Honda SmartCharge beta program allows electric vehicle customers to reduce the environmental footprint of charging their car while earning monetary rewards. With plans to make two-thirds of its global automobile sales from electrified vehicles by 2030, Honda is introducing a new Honda SmartChargeTM beta program that allows electric vehicle customers to reduce the environmental footprint of charging their car while earning monetary rewards. Honda is the first automaker to introduce a program of this kind, and will roll out the program to Honda Fit EV customers. Electric vehicle customers typically plug in and charge their vehicles when they arrive home after work, but this early evening charge time is often when demand on the grid is highest and when electricity is the most expensive. Honda SmartChargeTM permits Fit EV customers to charge when electricity demand is low and when the availability of renewable energy is high.
If you've managed to avoid the economic carnage that is America today, Business Insider reports that now is a great time to save. However, financial experts underscore that it's completely fine to put your savings plan to one side if you've been let go or have lost your business. If you can save, examine your budget closely. Can you cut a bit deeper? Renegotiate phone and TV service rates, and shop around for cheaper insurance. While saving 10% of take-home pay is best in normal times, these are clearly not normal times. Now, shoot for 20%. Build an emergency fund first, then automate. Make extra money through side hustles, and see if your employer has a matching program. Good luck!
Business Insider contributor Kevin Panitch has a high-deductible health plan, and uses a health savings account, or HSA, to pay for medical costs. However, he was unaware for some time that the humble HSA is actually a hat trick of tax advantages. That's because the IRS allows the money in HSAs to be invested, and it grows tax-free. You can make tax-free contributions, and you can also make tax-free withdrawals to cover qualified medical expenses. If you use the funds after age 65 for non-medical expenses, you just pay normal taxes on the money. The account essentially becomes a second 401(k). Panitch wasn't alone in thinking that he could only 'save' the money in his HSA. In fact, only about 4% of people with these accounts invest the money!

Bucharest (Romania), May 28 (EFE / EPA), (Camera: Robert Ghement).- The coronavirus pandemic has aggravated the chronic crisis of FC Dynamo of Bucharest, which has faced decades of corruption and incompetence. The situation has fueled supporters’ action and now they are trying to save the club in ab id to make it one of the greatest in Europe.FOOTAGE OF FC DYNAMO OF BUCHAREST SPORTS COMPLEX.SOUNDBITES OF: NICU GRAMENI, DYNAMO OF BUCHAREST AND DOAR DINAMO BUCURESTI SPOKESPERSON :1.- "[The sports] belonged to the State. After the revolution businessmen entered in the clubs, not just soccer ones. They came to make money and that was clear since everyone looked out for his own interest. Little by little, the work of players lost its value."IONUT ZAINEA, DOAR DINAMO BUCURESTI REPRESENTATIVE:2.- "It has been quite difficult, especially due to the lack of sporting events. The fact that there weren’t any matches has affected a lot, but people have understood that with or without the pandemic, with or without crisis and with or without disaster, Dynamo is loved, and they have reacted accordingly"3.- "It was 350,000 euros. This money was used to pay the player’s salaries for two months and to cover the sum of 180,000, necessary to pay the license so the team can continue in the First Division."NICU GRAMENI, DYNAMO OF BUCHAREST AND DOAR DINAMO BUCURESTI SPOKESPERSON :4.- “When we started with the project, Doar Dinamo Bucuresti, we have taken as role models,,, we have been inspired by other countries, countries with more experience on this and of course Spain has been one of the models we want to follow, especially since there are important clubs in Spain whose fans as their base.”CATALIN ALEXANDRU, DOAR DINAMO BUCURESTI REPRESENTATIVE:5.- "Right now the Doar Dinamo Bucuresti program has 10 percent of the club's shares. With this we want to be a club watchdog. The ideal scenario for us would be that an investor comes and injects dozens of millions of euros into Dynamo, although for the moment this may seem as a utopia. The DDB program is prepared to take control of the club and create the conditions for the arrival of a foreign investor."IONUT ZAINEA, DOAR DINAMO BUCURESTI REPRESENTATIVE:6.- "We are talking about Dynamo Bucharest, the most successful club in Eastern Europe, the one with most medals both in the Olympic Games and the World Championships. We are talking about dozens of athletes, hundreds of people who came to Romania. The slogan of the club is 'Honor through a well done job' and the one of the football team 'The legend continues'. We hope to combine them so that the legend will maintain its honor and bring results again."
