BMX SolidSafe Air ZDNET’s key takeaways The BMX SolidSafe Air is available now for $60. It’s the thinnest Qi2 power bank I’ve tested, with a semi-solid-state battery that’s safer and less flammable than regular lithium-ion batteries. It’s rather expensive for a power bank.

Western Australia’s biggest dairy is investing thousands of dollars into building its own power supply, hoping to bypass unreliable electricity from the grid and costly fuel to cut production costs. Peninsula Downs has been operating for more than 70 years and has eight properties across Scott River and Warner Glen in the state’s South West region. For decades, the business has relied on grid electricity and diesel generators to power centre pivot irrigation, which pumps groundwater...

Regarding the latter, this phone has a 4,870 mAh battery, and it holds up pretty well, as shown in our hands-on review of the Pixel 10 Pro. Plus, it’s the perfect middle device in GoogleR...

Small Suzuki has already made significant progress in the development of solid-state batteries. By acquiring a business unit, the brand suddenly has expertise dating back to 2006, although that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be able to buy a Suzuki with such a battery tomorrow. Suzuki Motor Corporation is acquiring Kanadevia’s solid-state operations. Kanadevia, formerly Hitachi Zosen, has been developing the holy grail of batteries since 2006—solid-state batteries. Apparently, they’ve...

At first glance, the Aria EV doesn’t look much different from any other student-built electric prototype—no different from the battery-powered cars built by engineering students from dozens of universities every year. Beneath its panels, however, is a challenge to the modern auto industry: What if electric vehicles were designed to be repaired by their owners? The Aria project began in 2024, when roughly 20 students assembled at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands under the...

Soon after Google gave us our first glimpse of the Pixel 10a, it attracted plenty of heat. Looks identical to its predecessor. A no-upgrade chip situation. A similar status for the camera. And display. And battery. That’s a lot to take in.   It’s almost as if Google pulled an Apple. And somehow, did worse.  But there’s more to this phone than meets the eye. I have only had the chance to push it as my daily driver for a week, which is not enough for a full review. But that spell still ga...

Kenyan electric mobility firm Roam on Tuesday launched Roam Explorer, an artificial intelligence-driven platform designed to track and manage electric vehicle fleets across Africa in real time, including in areas with poor connectivity. The platform connects electric motorcycles, tuk-tuks, buses and cars to a central system that monitors battery health, performance, location and usage. Roam said the system addresses a major challenge in Africa’s electric mobility transition: the lack of visibi...
