Christine Romero-Chan / Digital Trends I’ll be honest with you — I don’t have much of a green thumb. I’ve tried to keep flowers alive for at least a week when I am gifted them, but they don’t seem to last more than a few days. I’ve tried to keep the front lawn of my house watered, but that doesn’t always happen every day due to me doing everything else that needs to get done and just being tired. I do love having plants for decor, but again, dead plants don’t look great. That’s why I tend to lean toward fake plants…

Nissan is gearing up for a major transition as it gears up to go all-electric in the UK. The automaker announced it would stop building ICE vehicles in Europe in September. After announcing sweeping plans for an electric future, Nissan is doubling down on EVs. Last week, the company revealed that it…

While the 2024 Porsche Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid isn’t exactly the most environmentally-friendly plug-in hybrid you could choose, there’s an updated version of the Stuttgart super-sedan on the way next year, and it packs a 25.9kWh battery. For those of you keeping score at home, that’s 1.8kWh more capacity than an entire first-generation Nissan Leaf gave you. Not bad. Porsche is putting that extra capacity to good use, with a claimed electric-only range of 91 km (56 miles) for the Turbo E-Hybrid,…

There is impressive, there is spectacular and there is Savanah Leaf – not yet 30 and already accumulating giddying lifetime achievements. At the age of 18, she played volleyball for Team GB at the 2012 Olympics. Then came a psychology degree. After that she returned to volleyball, turning pro and touring Turkey and Puerto Rico. Then, in 2015, an injury put her out of action for 18 months. “My whole world shifted,” she said. “I had to figure out what I was going to do next.”Leaf signed up to a course in music video…

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland are investigating a way to recover the metallic content of EV batteries with bioengineered bacteria. The new method involves processing spent Nissan Leaf batteries into a “leachate” — a liquified battery slurry — and combining that slurry with said microbes. The method isn’t described in a lot of detail, admittedly. Other than saying the bacteria used was selected and specifically engineered for the process, which occurs inside a bioreactor,…
