If you've ever been in a predicament where you've run out of battery at the worst time possible, you probably want to have a charger that's easier to use and access all the time, no matter where you are. But which one do you get, since there are so many out there and more being manufactured all the time? We've found a particularly good one that you won't want to miss, and it's on sale for an excellent price.

Mazda will begin selling a new electric mid-size SUV in Europe this year. It's not coming to the U.S. The CX-6e will compete with models such as the Tesla Model Y, BMW iX3 and Audi Q4 e-tron. It looks sharp and gets a high-tech interior. Mazda has been late to the electric vehicle party, but it's finally picking up the pace in a market that doesn't reward laggards.

The Hyundai Staria Electric is powered by an 84-kilowatt-hour battery that enables a WLTP combined range of 248 miles. It's not based on the E-GMP platform, but it borrows its best feature. This is the Hyundai Staria Electric, a battery-powered minivan that will compete with models like the Volkswagen ID. Buzz and Kia PV5 when it goes on sale later this year in Europe and Korea.

Replete with sleek, vintage-vibe features including a swept back concave windshield, meticulously hand-stitched sheet for two, emblematic street tires, and an exposed suspension frame only just keeping the electric engine in place. The removable 2.8 kWh (40 Ah) lithium battery, delivering up to 55 miles of range, can be replaced with a 3.6 kWh (50 Ah) pack to reach 70 miles. Both feature regenerative braking and built-in charge ports.

It means "improvement"often the continuous, gradual, methodical kind. And Toyota's first electric vehicles, including the Subaru Solterra, badly needed some of it. On paper, those EVs should've capitalized on the uber-popularity of cars like the Toyota RAV4 and the Subaru Forester. Instead, the original Solterra offered middling range figures, delivered abysmal fast-charging times and lacked key EV software features, like automatic route-planning. Its Toyota twin, the bZ4X, had all of the same problems.

For starters, the Taycan's range increased from a maximum of 246 miles for model year 2024 to more than 300 miles for the current model year. Its peak charging rate also increased from 270 kilowatts to 320 kW, reducing the 10-80% charging time by roughly 3.5 minutes when plugged into a fast enough DC fast charger. Behind the scenes, Porsche made a raft of changes to make all of that possible.

Sometimes in life, you can do everything right and still not come out on top. Take the Kia EV6, for example. It really deserves to be a bigger hit than it's been. Here's a competitively priced electric vehicle with around 300 miles of range, solid performance, striking looks, decent practicality, and some of the best fast-charging performance you can get under $100,000. Yet it hasn't exactly lit up the sales charts.

The display is the same across the two phones. It's a 6.75-inch 1-120Hz LTPO OLED panel with a 1280x2832px resolution, 1.07 billion colors, and full coverage of the P3 color gamut. The screen has 1440Hz PWM dimming and a 300Hz touch sampling rate. Huawei claims the panel is the brightest ever on a phone reaching up to 8,000 nits! The protective sheet on top is the second-gen Kunlun Glass.

It's called the Dectravalve and it can be fitted to any battery, no matter the chemistry. The device can independently cool or heat up to four independent battery zones with no cross-flow and a single inlet. Keeping an electric car's battery in the right temperature zone is essential. That's why almost all new EVs have some sort of heating and cooling system that ensures the battery can be fast-charged safely and that it will deliver as many miles of range as possible, whatever the weather.

Black Friday is still a few weeks away, but Amazon has already kicked off early deals ahead of the big shopping event. If you meant to pick yourself up a portable charger, you haven't missed your chance just yet. Amazon now has the Anker laptop power bank on sale for 32% off. Usually this portable charger is priced at $135, but the deal has it down under a hundred at just $92. This 32% discount ends up saving you $43 for a limited time.

The idea of owning an electric car was something futuristic. The concept of people's silent rides, zero emissions, and avoiding the petrol pump was loved by people. However, it was not that difficult to get a car but to charge it. Drivers were concerned about the long drive when they would run out of power or spend hours recharging. That story is changing fast.

The pair of is also bundled with a charging station to keep one ready while you work. Each battery features a lightweight design to help reduce fatigue during long work hours or focused projects. Each battery also uses Bosch's CoolPack 2.0 technology to help prevent overheating and extend the life of your batteries. The included charger uses fast-charging tech to fully charge your batteries in as little as 65 minutes, so you can spend less time waiting and more time getting things done.

SteelSeries has long been recognized for setting benchmarks in gaming audio, and with the launch of the Arctis Nova 7 Gen 2 Wireless headset, the brand once again reinforces its leadership in the intersection of gaming performance, lifestyle design, and innovation. The latest iteration in the award-winning Arctis Nova series delivers more control, more power, and more versatility, offering a refined experience that caters to modern gamers and multitaskers alike.

One of the things that was made clear in the Eurocharge 2025 EV road trip that I took part in a few weeks back was just how big an impact speed has on an electric car's range. On the days that required mostly or only highway driving, which means cruising at a constant 80 mph (130 km/h) here in Europe, all eight EVs in the group lost around 40% of their range.

The M5 is a brand new chip being launched alongside today, and will also be making an appearance on the 14-inch MacBook Pro and the Apple Vision Pro. It has up to a 10-core CPU layout with up to 4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores. Much like with the M4, Apple once again claims that the performance cores in the M5 are the world's fastest CPU cores. It's combined with a new 10-core GPU design that also features dedicated neural accelerators in each core.

The Volvo EX90 was supposed to put Sweden on the map as a leader in electric and software-defined vehicles (SDVs). But while the SUV is impressive, its buggy software turned its launch into a spiraling mess, with lawsuits from angry owners, a Reddit page replete with horror stories related to software bugs and a scathing review from Consumer Reports. Now, for model year 2026, Volvo is trying extremely hard to right those wrongs with a sweeping upgrade for the EX90. There's new hardware, improved software, a heavily upgraded electrical architecture and a stack of new features that should finally make the SUV live up to its initial hype.

We see them more useful for larger vehicles, because basically, you remove your range anxiety, and then you can, you can get [the] longer distances which are driven by the American consumer,

Forgive us for making a sweeping assumption, but we're going to take a stab and say your car's phone-charging situation could use a massive upgrade. Maybe your USB ports are located in that impossible to reach compartment behind the shifter, or your overly long cord is constantly getting in the way. Any shortcomings you might be dealing with are instantly fixable for a tiny price while Amazon is running this limited-time $25 deal on the 75W Anker Nano Car Charger.

While it's taking over for your alarm clock, the Anker MagGo is also bringing fast charging to your iPhone and your AirPods, so they're both fully loaded when you wake up. The two built-in LED lights let you see that each device is charging, and charging quickly: An iPhone 15 Pro will go from dead to 25% charged in just 21 minutes on the Anker MagGo, nearly half the time a 7.5W charger takes.

It's not an entirely new idea given Nomad's Universal Cable from earlier this year can charge an Apple Watch and an additional device at the same time, but Zens' new Pro 2 and Pro 3 USB-C cables offer additional functionality and some welcome future-proofing as chargers become more powerful. The cheaper of the two is the €49.99 (around $58) Pro 2 USB-C charging cable that includes an inline Qi2 charging puck that can wirelessly charge a smartphone or earbuds at up to 15W speeds.

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra may have a huge camera island, according to the latest rumor from a few hours ago, but unfortunately the same cannot be said about its battery. While there have been a few rumors hoping for at least a 10% increase in capacity from the S25 Ultra's 5,000 mAh to 5,500 mAh, other rumors shot down the idea and they were apparently right.
