Inefficiencies in the form of heavy battery packs and low power densities have long limited not just the range and performance of EVs but the very forms they can take — there’s a reason Tesla started with a Roadster and not a Cybertruck. But steady advancements in power systems over the past few years — alongside skyrocketing demand for larger, electrified vehicles which cater to the US market — has led to a watershed moment in 2021: the emergence of EV pickups and SUVs. Yes, we all know the Model X exists and Tesla “did it first” — spare me your tweets — however, the sheer number and variety of new, pure EV pickup and SUV models either ready to hit the showroom floor or in acti

(KTVZ) -- With slick, icy roads and more cars on the road, the heavy duty supervisor for Consolidated Towing Inc. said he expects to be a lot busier towing vehicles. What Robert Lee did not expect in his nine years of towing, though, is the recent rise in semi-truck rollovers on one stretch of highway in Redmond. What's surprising, Lee said, is the number of semi-trucks that have rolled over or crashed on a curve on northbound Highway 97 near milepost 119. He said he knows of five semi-trucks that have crashed there just within the last month, and two only days apart. On Dec. 1, a semi- truck carrying cartons of oranges rolled over. Three days later, another semi with an empty trailer rolled in the exact same spot. Earlier in the year, Lee said, a steel truck full of m

https://tempeaztreasures.yahoosites.com/ After a collision sent one of his tow truck operators to hospital on Thursday, a towing company owner west of Edmonton is renewing a call for blue and amber lights to be allowed on roadside assistance vehicles in Alberta. Gregg Wilson owns APL Towing & Recovery, based in Spruce Grove and Stony Plain.  He said one of his employees was on Highway 16, near Range Road 22, to recover a vehicle from a median and had pulled onto the shoulder with his lights on to wait for a blocker unit to arrive. While he was waiting, another driver drove into his vehicle. The tow truck driver was sent to hospital and is now home, expected to make a full recovery. Both vehicles were badly damaged. Stories like this are all too common, Wilson told CBC News Friday morning. Just last week, there was a less serious but similar incident with another driver for the company. "We don't go a day without an incident or a close call," he said. Wilson said blue

https://tempeaztreasures.yahoosites.com/ MESA, Ariz. — An alleged car thief is suspected of obtaining dozens of fake permits from the Arizona Department of Transportation in order to get tow trucks to haul away stolen vehicles across Mesa.  Court records show Josue David Cora De La Rosa, 37, was arrested this month on suspicion of stealing at least seven vehicles throughout the East Valley.  According to a report written by the Mesa Police Department, investigators received reports for 15 similar cases of car theft happening in the city between July and October. In each instance, police said the suspect would fraudulently obtain a temporary 3-day registration permit online, print it out, then call local junkyards looking to buy used vehicles.  De La Rosa allegedly told Mesa police the tow truck driver would pay him up to $1,000 to take the car and scrap it for parts.    "None of the stolen property was recovered and is believed to have been destroyed," Mesa police wrote in a
