The Context of White Supremacy hosts the Counter-Racist Weekly Review 08/01/26. This broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth and neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS This week, we analyze systemic violence, educational exclusion, state surveillance, and the ongoing war on Black autonomy: **The Weaponization of the Legal System & State Torture: We deconstruct the "not every tragedy is a crime" rhetoric shielding suspects as the high-profile murder trial continues. We directly link the new subpoenas issued in the Nolan Wells death probe to this week's Texas grand jury indictment in the horrific drowning death of Daniel Erving. We contrast these ongoing investigations with the rare legal choice given to Ivy Kelly after spending decades behind bars, and scrutinize the systemic gun violence crisis that leaves thousands dead while White Men and Women refuse to act. **Systemic Educational Exclusion & Historical Erasure: We examine the deliberate bottlenecks of elite schooling as statistics reveal only three Black students gained entry into Stuyvesant High School this year. We couple this extreme exclusion with a massive lawsuit filed against the Park City School District, alongside Utah's holiday honoring a Native American massacre. We apply counter-racist logic to show how public education and state histories are structured to maintain white dominance while marginalizing non-white youth. **The Architecture of Mass Surveillance & Digital Displacement: We track the rapid expansion of the corporate surveillance grid, investigating whether Flock safety cameras are actively spying on Southern California residents. We analyze these tracking mechanisms alongside the growing renter-owner wealth gap, which is wider than ever and pricing non-white families completely out of the market. We expose how municipal surveillance and economic warfare work in tandem to monitor, control, and financially displace non-white populations. **Immigration Terror, Global Deportation, & Political Theater: We confront the overt white supremacy within federal enforcement, analyzing leaked footage that shows immigration agents using racial slurs during raids targeting Latinos. We examine the sports entertainment industry's intersection with state violence as we review how Kenya's first NFL player, Daniel Adongo, was likely given CTE and then deported by the Trump administration. Finally, we expose the hypocrisy of the White House pushing healthy eating while simultaneously cutting landmark federal nutrition education programs. #EndStageWhiteSupremacy #TheCOWS17Years #CounterRacism #MediaLiteracy #DanielErving #NolanWells #IvyKelly #DanielAdongo #StuyvesantHigh #FlockSafety Call-In Number: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

What does it take to turn heartbreak into music... and a pandemic hobby into a thriving business? On this episode of Between the Notes, Paisan Kapitan sits down with rising Armenian hip-hop artist Franco Drew, who opens up about depression, purpose, the inspiration behind his upcoming album Jolly Kid, and why making an impact matters more than chasing fame. Then meet Suzy, founder of Shishaya Premium Hookah Catering, who transformed a simple passion into one of Southern California's premier hookah catering companies while balancing a successful career in finance. It's a conversation about faith, perseverance, entrepreneurship, music, and discovering the purpose God has for your life.

Remember how a shady Southern California water agency, the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, announced that it wanted to take over the Potter Valley Project on the Eel River, seemingly to thwart dam removal? We have some good news. Earlier this month, the Federal Energy Regulator Commission (FERC) denied the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District's petition to “intervene” in their proceedings. This means that the Water District would lack “standing” to sue over the final determination by FERC. While welcome news, that doesn't mean that Elsinore is out of tricks it can play. Alicia Hamann, Executive Director of Friends of the Eel River, joins the program to give the latest news on Eel River dam removal.For the latest on Eel River news, be sure to go to eelriver.orgSupport the show

Listen without ads: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Katie starts at 32 minutes in! This week on Dopey! BEFORE KATEY: We help a young philadelphian struggling with substances - and we celebrate the instant-classic Dopey appearance of Ben Croxton; reads Patreon and Spotify reactions; and announces DopeyCon at the SVA Theatre on October 3!  Dave sits down with actor, musician and recovery legend Katey Sagal for an expansive conversation about addiction, show business and nearly four decades of sobriety. Katey traces her story from growing up in Southern California and discovering music as her first escape from social anxiety to being prescribed amphetamine diet pills at 14. What began with pills, weed and alcohol gradually progressed into street speed, cocaine, freebasing, Percocet and a daily need to remain medicated. She remembers singing with Bob Dylan as a teenager, going to dinner with him while he wore no shoes, working with Bette Midler and Etta James, and navigating a music industry where heavy drug use was accepted as long as you made it to the gig. She also discusses her first husband's heroin addiction, experimenting with heroin herself, driving with ounces of cocaine in her trunk and continually placing herself in dangerous situations to stay loaded. Katey explains how she entered AA while searching for a boyfriend named Spider, stayed sober for several months, relapsed while working in New York and finally got sober for good on August 6, 1986. Only months into recovery, she began playing Peg Bundy on Married… with Children. She talks about telling someone on set that she was sober, working the Steps immediately, and maintaining her recovery as the show became a cultural phenomenon. The conversation also covers Futurama, Sons of Anarchy, meeting Kurt Sutter in a Twelve Step meeting, sponsorship, service, gratitude, Al‑Anon and why addiction continues to surface through food, shopping, control and obsessive thinking—even after the drugs are gone. Before Katey joins the show, Dave responds to a 23-year-old listener struggling with pyrazolam, kratom, marijuana and alcohol; celebrates Ben Croxton's . The episode closes with Jake from West Virginia performing a banjo cover of “I Wanna Be Good So Bad,” complete with an original third verse. All that and MORE! on a brand new episode of dopey!

Program Note: Daniel misspoke about the Tycho and Kepler supernovae. They were not the last to be seen in the universe but the last two supernovae to be seen in the Milky Way galaxy.   A great deal of time, effort, and tax dollars have been spent to explore the heavens. But even after all the expenditures, secular astronomy and cosmology are still unable to say what it all means. Some have suggested the universe doesn't mean anything, that it just is. Others say we can make up our own meaning. But we here at Good Heavens! believe the universe exists for one main purpose, to declare the glory and the righteousness of God, to display His handiwork and remind us of His many invisible attributes (Psalm 19; 50.6; Romans 1.18ff; Colossians 1.16ff). Here on this episode we sit down with Christian and astrophysicist Dr. Jeff Zweerink and get his thoughts about how he sees the universe pointing him to the glory of God. Astrophysicist Jeff Zweerink is a former senior research scholar at Reasons to Believe (RTB). He earned a BS in physics and a PhD in astrophysics from Iowa State University with a focus on gamma rays. He taught at and ran the planetarium at Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa, until postdoctoral research in gamma rays led him to the University of California, Riverside. Jeff spent years working on the STACEE and VERITAS gamma-ray telescopes and was involved in research projects such as the Solar Two project and the Whipple Collaboration. He continues to work as a project scientist at UCLA on GAPS, a balloon experiment seeking to detect dark matter. Zweerink is also a coauthor of more than 30 academic papers published in peer-reviewed journals such as Astrophysical Journal, Astroparticle Physics, and Astrobiology. While an undergrad at Iowa State University, he heard astrophysicist and RTB founder Hugh Ross speak on the constructive integration of science and the Christian faith. Ten years later, a professor encouraged Zweerink to enroll in RTB's volunteer apologists program. This involvement eventually led to a scholar position in 2005. Today, Zweerink writes and speaks on the compatibility of science and the Christian faith and on evidence for intentional design from multiverse theory and exoplanets, as well as artificial intelligence (AI). His speaking engagements take him to universities, conferences, churches, high schools, youth groups, and other venues around the world. His books include Is There Life Out There?, Who's Afraid of the Multiverse?, Escaping the Beginning?, and Building Bridges (coauthor). He has also made many media appearances on television, radio, and in print. Zweerink and his wife, Lisa, live in Southern California and have five children.

On this episode of the OneHaas Alumni Podcast, meet Sri Josyula, an EWMBA 25 and Product Management Leader for Seller Experience at Max Retail.Growing up in Hyderabad, India, Sri was surrounded by books and academia. Both her parents hold PhDs and spent their careers as Professors which gave her early exposure to a lifelong learning mindset. After moving to the U.S. and earning a master's degree from the University of Southern California, Sri built a career in tech, but never wanted to stop challenging herself.Sri joins host Sean Li to dig into what it really takes to pursue an MBA as a working parent. They also explore the support systems that made it all possible, how she built that community of support, and is now giving back to it through her substack, “Raising The Bar (And Kids)”, a place for parents who are navigating ambitious career moves alongside family life.*OneHaas Alumni Podcast is a production of Haas School of Business and is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:On carving her own pathways in her career“ I always want to find myself in an uncomfortable place, meaning, "Hey, if this is too comfortable for me, that's really not something I want to continue doing," because learning always comes when you are stretching yourself, you are finding yourself in a place that you don't find comfort in.”On growing up in a home with professors“Regardless of the time of day, my house was always full of books — both my parents poring through them, their lecture notes, all of it. So I think this was my very early start of "student always," without even realizing I was absorbing all of this, just constantly seeing my parents read, reread, and revise their lecture notes to make them better year after year.”On the importance of creating community and support systems“ I grew up believing that you help people just because you have to help them.You don't help people expecting something in return. And when you genuinely do something, it does come back to you…When you are there for somebody, they really want to be there for you when you need it the most. And I think this is how a genuine relationship is cultivated.”On why the MBA was worth it“My biggest takeaway as a parent going through the program was this essential shift in mindset that the time you invest in yourself is not time taken away from your family. You're expanding the pie for everybody in your family because they're all growing with you.”Show Links:LinkedIn ProfileRaising The Bar (And Kids) | Substack

Episode Description:In this episode of Conceptually Speaking, I sit down with Dr. Joseph Allen Boone, Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Southern California, to discuss his new book from Columbia University Press, The Melville Effect: A Literary Afterlife Across the Arts. According to Boone, we are living through a second Melville revival. The first, in the 1920s, was engineered by critics who pulled Melville out of obscurity and streamlined him into an American answer to European modernism. Our current renaissance is being driven by artists working in painting, collage, performance, musical theater, video, fiction, and more besides. Our conversation works through why Melville has been “having a moment” as it were. Part of the answer he offers is thematic, since a novel that already contains globalism, extraction, ecological collapse, and racial encounters will feel resonant with our current moment despite when it was authored. The larger part, however, is shaped by its form. Moby-Dick opens with a dictionary page, moves through etymologies and epigraphs borrowed from the commonplace book tradition, drops in a sermon, a Shakespearean soliloquy, a play script, legal affidavits, and parodic scientific taxonomy, and absorbs the whole media explosion of the 1840s and 50s along the way. Boone calls this aesthetic hybridity, and it is one the reasons Melville is legible as a companion to artists who work in our era of pastiche, collage, mashup, and remix. We also get into the pedagogical stakes, including an inspiring call for more arts integration and multimodal approaches to teaching canonical works.Key Concepts from the Episode:Aesthetic HybridityMelville's formal promiscuity could be seen as an exploration of the way form shapes content, which is the same question contemporary multimedia artists are asking about their creative use of diverse media and materials.Boone borrows the counterpane scene as his governing metaphor. Ishmael wakes unable to distinguish the crazy quilt from Queequeg's tattooed arm, and that indistinction, where the parts refuse to resolve into a pattern but cohere anyway, describes both Melville's method and the work being made from him.Consider how you might bring aesthetic hybridity into your classroom. What different mediums and materials could you bring into the patchwork quilt of your own curriculum?Literary History as AfterlifeThe reason literary history reads as dead is that we treat it as exclusively retrospective. Boone's counterclaim is that it is also progressive, continually reconstituted by whoever is currently reading and remixing it.The project of extending a text's afterlife cannot be accomplished through genuflection and submission. Instead, readers and creators should see themselves as participating in an ongoing production or a work and its related legacy.Consider what it might look like to have your students participate in the ongoing production of a text's literary afterlife. How might you balance scaffolding their ability to engage with the text and giving them agency to take it new places?Gaps as Sites of InquiryAbsence functions as invitation. Melville gives Mrs. Ahab two sentences in the whole of Moby-Dick, and artists have built collage cycles, a stage production, and a novel out of that gap. Reading what is not present can be a powerful act of critical framing and reading.The same logic drives the queer readings of Pierre, where James Creech's criticism, Maurice Sendak's illustrations, and Elizabeth Schultz's reading of a broom closet in the plates each produce something that is in the text and not in the text at once. Creative and critical readings provide us with the ability to construct new narratives that complicate the legacy of traditional works.Consider the gaps that exist in the literary works that you teach. Who is not featured or mentioned? Who appears briefly and why? How can you invite students to explode those glimpses into something bigger?Regular readers of Becoming Literary will recognize some of my favorite throughlines. This is a conversation about how we can move beyond treating canon as a collection of revered, pedestal placed texts and start treating it as a site of debate and dialogue. It is an invitation to see hybrid interpretive work as a legitimate mode of literary knowledge production, and an opportunity to move the field forward without leaving its past behind. I hope you enjoy the episode and answer its call!Links:The Melville Effect: A Literary Afterlife Across the ArtsDr. Joseph Allen Boone's WebsitePodMatchPodMatch Automatically Matches Ideal Podcast Guests and Hosts For InterviewsSupport the show

Some people change the game on the court. Others change it behind the scenes in ways most fans never see. Jerica Williams has done both. In this episode of SportsLifeTalk's You Got Next, we sit down with one of the most influential voices in girls' basketball—a former Division I player, championship-winning coach, entrepreneur, leadership advocate, and Nike Girls EYBL Grassroots Consultant whose impact is helping shape the future of women's basketball.From growing up in Southern California to earning a scholarship to UCLA before continuing her career at San Diego State, Jerica's journey has never followed the traditional path. She opens up about discovering basketball at age 10, how a simple free-throw contest changed her life, and the lessons that carried her from player to coach, executive, and one of the most respected evaluators in the sport.Throughout the conversation, Jerica shares what it takes to build winning cultures, develop elite athletes, and create opportunities for young women to succeed both on and off the court. Whether coaching at the high school level, leading programs to championships, serving on a Division I men's basketball staff, or now helping guide the Nike EYBL, her mission has remained the same—serve others and leave the game better than she found it.One of the most powerful parts of this episode centers around Her Story, the groundbreaking platform Jerica created to amplify the voices of girls and young women in sports. She explains why highlights only tell part of the story and why helping young athletes discover the power of their own voice may be even more important than their performance on the court. Her vision has become one of the most meaningful storytelling platforms in girls' basketball today.Jerica also delivers one of the most inspiring conversations we've ever had about leadership, discipline, and personal growth. She explains why motivation comes and goes, but discipline lasts, why relationships matter more than rankings, and why creating pathways for others has become her life's purpose.Then comes a deeply personal moment. Jerica courageously shares her year-long health journey after unexplained numbness, fatigue, and multiple hospital visits eventually led to the discovery of chronic iron deficiency. Her story is a powerful reminder to listen to your body, advocate for your own health, and never stop searching for answers. It's an emotional conversation that extends far beyond basketball and offers lessons everyone can benefit from.Listeners will also hear her thoughts on building the competitive standard of the Nike EYBL, evaluating talent, balancing leadership with motherhood, raising a highly recruited young quarterback, and what success truly looks like beyond wins and championships.This episode is packed with wisdom for athletes, coaches, parents, leaders, and anyone striving to make a lasting impact. Jerica Williams proves that true influence isn't measured by points scored—it's measured by the lives you help change.At SportsLifeTalk Media, our mission is to amplify the voices of the athletes, coaches, and leaders shaping the future of girls' and women's basketball.

Lately, there has been a lot of talk about why it is so difficult to raise families in this country. And the question of starting families is one of the unique and few spaces where the experience of women has been studied more than men. And while motherhood has attracted well-deserved attention, fatherhood has been relatively overlooked and often misunderstood.One of the researchers that has been changing this dynamic is Darby Saxbe, a clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at the University of Southern California. She has studied families and fathers for over two decades and just published a book, “Dad Brain: The New Science of Fatherhood and How It Shapes Men's Lives.”So KALW invited her to our live event space to talk about what we've learned in the last decade about the transformative power of fatherhood. She spoke to KALW Executive Producer and proud father Ben Trefny. He begins by talking about what it was like to become a dad.

For decades, rumors have swirled about massive,15 to 20-foot mako sharks patrolling the deep waters off Southern California. Long dismissed as fishermen's tales, new footage, along with a recently published photo capturing a mako that appears to push 15 feet, is now forcing scientists to rethink everything they know about these oceanic apex predators. Marine biologist Tristan Guttridge, alongside conservationist Kendyl Berna and shark tagger Keith Poe, leads an investigation to determine whether the world's biggest mako is real - and hunting in the coastal waters of Santa Catalina.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Reserve your spot today. ________________________ We spend years letting our pace be set for us, by employers and the calendar. Then retirement arrives and, for the first time, the tempo is ours to choose. In this conversation, science journalist Elizabeth Svoboda, author of The Art of Pacing, argues that most of us get can stuck oscillating between two extremes — the perpetual sprint and complete disengagement — and that the real skill is learning to move across a range of paces with intention. Elizabeth shares interesting and useful ideas, including “rigid flexibility” (from an Olympic runner), smart circadian-rhythm energy management, the freedom that “selective mediocrity” can create, and how identity can get intertwined with the pace we keep.  It’s a conversation about doing less of what drains you, so you have more for what matters most. Elizabeth Svoboda joins us from California. _________________________ Bio Elizabeth Svoboda is the author of The Art of Pacing: A Guide to Balancing Short-Term Demands with Long-Term Thriving. She is an award-winning science writer and contributor to Scientific American, Discover, The Boston Globe, The New York Times, and other publications.

| Two Incredible Armenian Success Stories | What does it take to build a legacy? In this powerful episode of **Between the Notes**, Paisan Kapitan sits down with two men whose journeys couldn't be more different—but whose determination led them to extraordinary success.

In Acts 16, Paul is doing exactly what Jesus called him to do, and the Holy Spirit keeps closing doors. He heads for Asia and gets blocked, tries Bithynia and gets blocked again, until finally a dream sends him to Macedonia.The question underneath the whole passage: can we trust the God of the no as much as the God of the yes? Closed doors are one of the main ways God guides his church, and Acts 16 shows what that has looked like for Paul, for Lydia, and what it might look like for us.Once Paul crosses into Macedonia, he ends up at a river outside Philippi and meets Lydia, a wealthy businesswoman whose heart the Lord opens as she listens. She gets baptized with her household and redirects her home, her resources, and her time toward what God is doing. A little further along, Paul meets Timothy, a young leader he takes under his wing and raises up for the mission.Running through all of it is a pointed question for the church in Southern California: are we consuming Jesus, or are we following him? Something wakes up in us when we stop treating faith like content and start reorganizing our lives around the one who is still actively leading his mission today.

On this week's Imperfect Paradise: LAist's Jared Bennett follows the case of a 70-year-old L.A. street vendor held at Adelanto for six months, what it took for his family to get him released, and what immigration advocates say is behind the shift in bond denials.

This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, we sit down for Table Talk with Joe Mackin of Sycuan Casino Resort, three years running as Southern California’s Best Poker Room. We talk San Diego vibes, and the upcoming Ante Up Poker Tour Stop in conjunction with the SoCal Classic. On Call the Floor, a bettor pushes chips and announces “one hundred” at the same time, but the stack comes up short. Was the floor right to lock him in at $85, or should verbal govern? Our Hand of the Week breaks down a $1/$3 spot with AQ suited, then I close with a One Outer on protecting your blinds, and why folding isn’t flinching. See you at the tables, A-Team.

The timing points to 2029-2030, matching the expiry of VW's production deal with Ford, and talks with Ford about the next generation's underpinnings are still ongoing.MG GO! PREVIEWS SMALL EV FOR 2027MG has unveiled the GO! concept at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a roughly four-metre B-segment electric hatchback designed at SAIC's U.K. studio that borrows MGB GT grille lines and vertical taillamp elements, with production due in 2027 and possibly badged MG 2. MG admits the show car is a "dressed up" version that will lose its bulging fenders, oversized wheels, tow hooks and diffuser, and while technical details are unconfirmed, industry coverage points to MG's front-drive E3/Urban architecture with modest LFP batteries to rival the Renault 5 E-Tech and Mini Cooper Electric.TESLA OPENS FIRST PUBLIC SEMI MEGACHARGERTesla has opened its first public Megacharger station for Semi fleets in Bloomington, California, about an hour east of Los Angeles, with six stalls each capable of up to 1.2 MW and access for all Tesla Semi commercial fleet customers. The launch was confirmed by Tesla Charging on X and marked with a ribbon-cutting attended by trucking, fleet and charging figures, with the San Bernardino County site chosen for its position on the freight corridor linking the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to Southern California's warehouse network.USED EVS OUTPACE PETROL CARS IN BRITAINSteep fuel prices have driven a surge in British used-EV demand, with Autotrader's July fastest-selling ranking filled entirely by electrified models for the first time — eight of them fully electric, double last year's tally — led by the MG ZS at 13 days against a 24-day average for used EVs and 30 days across all fuel types. Average used-EV prices rose 1.6% year-on-year to £24,662 ($33,225), the first increase since December 2022, and Autotrader's Marc Palmer says that unlike past Middle East-driven spikes tied to events such as the US-Israeli war on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz closure, this demand has been sustained while the ten slowest sellers were all petrol or diesel.LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS LEAD GERMAN EV SUBSIDY APPROVALSHandelsblatt reports that 48% of approvals under Germany's new EV subsidy scheme have gone to households with taxable income up to €45,000 ($51,300), according to data from a parliamentary inquiry by Left Party lawmaker Jorrit Bosch, with lower-income buyers eligible for up to €6,000 ($6,840) on new BEVs, range-extenders and select plug-in hybrids depending on vehicle type, income and family size. The programme launched in January to replace the flat-rate scheme scrapped abruptly in late 2023, and environment ministry figures show foreign manufacturers took most of the support, with only two of the 14 most-subsidised brands being German as Germany's EV fleet passed 2.2 million by early April 2026.SUBARU CUTS 2027 SOLTERRA PRICE IN CANADASubaru Canada has cut the 2027 Solterra's starting MSRP to $47,995, $4,500 below the 2026 model and just under the country's $50,000 EVAP threshold, which restores its eligibility for the federal rebate worth up to $5,000. Subaru quotes an effective starting figure of $46,727 with delivery, dealer fees and the rebate included, against $55,285 for the current 2026 car, with the updated model due at Canadian dealerships later this year.CANADA CLEARS 6,531 CHINA-MADE EV IMPORTSCanada had imported 6,531 China-made EVs by July 14, leaving roughly 75% of the 24,500-vehicle first-half quota unused, with arrivals starting in May and building through June and July but falling well short of the allowance. Ottawa will keep the current quota open through August before adding a further 24,500 vehicles plus any unused first-half volume for September through February 2027; Global Affairs Canada does not break the figures down by brand, but Shanghai-built Tesla Model 3s are presumed to dominate, Lotus has accounted for nearly two dozen and Polestar is expected to resume Polestar 2 imports in August.DONGFENG MOVES INTO CANADIAN EV MARKETDongfeng plans to enter Canada's EV market under the low-tariff quota created by Mark Carney's deal with China earlier this year, showing the Vigo and Nammi Box 01 to buyers at an Old Port event in Montreal this week while it completes regulatory certification. North World Industry will handle distribution, and the company is starting with consumer awareness before sales, aiming to launch its first two models next year.KIA PITCHES SMALL EV VAN FOR CANADIAN FLEETSKia Canada has pitched the PV5 as a compact electric cargo van for small businesses and urban fleets, offering about 160 cubic feet of cargo volume and targeting tradespeople, last-mile delivery firms and telecom operators that do not need a full-size vehicle. The real test may be size rather than range or price, given GM pulled its Ontario-built BrightDrop vans — offering 400 or 600 cubic feet — from the market last fall after weak sales, while Kia calls the smaller PV5 an answer to an "unmet need".GEELY SETS E2 PRICE BELOW €20,000 IN ITALYGeely will launch the E2 small electric hatchback in Italy in October at a promotional €19,900, undercutting the Citroen e-C3 at €20,490 and sitting just above the BYD Dolphin Surf at €19,790; the same car is sold as the EX2 in the U.K. and the Xingyuan in China, where it was last year's best-selling model with 160,800 wholesale deliveries in the first five months of this year. In Europe's small-EV class the Renault 5 E-Tech leads with 36,575 sales, up 35%, ahead of the e-C3 on 17,859 (down 11%), the Dolphin Surf on 15,072 and the Peugeot e-208 on 10,546, up 23%.HOYMILES LAUNCHES UL 3700 BALCONY SOLAR INVERTERHoymiles has launched the HiFlow Pro, which it says is the first US microinverter certified under UL 3700, the new safety standard for plug-in balcony solar, a model already popular in Europe — especially Germany — that lets homeowners and renters run portable panels through a standard outlet instead of a rooftop install. Eight states had signed plug-in solar bills into law as of July 2026 — Utah, Maine, Virginia, Maryland, Colorado, Connecticut, Vermont and New Hampshire — with New York's awaiting the governor's signature as of July 16 and nearly 30 states having introduced legislation, while safeguards must prevent the reversed power flow from feeding the grid during outages; a single 360W unit produces up to 721.08 kWh a year and up to four can run in parallel across separate outlets.RUSSIAN FUEL SHORTAGES PUSH DRIVERS TO EVSUkrainian strikes on energy targets have tightened Russian fuel supplies, bringing hours-long queues and rising gasoline and diesel prices that are pushing some motorists towards electric cars, including engineer Oksana Yasinskaya, 36, who told Automotive News the queues settled her decision to buy an EV and that she values not wasting hours on what she called a humiliating wait, with some drivers queuing late at night. Autostat says EV and plug-in hybrid sales accelerated in June as shortages worsened and expects the tiny market to grow if the crisis drags on, though it still leans on used cars rather than fresh showroom demand.
