Fox Business: Kierowcy pojazdów elektrycznych w Teksasie mogą wkrótce zostać zobowiązani do uiszczania rocznej opłaty w wysokości 200 USD za rejestrację swoich samochodów. Stanowi ustawodawcy w czwartek jednogłośnie uchwalili ustawę, wysyłając ją na biurko gubernatora Gregga Abbotta do podpisu. Republikański senator stanowy Robert Nichols, który był sponsorem ustawy, powiedział, że dodatkowa opłata za pojazd elektryczny jest konieczna, ponieważ kierowcy pojazdów elektrycznych nie płacą podatków od benzyny pobieranych, gdy tankowane są samochody. „Ponieważ coraz więcej tych pojazdów jeździ po drogach Teksasu, istnieją obawy co do tego, w jaki sposób przyczyniają się one do finansowania dróg, z których korzystają” – napisał Nichols w oświadczeniu intencyjnym, składając projekt ustawy.

On Saturday, the authorities took over a building illegally occupied by the Russian embassy in Warsaw. The takeover took place at the city's request, submitted in consultation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and proceeded smoothly, said the spokesman for the ministry. The repossession was carried out at the request of the City of Warsaw, submitted in full agreement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, based on a court judgment granting the Polish state ownership of this building, which has been illegally occupied by the Russian embassy for years. This property had no diplomatic status. The building was nationalized and handed over to the Soviet Union in 1945. Eight years later, the Embassy's high school for children of Soviet diplomats opened there. The school was temporarily closed after Russia invaded Ukraine.

 Fox Business: GM dostarczyło 603 208 pojazdów w pierwszym kwartale, co oznacza spadek w porównaniu z wynikiem z czwartego kwartału 2022 r., który wyniósł 623 261 pojazdów. GM zdobyło dodatkowe 1,5% udziału w rynku, co jest największym wzrostem wśród wszystkich producentów samochodów w USA. Drugi co do wielkości producent samochodów, Toyota, odnotował w tym kwartale wynik -8,8% rok do roku. Jednym z pojazdów, który nie wpłynął zbytnio na wyniki GM, był elektryczny pickup GMC Hummer EV, który dostarczył tylko dwa pojazdy. To po 854 zostało sprzedanych w zeszłym roku. Przy 90 000 rezerwacji na pickupa i nadchodzącego SUV-a problemem jest podaż, a nie popyt. Hummer EV został dotknięty wycofaniem pod koniec zeszłego roku, aby rozwiązać problem z akumulatorami, do których przedostawała się woda. Produkcja została wstrzymana i nie została wznowiona aż do 31 stycznia. Dostawy nowych ciężarówek rozpoczęto ponownie dopiero pod koniec kwartału. GM nie ujawnił aktualnego tempa produkcji, ale ...

The participants set off from the Dmowskiego roundabout in the capital's center at 11 am. Then they walked to the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist, where at At 12:30, the Holy Mass was celebrated. No other media reported the estimates, so the number of participants in the Papa March has yet to be confirmed. John Paul II died 18 years ago on the eve of Divine Mercy Sunday, April 2, 2005, in the Vatican. He was 84 years old. His pontificate lasted 26 years. The Papal March was organized to protest the media attacks initiated by an American-owned television station TVN 24 (sister station of CNN).  On March 6, TVN 24 aired a report titled "Franciszkańska 3", which described three priests' cases and Cardinal Karol Wojtyla's reaction.
