Ford to Build $3.5B EV Battery Plant in Michigan
By Associated Press
The plant will provide ‘generational opportunities’ for west Michigan and ‘make sure that production lines aren’t stalled by global shocks or shipping delays,’ said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
The factory near the city of Marshall would produce batteries with a lithium-iron-phosphate chemistry, which is cheaper than the current nickel-cobalt-manganese chemistry now used in many EV batteries.

The First All-Electric Commercial Airplane
hits the skies in the first test flight
By Tom Hale — IFLScience
Might commercial electric air flights finally have their time to shine?
Dubbed Alice, the plane is the brainchild of the Washington-based aerial engineering company Eviation. Powered by two magni650 electric propulsion units, it can reach a top speed of 481 kilometers per hour (298 miles per hour) without producing any carbon emissions. Since there are no jet engines or fossil fuels, it’s also way quieter and cheaper to fly than a conventional aircraft.

What to Know Before Purchasing an Electric Vehicle
By the Editors of Cars.com
So, you’ve decided it’s time to buy an electric vehicle. There are more electric cars than ever, with 30-plus unique models on sale in the first quarter of 2022 and more coming soon. Compared with a gas-powered car, you’ll have to consider how far you can travel before needing to recharge (range), as well as how to “refuel” an EV, including possible home improvements to support EV charging, how long it takes to charge and where to charge publicly. Not all EVs are created equal in their charging capabilities.
