The EV slowdown is pushing companies to rethink everything.
Mike Wayland of CNBC highlights how Arizona-based battery technology company Sion Power is pivoting from electric vehicles to defense, developing lithium-metal cells for drones and autonomous systems.
CEO Pamela Fletcher said, "The faster path, and frankly, a big need, is out there in this defense space."

Most companies are using AI wrong.
88% of enterprises use AI in some form, but only 8% see a measurable impact on their bottom line.
Bob Marsh, chief client officer at OnTrac AI, argues in Automotive News that the top performers aren't using AI to cut headcount. They're using it to finally act on ideas they never had the bandwidth to pursue.
His mental exercise is worth trying. If 20 capable people showed up at your front desk tomorrow, ready to grow revenue, what would you have them do?
The suppliers who emerge stronger from this period won't be the ones who did the same things with fewer people. They'll be the ones who did things they'd never been able to do before. ... See MoreSee Less

Da’Quain Johnson, a 32-year-old father of three, was shot three times in the back by a Grand Rapids Police Department officer after a chase that ended with him on the ground, on his stomach, with a K-9 engaged.
The justification centers on one claim: that he pointed a gun at officers. But the video released so far does not clearly show that.
During a recent press conference, Ven Johnson of Ven Johnson Law and Ben Crump addressed that gap, along with the broader context that this marks the 12th officer-involved shooting by GRPD since 2022.
