The battery of an electric car is recharged at a roadside charging station on January 09, 2024 in London, England. Britain is forecast to hit "peak petrol" in 2024, according to a new report, with electric vehicles (EVs) on track to assume a much bigger share of the country's car market. The online vehicle platform estimates there were 18.7 million gasoline-powered cars on the country's roads in 2024, although this figure is expected to steadily decline to just 11.1 million by 2034. At the same time, it is expected the number of EVs on Britain's roads will soar to 13.7 million over the next decade as affordability improves, up from 1.25 million in 2024. "Peak petrol is a genuine landmark for the UK," Auto Trader's Ian Plummer said in the report.

Întâmplarea s-a petrecut în timp ce aeronava părăsise poarta de îmbarcare și se îndrepta către pista de decolare. Nu se știe dacă bărbatul și femeia au fost sau urmează să fie acuzați pentru fapta lor. A fost rugat din nou să stea jos, însă a pornit spre partea din fața a avionului. „Bărbatul forțase o ieșire de urgență, activând toboganul gonflabil, apoi el, partenera sa și câinele lor au coborât din avion", relatează New York Times, citând un oficial al aeroportului LaGuardia. Nimeni nu a fost rănit în urma incidentului, iar avionul s-a întors la poarta de îmbarcare, iar pasagerii îmbarcați în alte zboruri.
