-percent spike in EV sales will require a similar rise in electric vehicle infrastructure if all these new EV owners want access to quick and convenient public charging.While there are already 150,000 EV charging stations in the U.S., most of them are Level 2 chargers that only add about 10-20 miles an hour to an electric vehicle’s range. Level 3 fast chargers can add 3-20 miles or range a minute, completely replenishing most electric vehicles in 30-60 minutes. However, with only 28,000 Level 3 fast chargers in the public infrastructure, access to fast charging is limited. Of those 28,000 fast chargers, over 17,000 are part of the Tesla Supercharger Network, leaving only 11,000 Level 3 chargers available for non-Tesla drivers. You can see which cities are the most and least EV friendly in our recent EV charger study, but suffice it to say the cou...

Yale student wants street named after Eli Whitney renamed

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:00:47 GMT

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) -- A Yale University business student is proposing renaming Whitney Avenue in New Haven, Connecticut. The student, Robert Lucas, said the legacy of Eli Whitney should be studied, not celebrated. “Eli Whitney’s principal legacy was the invention of the cotton gin, and that led to the expansion of slavery,” Lucas said. “The basic idea was creating a machine – or create and patent a machine – that could cut that work down," said Jason Bischoff-Wurstle, the director of photo archives at the New Haven Museum. "That idea being the work would be faster and require less people. It did go on in American history and create a massive growth of slavery rather than diminish it."The original cotton gin of Eli Whitney, on display in the Smithsonian.

He said that Whitney showed it off to the press before he had a patent for it."The word got out and people began building their own...

Is it 'y'all' or 'ya'll'? Where does the apostrophe go in Texas' favorite word?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:00:47 GMT

(NEXSTAR) — It's probably one of Texas' most-used words — but do you ever feel confused about where the apostrophe should go? You're not alone. Grammar can be hard, everyone!As Washington State University explains, it's a common English language error — no matter how simple it might be. Since the Southernism is a contraction of "you" and "all," the apostrophe "stands for the second and third letters in 'you." The top barbecue joint in Texas is in Austin, according to Yelp Thus, the correct placement is "y'all," not "ya'll" (which would cut the word 'all' in half)."Put together 'you all,' and you get 'y'all,' just as 'cannot' becomes 'can't' and 'do not' becomes 'don't.' Think about the term in this sense, and you'll be less likely to misspell it," Southern Living writer Grace Haynes explains.Even though you know it's right, the word "y'all" might still look wrong to your eye, though. Why is that? Your mind may be drawing visual connotations with a "will" contraction (like "we" + "...
