Working from home also likely means far less physical activity than our bodies are used to as even the short walks to the car, office, and around the world that was are no longer an option. Instead, we now make fully armored trips to the store, outings to dust the cobwebs off the car, and far more attention to the garden than is healthy. Such is life, but it doesn’t have to be this way.
The Tesla Model 3 is an amazing vehicle, but it comes up a little short when it comes to hauling around lots of gear. Specifically, bikes. Our pals over at EVAnnex reached out to us about reviewing the EcoHitch for the Tesla Model 3. We jumped in with both feet. Our task: install and test the EcoHitch and the Undercover adapter.
A husband and wife team took a unique approach to solving the problem of forgetting the card keys for their Tesla. They started by deconstructing the Tesla key card itself and proceeded to build the RFID chip and antenna into a custom ring that can then be used to unlock the car.
If I’m being honest, I wasn’t that excited about the RadRover Step-Thru when I first heard about it.

But in contrast with many things I review that simply perform as expected, the RadRover Step-Thru electric bike absolutely blew me away.
Global battery powerhouse Samsung’s Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) and the Samsung R&D Institute Japan (SRJ) just published a new study highlighting its next generation solid state battery. The new lithium metal solid state battery delivers better energy density than more traditional lithium-ion batteries and promises to usher in a new generation of batteries to power all our devices.
Panasonic is building on its deep bench of products in the consumer space to build a suite of residential energy storage products. CleanTechnica spoke with Panasonic Sales Engineer Dan Glaser about the work Panasonic is doing to unify the various energy systems in the home into a single, intelligent operating unit.
BYD is amping up charging speeds on its forklifts this week with the addition of a second AC charging port. The second port allows BYD’s forklifts to charge with two adapters from a single wallbox at a maximum power of 400 amps at 240 volts, or 166 kW. That is faster than most DC fast chargers and ensures forklift operators will be able to maximize the use of their BYD forklifts.
Ryan Kennedy, the CEO of Atom Power, believes his solid state circuit breaker is primed to disrupt not just the world of circuit breakers, but also deliver realtime energy monitoring, control, with a host of software to tune it.
