CS Murkomen Explains Why Police Ask Kenyans for Fuel: “It’s Not Bribery”

Speaking at the Jukwaa La Usalama forum in Homa Bay town on Tuesday, Murkomen said such requests should not be mistaken for corruption. He noted that the government allocates 450 litres of fuel per police vehicle monthly, a figure he admitted falls far s...

Inside the rush to buy an electric vehicle

When I last shopped for a new car seven years ago, my primary focus was on style, size, and color.

Now, Bloomberg is back with the news that Tesla plans to redesign those problematic handles.  Tesla design head Franz von Ho...

Faster, Farther, Cheaper, and Safer Battery Advancements March On

Europe may seem slightly more eager to electrify its vehicle fleet than the U.S., so in addition to all the hybrid and plug-in hybrid tech on display at IAA Munich 2025, there was some battery news, as well. Rimac showed off a solid-state battery pack it developed with Pro-Logium and Mitsubishi Chemical Group, Chinese battery giant CATL displayed an LFP battery promising to be so long-lived it will improve resale value, and it teased a concept much like struggling Our Next Energy proposed: a dua...
