Sustainable Power: King of Prussia’s InductEV Wireless Charging Tech Wins TIME’s 2024 Best Invention Award

InductEV's wireless EV charging solution was named a TIME Best Invention of 2024 for its contribution to sustainability and emission reduction. The company’s technology, which enables high-power, on-the-go charging, reduces reliance on depot charging, maximizing clean energy usage. Current deployments span municipal bus fleets, freight ports, and OEM integrations with major vehicle manufacturers, underscoring its potential to accelerate transportation electrification.

High Turnout Expected in Montgomery County as Over 123,000 Mail-in Ballots

Already Submitted

With a week to go before Election Day, Montgomery County has already received over 123,000 mail-in ballots, setting the stage for a strong voter turnout. County officials urge those with outstanding ballots to use drop boxes for timely returns. The county’s mobile voter van and drop box access aim to support convenient and secure voting.

Divided PA Court Allows Undated Mail Ballots, Raising Election Integrity Concerns

A Pennsylvania appeals court ruled that mail ballots lacking accurate handwritten dates on envelopes can be counted, citing the constitutional right to vote. The 3-2 decision faced dissent, with critics warning of potential impacts on election integrity. The ruling, which the Republican party plans to appeal, has prompted election officials to encourage voters to carefully follow mail ballot instructions.
