Volvo is starting to trickle out some details about its upcoming midsize electric SUV, the EX60, before its official debut January 21st. The EX60 will have an estimated range of 400 miles (or 810km based on the generous WLTP standard in Europe). That’s significantly more range than any previous Volvo EV — at least until the 434-mile-range ES90 sedan comes out. And the EX60 will be the first vehicle to benefit from the automaker’s new megacasting production process to reduce weight and improve manufacturing efficiency.“One of the things that we wanted to do was to create an electric vehicle with…

The Atlanta Hawks salary dumped Trae Young to the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night. It will be headlined as a trade, but Atlanta doesn’t care too much about which players it got back in the deal: CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert. No draft picks were involved either way. For the Hawks, this was about getting Young off their books and their roster so they can officially begin moving in the direction of a new franchise player. Maybe they already have that guy in Jalen Johnson. Maybe they’ll go get Anthony Davis. Either way, they’re done with the ball-dominant, defensively deficient point guard that has…

Alphabet’s market capitalization was $3.88 trillion at the close of trading on Wednesday—just a tiny bit higher than Apple’s $3.84 trillion. According to CNBC, it was the first time this happened since 2019.These companies were not in a steel cage with one another. Wall Street trading is not like dropping coins in a pair of coffee shop tip jars labeled “Chappell Roan” and “Taylor Swift.” Nonetheless, the timing makes it hard not to ignore the symbolic power of this milestone. After all, Apple is in the middle of a predictable stretch—on the verge of, well, releasing a lot of iPhones,…
