Fisker’s Tesla competitor has 400 mile range and charges in just 9 minutes Posted: 12 Jun 2017 01:37 PM PDT Henrik Fisker is a bit of a legend in the automotive design world, so when he announced that he was working on an all-new electric vehicle that would both challenge Tesla's Model S, and serve as the spiritual successor to the Fisker Karma, there was plenty of interest. Fisker first teased the new car in late 2016, but now we have our first real look at the vehicle and it sure is fancy. https://twitter.com/FiskerOfficial/status/873584846324379648 The car, called the Fisker EMotion, will be the first vehicle under the newly formed Fisker Inc. — Fisker sold his Fisker Automotive brand in early 2014, and it was subsequently renamed Karma Automotive — and is one of two planned electric cars from the company, with the second unnamed vehicle being designed for mass market appeal rather than the luxury sector like the EMotion. The EMotion is definitely a sleek, beautiful car, but what should really get electric car buffs excited is the technology that is packed into it. Fisker says the vehicle is designed with a 400-mile range in mind — beating the sub-350-mile range of the Tesla Model S handily — as well as a fast-charging feature that will allow it to juice up in just nine minutes. That's incredibly fast, but Fisker says the car relies on patent-pending battery technology designed by researchers at UCLA, and abandons the typical lithium-ion battery trend in favor of supercapacitors using graphene. The car has a top speed of 161 miles per hour, and will be capable of driving autonomously, though its self-driving capabilities may not be activated until after its retail launch. Pricing and other minor details are still unclear.

Back in November, OPEC members agreed to cut production by 1.2 million barrels per day for six months beginning from the start of the year in a bid to reduce the glut of oil supplies on the shore up prices.

Sprint is giving away an entire year of unlimited data for free Posted: 13 Jun 2017 12:11 PM PDT Most cellphone plan deals normally come with all kinds of strings attached. Get a free iPhone! -- provided you buy two other iPhones, port three lines from another carrier, add insurance, and accept payment in the form of a Diners Club International gift card. So when Sprint quietly announced that it'll give you a year of free unlimited service, I assumed that it would only apply to people who buy a new Essential phone, or perhaps require a pledge of personal fealty to Marcelo Claure. But actually, it's a lot simpler than that. With Sprint's new deal, all you need to do is bring your number and eligible phone (basically any recent iPhone or Android) over from one of the other big mobile networks, and Sprint will give you service for free, for one year. You get unlimited talk, text and data, plus 10GB of hotspot data and even mobile roaming. All you have to pay per line is taxes, which is a couple bucks a month. Even better is that there's no limit on the number of lines you can bring over. If you've got a family on Verizon or T-Mobile, you could be saving well over $1,000 a year, even if you're not all on unlimited plans. Of course, the big catch here is Sprint's network. Studies consistently put it in last place of the big four networks, with coverage and speed that just doesn't rival T-Mobile or Verizon. If you're committing to making the jump for a year, I'd recommend picking up a SIM and testing it in your phone for a week or two first to make sure you can still get coverage at home and at work. The bigger question here is what Sprint's really hoping to achieve. You don't have to be a genius to work out that giving away cell service doesn't make money, and there's a good chance that people will switch back to a different provider (or take advantage of one of the other carrier's switching offers) at the end of the year, and Sprint will have given you a year of service for nothing. The most cynical answer is that Sprint is trying to artificially fluff subscriber numbers before a potential merger or sale of the company, which Sprint's Japanese owner is said to be actively looking to do. Suddenly adding a bunch of postpaid customers -- even customers that aren't actually paying any money -- looks good for any potential buyer, providing they forget to check the deals section of Sprint's website first.

Panama cuts ties with Taiwan, switches to China Posted: 12 Jun 2017 09:19 PM PDT Panama and China announced on Tuesday they were establishing diplomatic relations, as the Central American nation became the latest to dump Taiwan for closer ties with the world's second-largest economy. The move prompted an angry response from Taiwan and will likely further strain ties between Taipei and Beijing, which considers the self-ruled island a renegade province awaiting reunification with the mainland. Taiwan is recognised by around 20 countries worldwide and its status is one of the most politically sensitive issues for Chinese leaders who pressure trade partners to accept its "one China" principle.
