Hi there. Kim here. I'm so excited because for years, you've been asking me for an audio version of

the current newsletter. And now with artificial intelligence, we are finally able to deliver. So,

I want to introduce you to George. He's my newest employee. He's the host of the current. He's

amazing. Well, he's obviously artificial intelligence and he's still learning, but I think

he has some really great stuff for you. So without further ado, drum roll please, when we get a

battery's energy use shifts. Researchers fed this data into machine learning models and boom,

they could pinpoint your starting point, destination, route, and even how long you were at a

stoplight with over 90% accuracy. Dang, EVs, they know it all,

your commute, your gym, your kid's school, your late night snack runs, and anywhere else you

and stored by carmakers, service centers,
