No more abandoned: 3 options for Enel X Way charging stations

Dealing with a defunct charger company October, Enel X Way North America Announce It will cease operations, leaving software features unavailable to users of the company's JuiceBox EV charger. While servers will be running for an unspecified period of time and battery charging functionality will still be available, the company insists they will be looking for a long-term solution (which has yet to be disclosed). While this news does not reassure users of JuiceBox charging stations, it means there is still time to migrate the Enel X Way JuiceBox 40 EV charger to the new Charging Station Management System (CSMS).

Arkansas State Police Gets Dropped By Honda Odyssey-Driving Suspect
Arkansas police officer abandoned by Honda Odyssey driver

Apparently, the officer did not resort to overly aggressive tactics and the suspect was found and arrested the next day November 15, 2024 15:09 Arkansas police lost a suspect who fled in a Honda Odyssey minivan. The suspect was captured the next day. He now faces multiple charges, including felony fugitive status. Arkansas police tend to catch suspects who run away. In fact, they seemed to have no problem maneuvering around traffic jams on the highway. That's why this video of a Honda Odyssey Escape is so surprising. Before you ask, no, the officer did not jump out of his cruiser at almost 100 mph and free himself from pursuit. This only seems to happen on rare occasions, like it did the other day.

Chinese Automakers Move Into Russian Plants Abandoned By The West
Chinese carmakers move into abandoned Russian factories

Chery is reportedly building cars at abandoned Mercedes, Nissan and Volkswagen factories October 10, 2024 17:10 Chery has reportedly started assembling cars at a Russian factory previously owned by Mercedes, Nissan and Volkswagen. It is said that after the withdrawal of Western brands, Chinese companies accounted for more than 50% of the country's new car sales. Russia is reportedly raising fees for imported vehicles, which could lead to more Chinese companies setting up shop in the country. Russia's invasion of Ukraine nearly three years ago led to many Western brands pulling out of the country due to sanctions and political pressure. That left a huge gap in the market for everything from cars to fast food, but those gaps have been filled by domestic and international options. One of the biggest winners appears to be Chinese automakers, with Reuters reporting that brands from the People's Republic of China account for more than 50% of new car sales in Russia. This…

It's unclear why this classic M5 sports sedan just ended up in a garage, but it might be worth salvaging Recently, a classic BMW E34 M5 was found abandoned in the garage of a mansion worth $1.5 million. The car appears to have been untouched since 2008, raising questions about the fate of its owner. Despite its age, the M5 produced from 1988 to 1995 is still a coveted car among car enthusiasts. We all love the excitement of finding a good barn. But these days, a more accurate term might be "garage find." Just as classic cars sit in dusty old barns for decades, more modern machines are often forgotten in garages. Case in point: A BMW E34 M5 was recently spotted parked quietly and neglected in an abandoned mansion. The performance sedan was discovered and photographed by two independent YouTube channels -big bank and silent hill exploration— with black exterior and ivory leather interior. The owner appears to…
