EV and renewable investments in the US are stalling – and May was another tough month. Businesses canceled $1.4 billion worth of clean energy factories and projects last month, according to the latest numbers from E2 and the Clean Economy Tracker. That pushes total canceled investments to $15.5 billion this year, wiping out nearly 12,000 potential jobs.
Working on e-bikes can be a pain – literally – if you’re hoisting 70, 80, or even 100-pound (up to 45 kg) bikes onto a repair stand for assembly or maintenance – something I seem to be doing on an all too regular basis. That’s why I was excited to get and test out a Remco electric bike lift stand, a motorized work stand that does the heavy lifting for you. And after using it for a few months while assembling and maintaining a revolving door of hefty e-bikes, I can safely say that this thing is a game changer – especially if your back is tired of playing bike mechanic.
Tesla’s stock (TSLA) surged by as much as 10% this morning following the controversial launch of its ‘Robotaxi’ this weekend, as investors are betting the automaker will now catch up to Waymo’s 6-year lead.

Tesla spent years selling its Full Self-Driving software, for as much as $15,000, with the promise that owners would be able to use that software to send their cars out as robotaxis to earn money when they’re not being used otherwise.
Just today, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that Tesla will be charging a flat fee of $4.20 for rides in its highly-supervised “robotaxi”. But that brings up the question: if Tesla spent so many years promising that you could use your car to earn money, and it’s using its cars to earn money, then why can’t you?
At the 103rd running of the Pike’s Peak International Hill Climb, electric cars once again impressed as Ford’s Super Mustang Mach-E won its class on a difficult race day where running was limited due to inclement weather.
The Senate version of the repubilcans’ tax bill won’t just add trillions of dollars to the deficit through a massive giveaway to wealthy elites, it will also take the US Postal Service’s awesome new EVs and sell them off for pennies on the dollar, wasting money simply out of spite for vehicles that were already cleaning your air and making your community safer.
