As US senate majority leader Mitch McConnell debates making cuts to social security and medicare, Senator Dean Heller (R) of Nevada is hoping to keep electric car sales zipping forward with a new bill that would extend tax credits until 2022.
I love the concept of e-cars for their environmental friendliness but, honestly, my advice would be to never date someone who drives one! My partner’s e-car can travel a whopping 100 miles between each 8 hour charge which means I’m always the one stuck behind the wheel. If only he had access to a Volt drone, then I might actually get to chill out in the passengers seat for once!
The design takes portable charging to the next level. In fact, I can’t recall ever seeing a mobile car charger let alone one that flies. The subscription service is accessible via app. Whether it’s on long road trips where there are few charging stations or simply between spots in town, users can order a charging Volt drone to ensure their vehicle always has enough power to get them from point A to point B.

I have to drive 40 miles and the 2016 Chevy Volt says I only have about 23 miles of charge left in the battery. No biggie: I have three quarters of a tank of gas. I hit the accelerator and the car's two electric motors push me onto the highway. Plug-...

Here’s a clock that will fit right into an electronics enthusiast’s workshop. Made by Awkward Engineer, the AWK-105AL is an alarm clock that looks like an analog voltmeter.
The AWK-105AL is an improved version of Awkward Engineer’s first voltmeter clock, the AWK-105. Like its predecessor, the AWK-105AL has separate meters for hours and minutes and a mode where the needles twitch at random times. But this newer clock has an alarm function, an AM/PM indicator and optional backlit displays. In addition the AWK-105AL is powered via USB while the AWK-105 requires an AA battery. The video below shows us how the AWK-105 works, but it applies to the AWK-105AL as well.
The AWK-105AL without a backlight sells for $169 (USD) while the backlit one goes for $189. It comes in gray or olive. The AWK-105 on the other hand sells for $139.
