Any time you hit the road, whether you're taking a short or long trip, it's a good idea to have backups handy. A spare or backup tire, some anti-freeze, windshield wash fluid, a road hazard kit, and, last but not least, one of the best portable tire inflators and a portable jump starter. You never know when cold weather, inadvertently leaving the dome light on, or plain old Father Time can curse you with a dead battery.

Now, the company is developing that same technology with an eye toward powering aluminum smelters and long-haul shipping. Nearly a decade ago, Peter Godart, Found Energy's co-founder and CEO, was a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

With the COVID-19 pandemic declared over, a significant question for politicians, planners, and pundits alike is what to do with city centers and old urban cores after the pandemic pushed many Americans to move away from dense urban areas. For many, the central city remains an idealized version of spatial organization, serving as an engine of creativity, innovation, opportunity, upward mobility, and the height of civilization itself.

Canada is spending more to help automakers build out electric vehicle supply chains in the country as part of its yearslong effort to attract new auto investments and compete with the U.EV subsidies enacted under President Joe Biden. The tax credit, included in the government's new 2024 budget proposal, offers manufacturers a 10% subsidy on the capital cost of buildings used in "key segments" of EV production and is designed to build on an existing tax credit Canada passed in 2023 to subsidize 30% of EV makers' equipment costs.
