For some wealthy Americans, a stamp just won't cut it as a ballot-delivery device: they're determined to cast their votes in person. According to Business Insider, some wealthy voters are chartering private planes to get to the polls in their home state on Election Day. Private jet charter company evoJets says at least four customers have booked flights specifically to vote, and all of those are headed to swing states. Two of the chartered trips are to Florida, which has 29 electoral votes. Two jet-setters booked flights from popular quarantine getaways to get to their swing states. One is flying from Colorado to Pennsylvania, which has 20 electoral votes. Another is headed from Wyoming to Ohio, which has 18 electoral votes. Even for a same-day round trip, such journeys can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

It has been named France’s favourite car, become an international bestseller and won two Car of the Year awards in Europe.

Porsche AG is laying the groundwork for the further electrification of its model lines: The sports car manufacturer has decided to manufacture the future all-electric Cayenne at Volkswagen Slovakia’s multi-brand location in Bratislava. After the Taycan (since 2019), the Macan (in 2024) and the 718 (middle of the decade), the Cayenne will become the sports car manufacturer’s fourth model line with an all-electric powertrain. Porsche has already announced a further all-electric SUV above the Cayenne for the second half of the decade. That model will be produced at the Porsche factory in Leipzig.The Cayenne has been stamping its mark on the sporty SUV segment for over 20 years. Its success remains undimmed. With 95,604 delivered units in its anniversary year of 2022, the Cayenne posted the highest demand among all Porsche model lines. Since production began in 2002, the Cayenne has been closely associated with Bratislava. In the early days, the painted bodies were sent from there to Leipzig. With the third generation of the SUV, production moved entirely to Bratislava in 2017. Since then, the site has produced models with combustion engines and plug-in hybrid powertrains.
With the City-Car Spring, Dacia presents its first battery-electric model. The new development shows how the strengths of the brand can be implemented in a modern electric vehicle. The Spring combines a purely electric drive with a stylish SUV design, reliable technology and an unbeatable price-performance ratio. With a base price of 20,490 euros, the Dacia model is the most affordable electric car in Germany. The battery capacity of 27.4 kWh, the electric motor with 33 kW / 44 PS power, as well as DC and AC charging up to 30 kW enable everyday ranges in city traffic. Dacia will be offering the Spring from autumn 2021.The lithium-ion battery of the Dacia Spring allows a range in the practical WLTP test cycle of up to 230 kilometers. A WLTP range of 305 kilometers is possible in city traffic. Based on the average daily mileage of small car users in Europe, which is 30 kilometers, these values allow use in an urban environment for more than a week without stopping charging. The range can be further increased by using the energy-saving ECO mode.The flexible charging system allows the battery of the city car to be supplied with energy via Schuko charging at a standard household socket, via a wallbox and, optionally, via a DC charging station.
