In this episode of her great podcast, LB tells my favorite story about the codebreaker Elizebeth Friedman. It’s about her secret mission during WWII — and how J. Edgar Hoover erased her from history. This is the stuff that surprised me the most when I was reporting TWWSC.
#TheWorldBeneath Episode 8:
In the clandestine war of WWII, it was a woman who cracked Enigma for US Intelligence. And she saved South America from falling to the Nazis by doing so - an effort that was co-opted by a man, who only cared for his own glory. J Edgar Hoover.

From a friend in the #EV world:
"Fun time on a call today with a utility's brand-new 'Electrification Director,' who runs their EV team.
"During a high-level rundown of how I see charging today, the person stopped me: 'I’m sorry, hold on. There is more than one plug type?' "

That's a wrap! IMW7's summer colors are cream and blue. Much cooler temperatures than from the matte black she's been sporting.

Oh my good god. @Automotive_News says it's NOT an April Fool's leak.
VW will apparently rebrand itself "Voltswagen" in the U.S. for its all-#EV future.
Hot take: Worse than calling Golf 5 'Rabbit'. Though will definitely get them attention. Of some kind.

The only way to build a great 500-mile range electric vehicle is to get very good at building reliable 250-mile range electric vehicles. I want to live long enough to not need no stinking gas.
Our condolences to the Rickard family. Jack was an amazing friend and passionate EV advocate. He will be greatly missed.
