The police have detained the bus driver, 50-year-old Sanjay More, who allegedly claimed a brake failure caused the accident.

Electric Vehicle Accelerator Cell inaugurated

Published by Parlour News

An Electric Vehicle Accelerator Cell was inaugurated here on Wednesday aimed at upgrading the EV charging stations established by the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB). Inaugurating the EV Accelerator Cell, Electricity Minister K. Krishnankutty said that the number of electric vehicles on Kerala roads was increasing and the KSEB should ensure a fully-equipped charging network to cater to their needs. The cell was inaugurated during a workshop organised jointly by the KSEB and the Rocky Mountain Institute on ‘Revamping EV Charging Ecosystem in Kerala.’ KSEB is the nodal agency for establishing charging networks in the State under the State’s e-mobility policy. There were complaints that the stations established in Puthupadi, Koyilandy, Kandassankadavu, Wadakkanchery and Kuttikattoor were not compatible with EVs operating on new technologies. The KSEB is in the process of upgrading these and other fast-charging facilities, a statement said. Once this scheme, named ‘Refresh and Recharge,’ is implemented, four vehicles can be recharged at the stations at a time. Amenities such as cafeteria, washrooms, and wi-fi facility also will be …

Cybertruck owners say deliveries halted over bad accelerator pedal

Published by Webster

Over the last few days, Tesla has delayed some Cybertruck deliveries. The company hasn’t specified why or even publicly commented on the delays, but commenters in the Cybertruck Owners Club forum have reported receiving texts or calls telling them their deliveries were being rescheduled. One user said they’d been told by their dealer that the truck was recalled over its accelerator pedal. Another claimed Tesla sent them a text saying it’s not scheduling deliveries at the moment for the same reason. Several others reported receiving texts about issues with “the preparation of your vehicle.” An Elon Musk fan account called @WholeMarsBlog posted on X that deliveries have been halted for seven days, but that hasn’t been confirmed, and Tesla did not respond to The Verge’s email. (The company disbanded its PR department years ago and doesn’t typically respond to reporter questions.) The issue itself may be that the accelerator pedal is prone to getting stuck. A Cybertruck owner posted a video to TikTok showing how their accelerator pedal cover got stuck and “held the accelerator …
