The Audi A5 Plug-In Hybrid Has A Bigger Battery Than The Original Nissan Leaf
- The new Audi A5 e-hybrid can drive up to 68 miles in all-electric mode and features an electric motor sandwiched between a 2.0-liter gas engine and a seven-speed automatic transmission.
- Audi is investing in plug-in hybrids as sales of its all-electric models dipped last year, resulting in the introduction of the A5 e-hybrid with a larger battery than the original Nissan Leaf.
- The Audi A5 e-hybrid combines a combustion engine with an electric motor powered by a high-voltage battery, offering a flexible driving experience for customers considering electrification.
- Featuring a 248-horsepower 2.0-liter gasoline engine, the A5 PHEV boasts a system output of up to 362 hp, matching the performance of the V-6-powered Audi S6.
- The 20.7-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery in the A5 enables an all-electric range of up to 68 miles and can be charged from an AC source at up to 11 kW, reaching full charge in 2.5 hours.
- Audi optimized the hybrid system in the A5 for increased electric driving, offering regenerative braking options and an automatic mode that adjusts regen levels based on driving conditions.
- The A5 e-hybrid allows for full-EV or hybrid driving modes, with efficiency figures ranging between 117 and 87 mpg with a full battery, and fuel economy between 37 and 31 mpg when the battery is depleted.
- Standard features of the Audi A5 e-hybrid include electric air conditioning, a resistive heater, and optional comfort features like seat heating, ventilation, and three-zone climate control.
- Pricing for the Audi A5 e-hybrid starts at $67,300 for the sedan and $69,000 for the Avant wagon, with higher-powered versions starting from $76,300 and $78,000, respectively.
- Orders for the A5 e-hybrid open in Europe, with deliveries scheduled to start next month, but availability in the United States remains uncertain.

It's not just setting Teslas on fire. Now irate Americans are shoplifting from Whole Foods.
- Americans are increasingly turning to shoplifting from Whole Foods as a form of retaliation, justifying their actions based on Jeff Bezos' wealth and business practices.
- Some individuals feel morally justified in stealing from the affluent Bezos to balance the scales, viewing it as a Robin Hood-esque act of taking from the rich to benefit themselves.
- Shoplifters from Whole Foods cite reasons such as Bezos' wealth accumulation and business practices as motivation for their actions, with some viewing it as a way to push back against perceived exploitation.
- The thefts are not limited to food items; some individuals exploit loopholes in return policies of companies like Amazon to acquire free goods or money, rationalizing their actions by minimizing the impact on the wealthy corporations.
- While the shoplifters may believe they are seeking retribution against Bezos and his companies, their actions could have unintended consequences, impacting store employees and potentially leading to price increases for consumers.
- Experts suggest that individuals engaging in these behaviors may do so as a response to feelings of powerlessness in the face of economic disparities and corporate dominance.
- The prevalence of retail theft involving middle-class consumers reflects a growing trend, characterized by a sense of entitlement and moral justification based on disdain for corporate entities like Amazon.
- Theft and fraud not only raise ethical concerns but also pose potential risks to businesses and individuals, leading to increased vigilance in retail security measures.
- Despite attempts to rationalize shoplifting as a form of protest against Bezos and Amazon, the legality and broader implications of these actions highlight the complexities of ethical decision-making in a consumer-driven society.
- Individuals exploring unauthorized means to retaliate against corporations like Amazon may inadvertently contribute to operational challenges and financial losses for businesses and their stakeholders.

Trump Slaps 25% Tariffs On All Foreign Cars
- President Donald Trump announced new 25% tariffs on all foreign cars, aiming to push automakers towards production in the U.S.
- The tariffs on all vehicles imported from other countries are set to take effect on April 2.
- The move is expected to impact automakers and increase car prices, especially for cars imported from countries like Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Japan, and Germany.
- The tariffs could lead to automakers reconsidering their supply chains, but building new car plants is a time-consuming and costly process.
- Industry analysts warn that these tariffs may disrupt the car industry, leading to production cuts and higher prices for consumers.
- The move has faced criticism from a trade group citing increased costs to consumers and potential job losses in the U.S. manufacturing sector.
- The tariffs are likely to impact the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) by making EVs more expensive for consumers.
- Adding tariffs on popular electric models assembled in Mexico, Japan, Germany, and other countries may hinder EV adoption due to increased costs.
- While some automakers like Tesla and Hyundai have domestic production, tariffs could still impact the overall EV market.
- The U.S. auto industry has been shifting towards domestic production, incentivized by policies promoting clean vehicles and battery manufacturing.
