Oklahoma vs. Alcorn State Predictions & Picks: Spread, Total – December 7
Article content If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em, it seems. Hyundai in the U.S. will be offering free adapters to its electric vehicle (EV) customers that will allow them to fast-charge their vehicles at Tesla Superchargers. So far, we haven’t heard if Hyundai will be doing the same in Canada, but we’ll let you know when we find out more. Current Hyundai models use a CCS (Combined Charging System) fast-charging port, which isn’t compatible with a Tesla fast-charger. Tesla refers to its port as the North American Charging Standard, or NACS, although it’s just a name and isn’t actually a regulated standard. Hyundai will be equipping all of its all-new or refreshed EVs exclusively with an NACS port, which began in the third quarter of 2024 in the U.S., and will happen in the first half of 2025 in Canada. While several other automakers have announced their intention to equip their vehicles with NACS ports, Hyundai said its 2025 Ioniq 5 is “the first non-Tesla vehicle on sale to feature a factory-installed native NACS port.” With its NACS-equipped vehicles, Hyundai will offer an adapter that allows them to be charged on a CCS charger. The NACS/CCS ports are only for fast-charging and the vehicles also have a port for regular charging, which works for either Level 1 (regular household current) or Level 2 (240-volt), the latter including home chargers and many public chargers. The free vehicle adapter will be available in the U.S. starting in the first quarter of 2025. It will be offered to current owners or to new ones, providing they purchase or lease their vehicles on or before January 31, 2025. The adapter, which fits into the CCS port and accepts the NACS charging plug, will be available for the 2024 and earlier Kona Electric , Ioniq Hatchback , Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 ; and the 2025 Ioniq 6 , Ioniq 5 N , and Kona Electric . Hyundai said the adapter – or the factory port, when it arrives – will give owners double the number of fast-charging stations currently available to them with the ability to access the Tesla network. The upcoming Ioniq 9 will have the NACS port. Hyundai will release full information in 2025 for details on how owners can apply for their free adapters. The adapters will also be offered for sale by Hyundai dealers. Genesis will also offer a similar plan but will give more details early next year. Hyundai is one of eight automakers, along with BMW , General Motors, Honda , Kia , Mercedes-Benz , Stellantis, and Toyota (that last one a later entry), involved in Ionna, a joint venture that intends to install more than 30,000 chargers across the U.S. and then expand into Canada . So far, the Ionna website lists 10 stations, with four in “Public Beta” stage and the rest “Opening Soon.” Ionna said the network will be accessible to vehicles with CCS or NACS ports, and will be near to or include facilities such as restaurants, toilets, and stores.

U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin bids farewell to Capitol Hill with criticism of Democrats and calls for a third party
Kingsview Wealth Management LLC Sells 3,522 Shares of Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Index ETF (NASDAQ:VGLT)RAMS (5-6) at NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (4-7) When: 1:05 p.m. Sunday Where: Superdome, New Orleans TV/radio: FOX (Ch. 11)/710 AM; 93.1 FM; 1330 AM (Spanish); Sirius 382, 226 Line: Rams by 3.5 Notable injury designations Rams: OUT: TE Tyler Higbee (knee), OL KT Leveston (ankle); QUESTIONABLE: OL Alaric Jackson (foot), OLB Nick Hampton (triceps). Saints: OUT: OL Lucas Patrick (calf); QUESTIONABLE: C Erik McCoy (groin), RB Jamaal Williams (groin), DL Tanoh Kpassagnon (Achilles). What’s at stake? With just six games left in the season, the Rams can’t afford to fall two games below .500 as they try to keep their NFC West title hopes alive. Behind the Cardinals and Seahawks by a game in the divisional race, the Rams need to beat the Saints – one of three teams left on their schedule with losing records – to keep within a reasonable striking distance. Who’s better? The Rams, despite their many inconsistencies, are the better, more balanced team. The Saints, after all, fired head coach Dennis Allen midseason as injuries erased the good vibes around New Orleans following a 2-0 start to the season thanks to an explosive offense. Matchup to watch: Saints RB Alvin Kamara vs. Rams’ run defense. The Rams were gashed in a 37-20 loss last week by Saquon Barkley, rushing for an Eagles-record 255 yards as the Rams front didn’t stay gap sound, putting linebackers and defensive backs in difficult positions. They will get an immediate chance at redemption against another high-powered back in Kamara, who is still managing 4.3 yards per carry despite a litany of injuries along the New Orleans offensive line. Rams win if: They convert at least 40% of their third-down opportunities on offense. ... They average more than 4.0 yards per carry behind RB Kyren Williams. ... They can bottle up Saints tight end and utility man Taysom Hill after he exploded for 138 rushing yards in the Saints’ previous game. Fantasy sleeper: WR Tutu Atwell. The fourth-year receiver popped up in the fourth quarter of last weekend’s loss to the Eagles as a reliable option in the Rams’ hurry-up offense. He could see an uptick in usage Sunday, especially following Demarcus Robinson’s Monday arrest for suspicion of DUI . Prediction: Rams 27, Saints 13. Beat reporter’s record: 8-3 for the season; 6-5 against the spread.
