Even in a year marked with all kinds of uncertainty, the American electric vehicle market continues to grow rapidly. But what’s holding that growth back isn’t necessarily the cars themselves—it’s the charging. So much of the electric world is about infrastructure, from making sure customers have good home charging options to giving them ways to easily handle road trips and off-the-beaten-path errands with quality public DC fast charging. The first one is generally seamless and great; the second one can be a real crapshoot. Enter Mercedes-Benz, which is taking some of the boldest steps among traditional automakers to ensure that…
Sports anime are eternally popular, with each season containing a couple of shows that fit the genre. Be it baseball, soccer, running, basketball, or horseracing(girls), fans craving stories with a competitive edge should not struggle to find something that suits their fancy, and a fondness for the core activity is not generally required. As common as this genre is on the whole, combat sports anime are considerably harder to come by, especially if battle shonen shows that incorporate martial arts like Dragon Ball Z are ignored.

The 2025 Porsche Taycan continues to under-promise and over-deliver. In a new 70 mph highway range test, the Taycan blasted past its EPA rating. It did that in cold-ish temperatures while running on winter tires. When Porsche launched the Taycan around the turn of the decade, it got rave reviews for its performance but didn’t really earn a reputation for efficiency. At least initially, road-tripping wasn’t its forte. But Porsche kept improving the Taycan over the years, with bigger batteries and a more efficient powertrain. Now, it’s one of the best EVs for chugging miles. It beat its EPA range…
In InZOI, there is a system called Karma, and it basically manages the good and bad deeds your Zois do. Having bad Karma will shine a negative light on the selected Zoi, and people will start avoiding them and spreading rumors. In the worst-case scenario, they might end up in jail.

Cthulhu Mythos features tons of otherwordly creatures, each one with its own set of strengths and weaknesses. In The Sinking City, developer Frogwares included several creatures that were directly inspired by Lovecraftian lore.
