Eco update

Rental companies have beefed up their EV fleets and are offering them at substantial discounts. f you're not prepared, your trip could turn into an unexpectedly stressful experience. Here's what you need to know:

  • Get familiar with the car before leaving the rental lot. Ask questions: Rental agents don't often provide much instruction.
  • Know your rental's driving range and consider the potential impact of weather.
  • Explore charging options ahead of time. Some hotels have chargers —call ahead to verify.
  • Put the major charging network apps on your phone and set up billing ahead of time.

While Antarctica has not lost as much sea ice as the Arctic, as global warming progresses, the continent has been losing its ice at a faster rate. In a surprising new study, scientists from The Pennsylvania State University found that sea ice loss in Antarctica causes an increased amount of snowfall over its ice sheets, which leads to them contributing less to global sea level rise, reported Penn State.
