Young Women in Illinois Rev Up to Build, Race Electric Vehicles in ComEd's EV Rally
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Forty-five young women are gearing up for ComEd's third EV Rally, a program designed to educate female students on electric vehicles (EVs), science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) principles and the future of clean energy while connecting with female ComEd mentors. Over four build nights, students work with their mentors to assemble electric go-carts while also learning about STEM principles and participating in STEM challenges. The program reaches top speeds on Saturday, July 26 at noon, when the girls race their completed go-carts at The Fields Commons in Chicago. 'The ComEd EV Rally program is an incredible way for teens to get out of the classroom and experience STEM hands-on supported by likeminded peers and talented mentors,' said Cheryl Maletich, Senior Vice President of Transmission and Substation at ComEd. 'Careers in STEM fields are open to all, and we are committed to ensuring the next generation of women have opportunities for successful, rewarding and lucrative careers in STEM spaces. The energy and excitement that surround these future STEM leaders is electric, and we at ComEd are proud to support their continued pursual of STEM education.' Female students between the ages of 13 and 18 were eligible to apply for the program. The 45 participating students will each receive a $2,000 scholarship upon program completion. Information on how to attend the race can be found at: 'We are always grateful for opportunities to strengthen the STE(A)M (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) community and bring innovative ideas to the forefront of our field, especially in young people," said Dr. Jessica Chavez, Ruth D. and Ken M. Davee Vice President of Education and Chief Learning and Community Partnership Officer at Griffin MSI. "Our partnership with ComEd and EV Rally is an exciting way to showcase the passion of female students in our community, support the futures of historically underrepresented groups in the STE(A)M workforce, and inspire the inventive genius in everyone.' From its early beginnings as the Icebox Derby, this program has impacted its participants far beyond crossing the finish line at the end of Race Day. Many past participants have gone on to pursue other educational and employment opportunities through ComEd and Exelon, its parent company, including scholarship programs, mentorships, workforce development programs, college-level internships and full-time careers. 'I participated in the ComEd Icebox Derby in 2016 as a student, and ComEd has been a key part of my professional growth ever since,' said Evan Abraham, Engineering Design Tech at ComEd. 'I began working at ComEd full time in 2023, and I am now lucky enough to volunteer in this year's EV Rally. The program offered me a unique opportunity to expand my knowledge of STEM outside a classroom setting and gain hands-on experience in an all-girl environment. I was able to create and maintain connections with my mentors from across ComEd, and I'm proud to come full circle in this journey and give back to the talented young women participating in the program this year.' ComEd's dedication to educating the next generation of diverse young women about STEM and zero-emissions vehicles reaches across northern Illinois. This year, over half the participants come from equity investment eligible communities (EIECs), as defined by the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act in Illinois. Continuing to invest in an inclusive workforce is necessary to prepare for the future of energy. Since the start of the Icebox Derby in 2014, 300 young women have participated in this program, receiving over $600,000 in scholarships from ComEd. In addition to EV Rally, ComEd provides other STEM and scholarship programs to empower more students to pursue family-sustaining careers in STEM. Additional STEM and scholarship programs include ComEd's STEM Labs, Construct Youth Academy, Tools of the Trade and Future of Energy Scholarships. To learn more about ComEd STEM programs, visit

Lifting fuel from Dangote refinery costs more than importing from Togo, Dangote reveals
In a scathing indictment of the country's port infrastructure and pricing structure, Dangote revealed that lifting refined petroleum products from the Lekki-based refinery is now more expensive for oil marketers than buying from offshore storage depots in neighboring countries, such as Togo. Speaking bluntly at the just-concluded Global Commodity Insights Conference on West Africa's refined fuel market, regarding the economic inefficiencies afflicting the local market, Dangote cited a slew of port-related fees and regulatory constraints that local merchants confront. At the event, which was jointly hosted by the NMDPRA and S&P Global Commodity Insights in Abuja, Dangote noted that multiple fees at the refinery's loading point and discharge at domestic terminals, which are essentially absent when marketers import gasoline from offshore facilities such as the Lomé Floating Storage Terminal, were to blame. 'In terms of port charges, it is currently more expensive to load a domestic cargo of petroleum products from the Dangote Refinery, as customers pay both at the point of loading and the point of discharge. But when they load from Lome, which competes with us, they pay only at the point of discharge. This is simply unfair and unsustainable,' the Nigerian billionaire relayed. As reported by the Punch, after their findings, marketers who source fuel from the Dangote Refinery have to pay these charges. This was also reiterated by the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria National Publicity Secretary, Chinedu Ukadike. 'We don't load in Lomé, but for Nigerian distribution through the coastal route, it is easier to use the vessels here in Nigeria because it is interstate. Most of the international clearance and the rest is not applicable, because you would be able to avoid a lot of charges, both international and local charges,' he stated. 'It is better to load from Dangote via both means. But if you are loading coastal from another country, it is more difficult than when you are loading from Nigeria,' he added. However, some other players have cited the refinery's restrictive sale methods as a reason why there are complications in the supply chain. This point was elaborated on by Executive Secretary of DAPPMAN, Olufemi Adewole, who noted that the way Dangote conducts business does not benefit most local marketers, particularly small businesses that rely on flexible coastal supply chains. 'Since the advent of Dangote refinery, it has not been smooth sailing at all. We had preliminary meetings with their management. We received promises and assurances that we would be accommodated. We are ready and still willing to patronise Dangote. But the issue is, is Dangote ready to give us the product we want?' he stated. 'You don't get the price upfront,' Adewole explained. 'It is only after you've been cleared that a proforma invoice is issued. Meanwhile, there appears to be a select group Dangote prefers to trade with,' he added.

Jim Cramer says pullbacks in 2 stocks after earnings give new investors chances to buy
Every weekday, the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer holds a "Morning Meeting" livestream at 10:20 a.m. ET. Here's a recap of Thursday's key moments. 1. Stocks were largely higher Thursday. Both the S & P 500 and Nasdaq hit new all-time highs, led by gains in Alphabet after an earnings beat. This comes on the heels of the S & P 500's record-high close Wednesday after President Donald Trump announced a new trade agreement with Japan. There are also reports that the European Union may also be closing in on a deal with the U.S. "I would not trust a negative view of this market, because there are signs of great positivity," said Jim Cramer. 2. Shares of Honeywell fell Thursday despite quarterly beats on the company's top and bottom lines. Honeywell also raised guidance. The Club stock 5% decline is "just disrespectful," said Jeff Marks, director of portfolio analysis for the Club. Meanwhile, fellow portfolio name Dover was taking a 2.5% hit following solid earnings. Jim said the stock "should be up four to five [dollars]," considering that most of the metrics are "better." Jim said the pullbacks in both stocks are buy opportunities for new investors. 3. Alphabet raised its outlook on capital expenditure by $10 billion to $85 billion. Alphabet said the new outlook reflects an additional investment in servers and an acceleration in the pace of data center construction to meet cloud customer demand. The company is looking to raise its capex again in 2026, citing customer demand and growth opportunities. This is a positive read-through for our semiconductor stocks, Broadcom and Nvidia , which were both higher Thursday. 4. Stocks covered in Thursday's rapid fire at the end of the video were Tesla , Alphabet , UnitedHealth , ServiceNow , and Chipotle . (Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is long AVGO, DOV, HON,NVDA.
