Jaguar Land Rover U.K. announced Monday it will be partnering with Plugsurfing to give Jaguar and Land Rover owners simplified access to over 300,000 charge points across 27 countries. To streamline access to charge points customers purchasing Jaguars and Land Rovers will receive the Jaguar or Land Rover Charging app, which will allow them to pay at various charge points by simply tapping an RFID key. Multiple options will be available for customers with the Pay-As-You-Go free package offering prices according to the current variable rate at each charger. For a fee of $4.71 per month, including value-added tax, the Gold Tariff will offer fixed rates for charging.

Jaguar was the last to go. Their cars always were unique. You knew it was a Jaguar before you saw the leaping cat. Then it became one of jelly beans.

The Jaguar XKE was a different breed of cat. It was one of the most beautiful cars I ever owned.

Same here #2. My '65 E Type 4.2 liter coupe was my little garage queen for 12 years. When I rebuilt her engine on several occasions, it was a road beast on the highway. That was back in the day when you put on your vehicle and drove it by the sound, smell, and feel. Miss it/ not miss it...like a demanding ex- wife.

The question is, where is the electricity for 300,000 charge points going to come from in those 27 countries? Wind and solar generation, etc.? This is all pure dreamland.

I hope Jag did a thorough job of eliminating ways of tampering with it. New means of access often create new vulnerability to stealing product, money, or identity.

It will charge like nobody’s business…being a Jaguar it will make it easier to get it to and back from the Service Department! Park her in the garage, turn out the lights and listen to it rust!

Batteries are great for toy cars. Maybe something as big as a golf cart, that only needs to drive a few miles at fairly slow speeds. But battery technology is nowhere near ready to power cars in realistic ways that people actually drive cars in most of the country!!!!! Until they can make them small, inexpensive, super powerful, clean, and able to be fully charged in about 15 minutes or less (for a charge that will allow the car to go 400-500 miles), there isn't a bat's chance in Hades that I will be owning an electric car. Even if it has a Jaguar as a hood ornament and they give it to me for free!!! Don't get me wrong, I would take it and immediately sell it to buy a nice gas-powered SUV!!!!!!

I'm with #14. I've said it before: I will consider the possibility of an EV when the first fully electric rocket blasts off into space and the first fully loaded electric 767 successfully flies from NYC to London. And even then, I would only consider the possibility . . .

Too bad they can't speed up the charging process or make the batteries safe from meltdown and rapid combustion into toxic fumes.

Former Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield is spilling the beans concerning why he is no longer with Newsmax, asserting that he was fired when he refused to attack Fox News host Tucker Carlson on air. (Video) The Daily Beast is reporting that Stinchfield disappeared from the network in July after Newsmax switched up his timeslot to bring former Fox News host Greta Van Susteren on board. Not long after that development, Stinchfield left Newsmax. Now he has a new show, “Stinchfield – Uncensored,” and he is outing the network concerning his forced departure in its premiere. “I am excited for my new podcast. This is really great stuff.

A Manhattan public school with just one certified bilingual teacher is reeling under the weight of a sudden influx of migrant students who don’t speak any English, The Post has learned. “We’re overwhelmed,” one frustrated teacher at PS 33 Chelsea Prep said Tuesday. “We’ve all got migrant students in our classrooms. The teachers don’t speak Spanish. There’s no resources helping us out right now — it’s a very challenging situation.” One outraged mom said migrant kids — easily identified by lime green ID tags that hang from their necks — have swelled the size of her daughter’s class from 15 to 20 kids.

Republican Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker on Tuesday pledged to pay past due rents to stop “Reverend Warnock from evicting” tenants who live in a building his church owns in Atlanta, Georgia. Following Monday relations that Sen. Raphael Warnock’s (D-GA) church had tried to evict at least eight tenants for late rent during the pandemic, Walker announced he would help the tenants and pay overdue rent. “I have never known a preacher that likes abortion even after birth, won’t pay his child support, and evicts poor people to the street,” said Herschel Walker in a press release. “I will personally pay the $4,900

Army Secretary Christine Wormuth joined other military leaders for a speaking event on Monday in which she defended the branch’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs, and then laughably claimed she doesn’t know what “woke” means. “We get criticized, frankly, sometimes for being ‘woke,'” Wormuth said. “I’m not sure what ‘woke’ means. I think ‘woke’ means a lot of different things to different people.” “But, first of all, if ‘woke’ means we are not focused on warfighting, we are not focused on readiness, that doesn’t reflect what I see at installations all around the country or overseas when I go and visit,” the secretary argued, according to Fox News.

Headlined "Biden, Storyteller in Chief, Spins Yarns That Often Unravel," the Times points to Biden's usual lies used to pander to audiences but characterizes the blatant falsehoods as merely a "habit of embellishing narratives to weave a political identity." How nice to be Joe Biden and have the Times around to make your literally unbelievable anecdotes an endearing quality, or whatever.

After dismantling federal abortion rights in its previous term, the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday turned away a case that would consider extending constitutional protections to the unborn. The Supreme Court declined to hear the case on Tuesday without comment, CNN and CBS News reported. In Dobbs vs. Jackson, the conservative-leaning Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade, the 1970s-era case that offered sweeping access to an abortion. The court this year ruled that abortion rights are not enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, leaving the issue to the states. The court in the Dobbs decision, however, avoided the question of whether an unborn child is entitled to the same rights

She did not announce plans to join the Republican Party or adopt any other political affiliation, however.

The family of a 17-year-old who died over the summer says she passed away from sudden heart problems. Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.) and his wife said in a statement that Gwen Casten died in June of a sudden cardiac arrhythmia. “In layman’s terms, she was fine, and then her heart stopped,” the grieving parents said. “We don’t know what caused the arrhythmia, and likely never will.” According to the National Liberty of medicine, arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat. It can refer to a heart that is beating too quickly, too slowly, or with an otherwise irregular pattern.

With the November election just weeks away, Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams is dealing with an unusual political problem. She has become a star on the national political stage. But in her own state -- where she has proved in recent presidential and Senate contests that she can get out the vote for Democratic candidates -- she is struggling to gain momentum for her rematch with Republican Governor Brian Kemp. One problem is tepid enthusiasm among a key segment of the Democratic base: Black men. One-third of Black men registered in Georgia haven’t voted in the past several elections, with pollsters

PayPal on Oct. 8 sent out an update to its terms of use, or acceptable use policy (AUP). It included a shocking addition. It reserved the right to confiscate $2,500 from people’s accounts if they spread “misinformation.” It was a clear announcement of what many already suspected: PayPal has enlisted in the information war. This comes weeks after PayPal blocked several important accounts in the UK, including Toby Young’s personal account, the Free Speech Union, and the DailySceptic. These are hugely important venues for the English-speaking world in countering the COVID propaganda narrative. It was no accident that they were targeted.

Now, Ryan, during the debate — doubling down on his comments — included Vance in the group of people he labels as “extremists.”

And Younger is among a swarm of objectors, many of them parents, fighting an uphill battle against a $2.1 billion transgender industry in the United States.
