One of the biggest reasons to buy an electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is the cost advantage of electricity versus gasoline. No matter where you live, electricity will be less expensive to use than gasoline. But calculating these costs requires learning a few new terms and rethinking the concept of a "full tank." Edmunds looks at the factors that determine the cost of charging an electric car, and we'll also share tips on how to save money in the long run.KWh is the new MPGFor starters, you'll need to think in terms of kilowatt-hours per hundred miles (kWh), which is the EV equivalent of miles per gallon. Specifically, an electric car's energy consumption is measured in kilowatt-hours per 100 miles (kWh/100 miles). That's the EPA number you'll see on an electric car's window sticker and in the owner's manual.To figure out your cost of charging at home, multiply your vehicle's kWh/100 miles figure by the electricity rate — the cost per kWh — for the time...Homeless World Cup makes US debut in California

AUSTIN (KXAN) – Attorneys for Nate Paul, a federally indicted real estate developer with unique ties to impeached Attorney General Ken Paxton, have asked the court to suspend currently scheduled deadlines, which could move a potential trial to 2024. They say millions of documents still need to be analyzed in the complex financial crimes case, according to an unopposed motion filed Tuesday.Paul, 36, was indicted in early June on eight counts of making false statements and reports to mortgage lenders and credit unions in 2017 and 2018 to secure multiple loans valued over $172 million for his businesses. Each count carries a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine.Paul pleaded not guilty to all counts in June, and a federal judge scheduled the case for trial on August 14. Paul’s defense says there’s far too much discovery material to absorb, and they need more time to review records, write motions, speak with witnesses and other preparations.

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 17:04:13 GMT
BASTROP, Texas (KXAN) -- A boil water notice was issued Thursday for customers within the Vista Ranch Water System in Bastrop. The affected area includes all of the Vista Ranch Water System. A release from the system said the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required Aqua Water Supply Corporation, the operator of Vista Ranch Water System, to notify customers to boil water before consumption, due to "conditions which have occurred recently in the water system." The release also said that portions of the water system experienced low pressure as a result of a water main break on July 13, and the loss of pressure "may have allowed harmful microbes into the water system."Once repairs are complete and the system is restored to normal operating conditions, the system will then be flushed with chlorinated water, and the boil water notice will only be lifted after tests confirm the water is safe to drink, the release said. As soon as Aqua WSC receives sample results, Aqua WSC wi...Best Paper Writing Services: 7 Tested Websites to Get Your A+

By MARGERY A. BECK and STEVE KARNOWSKIlong-running religious freedom case has come full circle, with a court ruling this week that a deeply conservative Amish community in Minnesota cannot be threatened with the loss of homes if its members don’t install septic systems to dispose of their bath, laundry and dish water.The state Court of Appeals on Monday found that members of the Swartzentruber Amish community in southeastern Minnesota don’t need to install septic systems to dispose of “gray water,” which is dirty water left from dishwashing, laundry, bathing, and other tasks not involving toilet waste. Two years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed court rulings that had required the group to install septic tanks.The Supreme Court ruling said governments can infringe on sincerely held religious beliefs only as a last resort and sent the case back to Minnesota, where the appellate panel ruled that state and local officials “failed to demonstrate a compelling state interest” to ...Are schools overstepping their boundaries on gender identity issues?

Progressives confidently contend that schools need not ask or inform parents about matters involving their child’s “gender identity” at school.Let’s try a thought experiment.Imagine the issue is religious identity rather than gender identity. Imagine that Canadian public schools teach children that they have souls. Imagine that select staff at every school are dedicated to ensuring the school is a safe space for spiritual exploration. Imagine that schools host special clubs for students to explore their spirituality. These clubs host guest speakers from outside of the school. Imagine that some students change their religious identity and adopt new names for themselves, which staff and students must use.Imagine that for some school activities, students are grouped with others who similarly spiritually self-identify. And imagine that students’ religious self-identification at school and participation in these clubs is kept secret from parents because “children don’t need parents’ perm...Latest news
