Pontiac, known for its powerful engines, was at the forefront of automotive trends in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The Tempest and LeMans, for example, were available with a 400 cubic inch engine producing 345 horsepower in 1970.

However, the high import tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and lithium-ion batteries in the United States and Europe make it unlikely that the EZ-6 will be exported to these markets. While the Chinese version of the EZ-6 offers a range extender option with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated inline four gas engine, the prototype spotted testing in Germany is equipped with a purely electric powertrain.

The REIT can produce a lot of passive income. W. P. Carey (WPC -1.14%) has a long history of paying dividends. While the diversified real estate investment trust (REIT) reset its payment level last year after making the strategic decision to exit the troubled office sector, it still offers a high yield.

Carey has been rebuilding its dividend following last year’s strategic reset. Its…
