Hyundai and Kia, both under the umbrella of Hyundai Motors, have taken distinct approaches to the adoption of the NACS charging standard in the US. While Hyundai has been more proactive, announcing plans to equip its upcoming models with a native NACS port, Kia has opted for a more cautious strategy, offering free NACS adapters to certain EV6 and EV9 owners but requiring others to pay. Despite these differences, both brands have ensured their EV owners can access the expansive Tesla Supercharger network, providing a convenient charging solution. This decision aligns with the growing trend of car manufacturers partnering with…

Hyundai has given its Ioniq 5 N a facelift for the South Korean market. The 2025 model gets an enhanced N Drift Optimizer and N e-Shift function. It also comes with more standard features.

Image source: Getty Images In recent years, economic and political uncertainty in Britain has damaged demand for FTSE 250 shares. So while it’s up in the year to date, the UK’s second-most-prestigious stock index remains jam-packed with cheap stocks. Investors have several tools at their disposal to find bargain shares. Two commonly used metrics are the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio and dividend yield, which can be used to assess a stock’s value relative to its growth and income prospects. Using these indicators, I believe these two FTSE 250 shares are worth serious consideration from value investors this month. The Renewables Infrastructure…
The Honda Passport, a midsize SUV that hasn’t been a major sales success, is undergoing a complete redesign for the 2026 model year. Scheduled to be revealed this fall, the first units will arrive in dealerships early next year with a new engine. The Passport is more rugged than the family oriented Pilot and currently features a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine known as the J35Y6. This engine was used in the Pilot until 2022, when it was replaced by the J35Y8 in the 2023 model. The J35Y8 differs from the J35Y6 in several key areas. While both engines have…
(Reuters) -A Russian guided bomb struck a five-storey apartment block in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city, late on Wednesday, starting fires and injuring at least 10 people, local officials said. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the strike, the latest in a long series of attacks on the city, underscored the need for more help from Ukraine’s Western backers. He pointed to Iran’s strike on Israel as an example of allies working together. He said that in order to stop Russian strikes, “Ukraine must receive the necessary, and most importantly, sufficient help from the world, from our partners. “Every leader knows exactly…

In a recent video, YouTuber WhistlinDiesel revealed a shocking incident involving a Tesla Cybertruck. While attempting to tow a Ford F-150, the Cybertruck’s frame unexpectedly snapped. This revelation is particularly concerning, given Tesla’s marketing of the Cybertruck as an “apocalypse-ready” vehicle. While some argue that the Cybertruck’s previous history of abuse contributed to the failure, it’s clear that the truck’s tow hitch design is far from robust. A subsequent video by WhistlinDiesel further highlighted the differences in frame strength between the Cybertruck and the Ford F-150. Despite being subjected to multiple drops from a height, the F-150’s steel frame remained…
The Lancia Delta, a legendary nameplate in the Italian automaker’s history, is set to make a comeback in 2028 with an electric twist. While no test mules have surfaced yet, digital artist Bernhard Reichel has envisioned a potential design for the next-generation Delta, drawing inspiration from the iconic first generation model. Reichel’s design concept features a steeply raked rear window, an upright liftgate, circular taillights, and a gloss-black roof mounted spoiler. The Ypsilon’s C-pillar badges and pop-out rear door handles are also incorporated into the design. To emphasize its electric nature, the artist has omitted tailpipes and added digital side…
