EV maker Rivian announces game-changing new partnership that will make drivers' lives easier: 'That's massive'

Electric vehicle maker Rivian announced it is partnering with IONNA and WeaveGrid to make EV charging easier for its consumers. Tech Brew reported that IONNA will help Rivian create a smart charging network. WeaveGrid will allow Rivian to better integrate its EVs' connection with electric grids. IONNA and WeaveGrid are both backed by Toyota, Hyundai, and Kia (IONNA has several other partners). Wassym Bensaid, Rivian's chief software officer, said working with IONNA "will follow a similar approach to what we did with the Tesla team, which is offer that seamless digital experience from the vehicle, so that you have access to live data, you have access to plug and charge." WeaveGrid's partnership will allow consumers to get the lowest energy prices and better access to renewable energy. This is all thanks to vehicle-to-grid integration. And if Rivian consumers opt into it, Bensaid stated that they could save 30% on their home's energy costs. "That's massive," Bensaid told Tech Brew. "Imagine the opportunity of such solutions in terms of really helping us all move toward a more sustainable ecosystem." EVs have the potential to do a lot of good, and countries around the world are sprinting to implement them. said that the United Kingdom will ban sales of new gas and diesel cars in 2030. EVs also made up 80% of Norway's new car sales in 2021. Of course, EVs aren't a perfect solution. For every ton of mined lithium used to make EV batteries, 15 tons of carbon dioxide go into the air. But also said this ratio is going down over time as technology gets better. EVs are one of many lifestyle adjustments a person can make that can be great for them and the environment. You can't buy only new electric cars now, but that'll change in places like the UK. And with partnerships like Rivian's that make EV maintenance more accessible, it'll be even easier to own an EV. While it's unclear when WeaveGrid's work will show up, IONNA's collaboration will arrive later this summer, per Tech Brew.

Cannes to Ban Large Cruise Ships to Tackle Overtourism

Cannes is part of the growing list of destinations that are imposing restrictions on the cruise industry. Cannes is the latest destination to clamp down on the cruise industry as part of its strategy to combat overtourism. The popular French Riviera city is banning vessels carrying more than 1,000 people from its harbor starting January 1, the Associated Press reported. The Cannes city council voted to introduce new measures last Friday that would only allow ships carrying fewer than 1,000 passengers to dock at its port and permit a maximum of 6,000 passengers to disembark daily. Larger ships would likely transfer passengers to smaller boats that would be able to enter Cannes. The city council — which said its goal is to make cruise tourism "less numerous, less big, less polluting and more esthetic" — reported 175 passenger ships anchored in the city last year, bringing roughly 460,000 people to the city. 'Cannes has become a major cruise ship destination, with real economic benefits. It's not about banning cruise ships, but about regulating, organizing, setting guidelines for their navigation,' Mayor David Lisnard said, according to the Associated Press. Cannes joins the list of destinations that have introduced restrictions on the cruise industry to take action against mass tourism. Amsterdam's municipal government intends, starting in 2026, to cut the number of sea cruises that can stop at its main port terminal from 190 to 100. And Greece unveiled plans last September to tax cruise passengers that step foot on the islands of Santorini and Mykonos 20 euros (around $22) during the peak summer season, a measure that will go into effect on July 1.
