A fleet of 74 school buses have spent the last two years powering about a thousand homes, taking stress off the grid, thanks to V2G chargers built in America.
If you’ve spent much time around the electric vehicle space, you may have heard about vehicle-to-grid, perhaps by the acronym V2G (or its cousins, V2H/V2L/V2X, etc).

5 Exotics That Use Parts From Cheap Normie Cars (And Even Buses)
Parts sharing between cars is common, and automakers do that to save money on development costs of various components. For example, within the Volkswagen Group, you'll find that the Lamborghini Urus, the Porsche Cayenne, the Bentley Bentayga, and the Audi RSQ8 all share different versions of the same 4-liter twin-turbo V8. In this case, it is the engine — in other cases, it can be the transmission or the platform itself. Spreading a single component across several models lets a company recoup its engineering budget over far more units, so the practice makes financial sense, even for brands sitting at very different price points.
VinFast plans US electric buses – and it’ll handle more than the ride

Police Use Vehicle Tracking To Foil $4.7 Million Renoir Heist On The French Riveria
Despite what Hollywood movies and some police departments would have you believe, deadly car chases are far from the only way to thwart multi-million-dollar heists. French investigators used DNA evidence and vehicle tracking to recover two paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, valued at $4.7 million, that were stolen in a brazen burglary in the South of France in September. Authorities also arrested six people allegedly tied to the heist. One suspected thief led police to his co-conspirators by simply driving to their homes. As if ripped from the silver screen, our scene opens in the picturesque Nice suburb of Cagnes-sur-Mer on the French Riviera. The town hosts the Musée Renoir, a small gallery on the famed impressionist's hilltop farmhouse estate. On the morning of September 8, two thieves gained entry by cutting through the museum fence with an electric saw. According to Smithsonian Magazine, the duo then used the saw to slice off the bolts holding four paintings in place. All four works were on loan from the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
