You got me. It's Kim Commando today, and I'm here with you just the facts and tips you need to thrive in our digital world.

Or, as I like to say, to live the best digital life ever. Six hours, I don't know about you, but I'm a total eight hours person. I'd always like to start with something interesting. And I guess I could get by on seven hours of sleep, but I do much better with eight hours of sleep.

immediately waking up at 9.30 looking at his phone to working out for at least 20 minutes. Then he said he'd look at his phone

started with five things that you need to know that's happening right now in the tech world to keep you

1:54.9

up to date. And starting at number one, as you may have noticed over the last couple of months, I've been talking a lot about electric

2:01.8

vehicles. And on social, a listener asked me, why don't more Americans buy an EV? It's a great

2:07.9

question, and let's talk about the answer. Now, more people aren't buying EVs because even
