Are you tired of dealing with high car ownership costs and searching for a more sustainable mode of transportation? Meet the Mate SUV electric cargo bike, which is designed to provide a cost-effective alternative to owning a car.

The bike provides an environmentally friendly option to traditional cars that is suitable for many who don’t need to transport large or heavy items. It promotes physical activity and can be more maneuverable in urban areas compared to cars.

What is this new electric cargo bike?

The Mate SUV is not just any electric cargo bike; it promises the convenience of a car and the agility of a bike. The 250W motor has a top speed of 16 miles per hour and can travel up to 62 miles on a single battery charge. Other features include integrated front and back lights, an LED lightbar that frames the front box, location tracking capabilities, unspecified “anti-theft protection,” and even comes with USB jack to keep your phone powered. You can add accessories such as child seats, off-road tires, and an all-weather roof too.

How much does the Mate SUV cost?

The initial expense might be steep; once released in September 2023 at $6,900, however that’s cheaper than owning and operating a traditional car annually (approximately $10k). The Mate SUV will be manufactured in Italy and sold in Europe but there has been no official announcement regarding its US release dates yet.

Reports from 9to5Google and WinFuture suggest that Google may be preparing for the release of its first foldable phone, the Pixel Fold, in June. It is possible that this phone will be introduced during the annual Google I/O event scheduled on May 10. The device is likely to come in “carbon” and “porcelain” color options and will run on Google’s Tensor G2 chip. However, it will initially only be available with 256GB storage according to WinFuture.

The rumored foldable has a 5.79-inch outer cover display and a 7.69-inch inner display when unfolded based on earlier leaks, and is expected to cost less than Samsung’s $1,800 Galaxy Z Fold 4. While pricing information is yet not revealed in the reports, rumors indicate that this device may come at a lower price point compared to other prominent foldable phones in the market.

In addition to this rumored launch, Google could also release the Pixel 7A phone alongside with three color options: carbon, cotton and arctic blue as reported by both publications. However, no official statement regarding these developments has been released by Google yet.

This rumored introduction of the Pixel Fold would put Google into an already crowded foldable smartphone market alongside brands such as Samsung and Motorola who have already released several generations of foldable devices.

Apple recently released a new feature called Clean Energy Charging with its iOS 16.1 update. The feature is designed to help iPhone users reduce their carbon footprint by forecasting carbon emissions in the local energy grid and charging during times of cleaner energy production. This, however, has not been welcomed by everyone.

Some users are upset that this feature is turned on by default after updating their iPhones and that it causes their phones to charge much slower than before. They claim that Apple is deciding how they should spend their energy for them. Nonetheless, there is a way to turn the feature off if it’s not something you’re interested in using.

The feature only kicks in when you are charging your phone at locations you are most often, like home or work, and will notify you when it does so. It will not turn on if you are charging your phone at a new location or if your charging habits vary frequently.

How to Turn off Clean Energy Charging

• Go to your Settings app
• Select Battery
• Tap Battery Health & Charging
• Toggle off Clean Energy Charging

Apple’s efforts to incorporate sustainability into its products are commendable, but some users may prefer the traditional charging method. What do you think? Share your thoughts and let us know if you prefer Clean Energy Charging on or off on your iPhone.
