One believer is set to lose nearly $50,000 betting on Tesla's ability to deliver a Robotaxi service by the end of June (didn't happen), and the controversial CEO's most recent spat with President Trump had TSLA down nearly 5% in pre-morning trading.

On today's sunny side up episode of Quick Charge, we take a look at the latest from the world of solar power, and discuss Congressional Republicans' plans to limit your energy independence by eliminating a critical tax credit for homeowners nearly ten years early. (!)
We've also got a quick review of a massive solar farm powering 200,000 homes in Indiana and the biggest solar project East of the Mississippi – both part of a record 98% of all new power generation and grid capacity introduced in 2025 coming from wind and solar. Those are jobs, those are lower utility rates, those are energy independence ... so why are Congressional Republicans working to make that more expensive?
Source Links* FERC: Solar + wind made up 98% of new US power generating capacity in Q1 2025 * This vast 1.3 GW Indiana solar farm will power 200,000 homes * The biggest solar farm east of the Mississippi is now powering Chicago * The House draft budget kills the 30% residential solar tax credit * Home solar prices just hit record lows – and storage is even cheaper

On today's episode of Quick Charge, it's back to your regularly scheduled news programming with reports that Tesla employees are getting fired for asking Elon to step down as the new Model Y flops hard in the global marketplace. We've also got a new electrified Volvo XC70 and Micah has a close call with the law!
We've also got a deep dive into Tesla sales in China through April, and how they compare to 2024 and 2023, along with a reminder to the Elon faithful that Faraday Future is, somehow, still a thing, and to look both ways before pulling out into a bike lane.

ACT Expo is North America's premier clean truck and transport trade show – and for 2025 it was bigger than ever, with more exhibitors and more, more capable battery electric vehicles than ever.

No matter how badly a fleet wants to electrify their operations and take advantage of reduced fuel costs and TCO, the fact remains that there are substantial up-front obstacles to commercial EV adoption ... or are there? We've got fleet financing expert Guy O'Brien here to help walk us through it on today's fiscally responsible episode of Quick Charge!
This conversation was motivated by the recent uncertainty surrounding EVs and EV infrastructure at the Federal level, and how that turmoil is leading some to believe they should wait to electrify. The truth? There's never been a better time to make the switch!

With more than two million square feet indoors and twice that outdoors, bauma hosts more than 600,000 guests from 200 countries to see 3,600 exhibitors' hardware (and, increasingly, software). We're only going to cover a sliver, but it's a really cool sliver, you guys – enjoy!

On today's troubling episode of Quick Charge, we explore all the troubles befalling Tesla (and TSLA stock) in the month April – with top executives fleeing the ship, demand plummeting, sales slipping, government incentives at home and abroad under threat, and a raft of receipts brought on by an OpenAI lawsuit hitting the brand, it's already a bad month for Elon ... and there's still 20 more days to go!
None of this even touches on the $43 million "backlogged" rebate scandal Tesla's facing in Canada that's being blamed for people's negative attitudes about the brand (ha!) or the fact that neither the long-promised Roadster 2.0 or the Tesla Semi will see production anytime this year, either.
The word you're looking for when you think of Tesla these days is, "cooked."

On today's hyped up hydrogen episode of Quick Charge, we look at some of the fuel's recent failures and billion dollar bungles as the fuel cell crowd continues to lose the credibility race against a rapidly evolving battery electric market.
We're taking a look at some of the recent hydrogen failures of 2025 – including nine-figure product cancellations in the US and Korea, a series of simultaneous bus failures in Poland, and European executives, experts, and economists calling for EU governments to ditch hydrogen and focus on the deployment of a more widespread electric trucking infrastructure.

On today's tariff-tastic episode of Quick Charge, we've got tariffs! Big ones, small ones, crazy ones, and fake ones – but whether or not you agree with the Trump tariffs coming into effect tomorrow, one thing is absolutely certain: they are going to change the price you pay for your next car ... and that price won't be going down!
Everyone's got questions about what these tariffs are going to mean for their next car buying experience, but this is a bigger question, since nearly every industry in the US uses cars and trucks to move their people and products – and when their costs go up, so do yours.
Source Links* Trump imposes tariffs on all car imports: here’s where all EVs available in the US come from * Tesla gets more than 20% of its parts from Mexico, yes it will be affected by tariffs * Report: Trump’s tariffs on imports could cripple Stellantis’ annual earnings by 75% * Elon Musk: Tesla (TSLA) is ‘not unscathed’, tariff impact is ‘significant’ * Hyundai reveals multi-billion-dollar bet to dodge Trump’s tariffs and boost EVs in the US * Tesla complains about being target of retaliatory tariffs, and it was right: it’s starting * Get this $20,000 Tesla conquest deal on Polestar 3 (before the tariffs hit) * BUY IT NOW: these EV deals will be hardest hit by Trump’s tariffs after April 2nd

Is Elon Musk using the missing $1.4B to fund anti-Tesla protests as part of a massive false flag operation that will give him control of both the police and the courts? There's absolutely ZERO evidence to support that idea (plus: I just made it up), but it's 2025 and that means anything goes on today's batst episode of Quick Charge!
If there's one thing narcissists love it's playing victim, and the guy who asked everyone at Trump's inauguration if they's seen Kyle and spent the last decade stacking billions by failing to deliver on a mission to mars, an all-electric roadster, an underground super-speedway, and a self-driving car seems to think it's someone else's fault that people don't like him. We talk through the state of that debacle along with news from two credible car companies, and I predict Volvo will have the first mainstream L3 car in America – enjoy!

ACME stock soars on today's cartoonishly silly episode of Quick Charge, we watch Tesla Autopilot crash into a wall with a painting on it, make the Elon stans look silly when they point out shady behavior from their fearless leader, and toss out the notion that some franchise dealers might help the troubled EV brand make more sales in red states.
We also cover Toyota as it moves to position itself for global battery dominance by suppling batteries to more than 400,000 electrified Honda vehicles per year, plus an upgraded Xpeng G6 electric SUV that makes everything on this side of the Pacific look positively plebeian.

On today's episode of Quick Charge, Southern Company's Tom Canada talks us through the utility's new, six-month pilot program that aims to overcome some of the perceived barriers to EV adoption by demonstrating the transformative potential of EV adoption in commercial fleets.
Developed in partnership with Ford Pro, the Southern Company pilot will see more than 200 F-150 Lightning trucks incorporated into the utility's existing vehicle fleet, will leverage pricing signals and demand response to evaluate the impact of cost-effective charging within a fleet environment while demonstrating the efficiency of using established charging depots.
In addition to exploring the cost-savings of EV vs. ICE, the pilot will also explore the use of software to automate charging schedules, which would enabling customers to charge at times that minimize both their electricity costs and reduce any potential strain on the electric grid.

On today's informative episode of Quick Charge, we've got Honda engineers Jason Hwang and Emilio Sanchez to talk us through some of the things that make the GM Ultium-based Honda Prologue EV feel like a real Honda, and why that matters.
Jason and Emilio talk about some of the choices they made to make the Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX feel different from its GM-branded cousins, and explain why this was much more than a case of badge-engineering. Give it a listen, then let us know what you think of the Prologue and ZDX in the comments.

Leading electric vehicle analyst, author, and industry thought leaders Loren McDonald and Bill Ferro stop by Quick Charge to discuss EV Adoption's acquisition by Paren, the "crisis" of EV charging reliability, and the real state of the EV market.
Depending on who you listen, EVs are either driving brands to record growth and are about cross that critical 10% of the overall market nationwide, or the future is bleak, the market is down, and EVs just aren't selling. What's really going on? Loren and Bill (probably) have some answers.

On today's awarding episode of Quick Charge, President Joe Biden takes a trip to Baltimore to announce $147 million in EPA awards to the city's Ports, which will support electrification efforts, clean up carbon emissions, and support some 2,000 union jobs at the Port — but that's just a small part of the larger, $3 billion announcement.
That $3 billion investment from President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act will be put to use nationally in the form of 55 award selectees across 27 states and territories (read: Puerto Rico), with the aim of modernizing and improving existing port infrastructure. At the same time, the funds will help port operators and drayage fleets electrify while combating the climate crisis.
The White House says the Clean Ports program will support an estimated 40,000 jobs across the nation's economy, including new 6,500 manufacturing jobs. The awards are expected to increase demand for American-made electric cargo handling equipment at least six-fold over the life of the program.
That equipment could range from all-electric top handlers like these at the Port of Los Angeles, or the massive, 400-ton electric crane recently commissioned at the Port of San Diego — as well as providing for electric drayage trucks and the charging depots associated with them.
While a major economic driver, our nation’s ports are a major source of pollution for workers and surrounding communities. Communities living near ports and other transportation corridors are exposed to toxic pollution which can cause respiratory and cardiovascular harm, especially in children.
The funds announced today will support the purchase of battery-electric and hydrogen-powered human-operated and human-maintained equipment, including over 1,500 units of cargo handling equipment, 1,000 drayage trucks, 10 locomotives, and 20 vessels, as well as shore power systems for ocean-going vessels, battery-electric and hydrogen vehicle charging and fueling infrastructure, and solar power generation.
WHITE HOUSE
In addition to Port of Baltimore, other award winners are announcing theirs — including $322 million to Port of Oakland, $344 million to New Jersey, and over $127 million to Delaware. The entire awards list can be seen here.
Today's Clean Ports announcement helps to advances the Biden-Harris Administration's Justice40 Initiative, and aligns with the Biden-Harris Administration's stated goal of creating a zero-emission freight sector.
Update: the podcastIn order to help walk me through drayage, shore power, and how we can overcome some of the hurdles surrounding cleaning up the ports, my friend Paul Gioupis from Zeem Solutions was kind enough to come on the show and talk it out.

On today's educational episode of Quick Charge, Ford Pro cross vehicle brand manager Nate McDonald is here to tell us about a new fleet management tool that can help give fleets a better answer to that modern question: When is the right time to electrify?
If you have a commercial fleet and are interested in transitioning some or all your vehicles to EVs, how and when is the right time to do it? That's the question that Ford wants to help its commercial customers answer with a new tool from Ford Pro called E-Switch Assist.
E-Switch Assist is a complimentary software offering that takes telematic data from existing gas- and diesel-powered Ford F-150 and Transit models and trackes each vehicle's individual energy use to determine if it's a good candidate for replacement with an EV.
The results? After evaluating over 38,000 commercial vehicles in pilot programs, the E-Switch Assist tool revealed that nearly 53% of all commercial ICE-powered Ford F-150 and Transit vehicles are either "Highly Likely Eligible" or "Likely/Potentially Eligible" to switch to electric power without disrupting the business based on their current usage.
"Smart tools informed by data like E-Switch Assist are opening up many new conversations with our commercial customers large and small about EV readiness; we're already using E-Switch Assist regularly in consultations to help organizations determine if electric trucks and vans are right for them," said Nate McDonald, EV strategy and cross vehicle brand manager at Ford Pro. "The importance of these tools and technologies goes beyond selling a customer a new vehicle—it changes mindsets about whether electric vehicles will work for their business while potentially saving them time and money."
Nate McDonald is joining us on today's show to help walk us through it. Enjoy!

Earlier today, global mining giant Fortescue announced plans to begin operations at its new Detroit factory with the production of HV marine batteries that will be used initially by EVOA to power a range of luxury marine vessels, wake boats, and tenders — and they've come to Quick Charge to tell us all about it!
The Fortescue Zero division of the mining giant is opening its first North American Advanced Manufacturing Center in Detroit, next year — and we now know that its first product will be an advanced, high voltage marine battery built around the company's Scalable Battery Module (SBM) technology.
"The Marine Battery Packs we have designed and will manufacture for EVOA in Detroit is
just the beginning of what is possible with the technology we have created," says Fortescue Energy CEO, Mark Hutchinson. "Our Scalable Battery Module product is flexible and adaptable for a range of products and markets. We've pushed innovation and engineering to the limit everywhere from racetracks to mine sites and now our customers get to see the benefits of our real-world experience and get a neat solution for their battery needs that helps minimize investment and risk in their design and development program."
Fortescue describes the Marine Battery Pack being produced for EVOA as lightweight, high-performance products delivering 30kWh to 34kWh per pack, and as engineered to support EVOA's most powerful, 1,000+ hp powertrains. The company insists that fast-charging capabilities will be baked into the new batteries, with practical charge times projected at under 30 minutes to minimize
downtime attributed to charging.
That charge time is conservativeMassive Liebherr electric haul truck; via Fortescue.Claiming a 30 min. DCFC top-off time would have raised eyebrows just a few weeks ago — but last week's announcement that Fortescue was driving the technology behind massive, all electric heavy equipment solutions (like the Liebherr T264E rigid haul truck, above) with an all-new, mind-bendingly quick 6 MW DC fast charger that could charge this massive haul truck's 1,900 kWh battery in less than thirty minutes has changed all that.
The game has simply changed, and there are already waterfront megawatt charging projects in play to support the notion that electric boats simply won't get stuck charging for extended periods of time.
Fortescue's Marine Battery Pack solution can be configured as a multi-pack Power System, giving the flexibility to support small and larger vessels.
We were lucky enough to have Fortescue's Chief Commercial Officer Andrew Carlisle join us on today's episode of Quick Charge to discuss Fortescue Zero, the company's major moves towards carbon neutrality, and more. Enjoy!

On today's electrifying episode of Quick Charge, we've got Sylvie Binder from the New York City Mayor's Office here to tell us about the newly launched North American Electric Construction Coalition (NAECC) is committed to decarbonizing the construction industry, and NYC is already making serious headway.
Timed perfectly to hit the news cycle at the end of Climate Week and just ahead of Drive Electric Week, the New York City Mayor's Office of Climate & Environmental Justice announced the formation of the NAECC in partnership with other C40 Cities like Austin, Texas, Boulder, Colorado, and San Diego and Long Beach, California (among others). Together with industry partners and trade allies, the NAECC plans to connect business and public sector stakeholders who are committed to developing the electric construction and heavy equipment markets in North America.
"This market is currently in its infancy and ripe for innovation. Making the switch to this type of equipment helps to reduce noise and air pollution, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and achieve carbon neutrality," reads the press copy. "Cities and manufacturers often come together to solve our toughest sustainability challenges, and coalition members are committed to driving change when it comes to electric construction equipment."
NYC is stepping upCASE 580EV backhoe and wheel loader; via CNH.How we construct our buildings and infrastructure greatly impacts the sustainability and resiliency of NYC. Construction as an industry is responsible for nearly 25% of all global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions — and that number will only continue to climb as the on-road segment continues to electrify.
In an effort to push back on that, the city of New York has ramped up its commitments to Embodied Carbon and Clean Construction, and is taking on a leadership role in electrifying construction sites by identifying those efforts as, "integral to our environmental justice and decarbonization agenda."
A number of industry partners have already signed on, including AIA New York and the Building Trades Employers Association. Together NAECC coalition partners spend over $13 billion (with a "b") on construction in North America. By joining forces, they hope to cut noise and air pollution, improve the quality of life of people who live and work around heavy equipment, and demonstrate the power of cities and local governments to drive market growth.

On today's extra long episode of Quick Charge, Elon Musk is definitely hurting sales at Tesla, Mercedes is taking the self-driving lead, and Chargeway founder Matt Teske stops by to show us how extreme weather could impact your electric road trip.
We also take a deeper dive into some of the ways extreme heat and cold impact electric vehicle range on long road trips, a major bankruptcy in the solar space, and convince ourselves that these photos of Elon as a furry aren't real (please, don't try to convince me they're real – this timeline is already irredeemably stupid, and I don't think I'll ever recover).

On today's exciting episode of Quick Charge, we talk about Whistlin' Diesel snapping a Cybertruck's gigacast frame, whether or not women worry too much about EV charging, and the progress being made by Tesla rivals in China.
The questions being raised by the video shared in Fred Lambert's article certainly raise questions about the off-road capabilities of the Tesla Cybertruck, but one capability all Tesla products sorely lack is the ability to drive away from a charging session while still plugged in. Will the Chinese figure out a solution to that particular issue first, or will it be Toyota?
We don't know – but you might! Give us a watch or listen then let us know what you think in the comments.

On today's thrilling episode of Quick Charge, we're catching up with the latest news about Rivian, its high marks for quality, lawsuit with Tesla, and (maybe) hot-selling R2. We also cover Amazon's aggressive EV expansion plans and do our level best not to call Trump fans "weird."
It's no secret that Rivian is gaining friends and fans across the industry with its more conventionally styled EVs and intuitive software – and that's put them on top of JD Power's APEAL test scores (kinda). It's also made them a target for lawsuits from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who once famously and unironically said that, "patents are for the weak."
Maybe they are, Elon. Maybe they are.
Source Links* Rivian tops the most satisfying US auto brands, but it doesn’t count * Rivian’s (RIVN) legal battle with Tesla just got more interesting * Rivian (RIVN) deliveries remain flat in Q2, but things are looking up in the second half of 2024 * Rivian R2 pre-orders ‘well over’ 100,000 and climbing * Rivian (RIVN) and Volkswagen win approval from German authorities to form joint venture * Rivian (RIVN) stock surges after VW deal, ‘credible path’ for the EV maker to breakeven * Amazon EV milestone: 15,000 electric delivery vans in service (100,000 by 2030)

In today's massive new episode of Quick Charge, Tesla issues a massive 1.8 million EV recall to keep their hoods from flying open, Liebherr puts out a massive, 264-ton electric haul truck, and a massive 2.2 MW wind farm gets one step closer to reality.

On today's episode of Quick Charge, Elon claims FSD (Full Self Driving) 12.5 can go a full year without interventions, the Cybetruck's range extender is a bit of a letdown, Cummins builds a massive new dyno, and they're recycling solar panels in Texas.
It's a tale of two Teslas as the company takes two steps backwards with HW3's FSD promises and the CT's $16,000 battery upgrade that ruins the trunk/bed while releasing FSD 12.5 to the wider fleet and the Semi factory gets a bit more real. Meanwhile, Cummins is taking alt fuel testing safety seriously with a new, $16 million dyno room.

On today's episode of Quick Charge, the Cybertruck gets homolgated in Canada, Elon delays the Optimus robot for up to a full year, Hyundai's feeling skittish about a possible victory for Donald Trump this November, and a Club Car shows off a real MAN's truck – finally!
Now that the Tesla Cybertruck has become the best-selling electric pickup in the US and is on its way to dominating Canada, I think it’s high time that we begin to ask ourselves what makes a truck a truck … because the slab-sided, low-poly, post-apocalyptic wedge thing ain’t it for me.

In this special, second vacation episode of Quick Charge, we explore the historic dive in global diesel demand, and how the proliferation of EVs large and small is driving growth in the global mining industry – which, in turn, is driving growth in both the electric & autonomous mining equipment markets.
In this episode, we’ll focus on how the continued push for more lithium, silicon, and phosphate is driving demand for electric mining equipment – and how, in turn, the need for bigger batteries is driving demand for more mined materials. That, and the biggest, baddest electric vehicles you've ever seen.
Give it a watch, then let us know what you think of the role EVs are playing the diesel demand drop in the comments.

In this special vacation episode of Quick Charge, we explore the historic dive in global diesel demand, and whether it's being caused inflation and a slowing economy or the rapid rise in EV sales displacing millions of gallons of oil demand.
In this episode, we'll focus on the rapid growth of the commercial EV market as one of the leading contributors to the global drop in diesel demand, coming perilously close to asking the question: has peak oil come and gone?
Give it a watch, then let us know what you think of the role EVs are playing the diesel demand drop in the comments.

On today's episode of Quick Charge: a new report indicates that Elon will delay the launch of Tesla's Robotaxi, Giga Berlin squabbles with unions, Polestar rolls out a go-fast convertible at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and a retro-tastic Mercedes restomod that's more Model 3 than 300 breaks cover.
We wrapping up this week's Quick Charge cycle with some fun stories involving IKEA coffee mugs, President Biden's big cash giveaways, Rimac stealing Tesla's best ideas, and a convertible Polestar with about 50% more power than it needs.

On today's episode of Quick Charge, Tesla launches a new "Supervised" Full Self Driving update, a rare, carbon-bodied Tesla Roadster goes on sale, there's an all-new Ford Capri EV, and the great State of Michigan tells your HOA to stuff it when it comes to home solar and EV charging!
Elon says Tesla's latest FSD update won't require intervention for up to a year – but as we discussed yesterday, he may not be getting the full picture from his dev team. Meanwhile, the new Ford Capri looks more like a Polestar than its 70s namesake, Michigan tells your HOA to stuff it, and I get to say a Chinese car's funny name.
Source Links* Tesla starts pushing new Supervised FSD update * Elon is being lied to, Porsche sales plummet, $15K Hyundai EV, and a $2.5M special * A one-of-a-kind secret Tesla Roadster R&D prototype is for sale * Ford unveils new Capri EV with nearly 400 miles range and sports car performance * Carvana’s new tool makes it easier than ever to buy a used EV with a federal tax credit up front * Michigan gets right-to-solar – now you can tell your HOA to stuff it * BYD’s new luxury electric sedan hits showrooms to challenge Tesla and Porsche

On today's episode of Quick Charge, Elon is being lied to about Full Self Driving, sales of the all-electric Porsche Taycan are plummeting, Hyundai has a $15,000 EV coming to market in Korea, and Mate Rimac celebrates 15 years of building go-fast EVs in Croatia with a $2.5 million special edition supercar.
This one's really important, because Elon believes what he sees – and if what he sees about FSD are lies, damned lies, and (fake) statistics, that could help explain why he thinks robotaxis and armies of autonomous Optimus robots are closer than they really are.

On today's episode of Quick Charge, we ask: What does war look like to someone who "narrowly avoided" military conscription in South Africa? Apparently it involves lots and lots of robots, and a cameo appearance from Bill Gates!
Elon took to X to say he was ready to wage war on TSLA shorts – and, once he has self-driving cars and the Optimus robot figured out, his stock gains will "obliterate" Bill Gates ... all of which seems very sane and normal. In other news, there's a Model Y refresh, Model S/X sales are tanking, Lucid sales are up, killer EV lease deals about, you can get a Nissan LEAF for $19 in Colorado, and NASCAR goes electric!
Source Links* Elon Musk goes to war against Tesla (TSLA) shorts again * New Tesla Model Y spotted with camouflage – refresh coming? * Tesla Model S/X sales are crashing and Tesla is hiding it * Lucid (LCID) beats Q2 delivery goal after a record quarter * Hyundai, Kia, and Subaru offer the best electric SUV lease deals in July, starts at $199/mo * You can lease a 2025 Nissan Leaf for $19 a month (yes, for real) * Ford teases its new EV coming this week, a revival of a ‘legend’ * Electric NASCAR racer arrives at Chicago Street Race with 1300 hp (!) * Massive electric forklifts get to work at the Port of Los Angeles

We gave the Tesla Cybertruck a lot of heat yesterday, and today we're back for more as every single example of the controversial electric pickup built so far has been recalled. Meanwhile a Model 3 is cheaper than a Camry now, Polestar 2 gets an upgrade, and electric flight takes off. All this and more on today's energizing episode of Quick Charge!
I also want to draw attention to yesterday's Quick Charge episode and say that I didn't mean for the call for better signage to be a criticism of the signage at Wrigley Field. As many of you pointed out in the comments, the last thing we need as drivers is more signs and more distractions. That said, I stand by the assertion that big signs build confidence in the ICE-driving normies, but the best answer might be something more nuanced than a 60' EV charging sign.
See? I do pay attention to the comments! (Totally doubling down on that whole "picking on the Cybertruck" thing, though.) Enjoy!
Source Links* Tesla recalls over 11,000 Cybertrucks over trim detaching and wiper issue * Mercedes added to NACS ‘coming soon’ page as Tesla slows rollout * The Tesla Model 3 is now cheaper to lease than a Toyota Camry * Rivian is now leasing R1T and R1S EVs in 33 US states * Polestar launches new 2025 Polestar 2 with more range and a sleek style update * CATL battery successfully powers electric plane with 1,800-mile civil aircraft expected * CATL establishes aviation unit as it moves closer to electric airplane development

On today's electrifying episode of Quick Charge, we check out a number of totaled Teslas, question the legitimacy of "boat mode," and chart the company's declining sales. Meanwhile, NIO is hitting its sales targets, VW is doubling production of its electric van, and I want 60' tall illuminated EV charging signs on highways.
Apps like Chargeway and Tesla's mapping function do a phenomenal job of showing EV infrastructure to the people who need it, but that's not how you build trust among people who aren't yet EV drivers. Check out my rant in the Wrigley Field article, below, then let us know how you think better signage might alter the EV conversation in the comments.

On the domestic front, Tesla sales are cratering so hard that they're making everyone else's great numbers look bad, Ford is leveling up its self driving software, and China thinks the Europeans are spying on them.
