Q: I own a Genesis GV60. Like all Hyundai electric global modular platform (EGMP) EVs, they charge from 20% to 80% in 15 minutes. No need to wring hands over tying up parking spaces. After the initial period of complimentary public charging, we will all be charging at home anyway.Anyone buying a new car should get an EV, not an ICE (internal combustion engine). We can all slowly fry together or get with the program.Robert Wahler, San Jose A: Yours was one of many responses to recent columns about EVs and charging stations, including a reader asking why the charging stations are typically close to building entrances.Q: The most practical reason to place EV charging equipment close to the building has to do with access to electrical service. The further away from existing service, the more expensive the installation.Kevin Hickman, San RamonA: And…Q: EV proponent and mechanical engineer here. My theory is that they stick EV charging near the building at many businesses because ch...Top San Jose Sharks top storylines for 2023-2024: Will one end in Celebrini?

SAN JOSE – Those who follow the San Jose Sharks can see that the organization — for the last year or two — has been trying to put in place some building blocks for the future.Forwards Thomas Bordeleau and William Eklund, drafted in 2020 and 2021, respectively, will be starting the season in the NHL. Defensive prospects Henry Thrun, Shakir Mukhamadullin, and Nikita Okhotiuk, acquired last season in a separate pair of trades, are all 22 or younger with upside.Recent early-round draft picks like Will Smith, Filip Bystedt, Quentin Musty, Mattias Havelid, and Cameron Lund project to be in San Jose within the next one to three years. There’s also the potential for an elite forward like Macklin Celebrini or Cole Eiserman to be added to the franchise next year.But the chance at a bright future can’t hide the real possibility that the Sharks will be the worst team in the NHL this season.The Sharks are now without their leading goal scorer (Timo Meier), point producer (Erik Karlss...Suspects pistol-whip, rob victim of jewelry in Redwood City

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli warplanes hammered the Gaza Strip neighborhood by neighborhood on Tuesday, reducing buildings to rubble and sending people scrambling to find safety in the tiny, sealed-off territory as Israel vowed a retaliation for Hamas’ surprise weekend attack that would “reverberate … for generations.”Aid organizations pleaded for the creation of humanitarian corridors to get aid into Gaza, warning that hospitals overwhelmed with wounded were running out of supplies. Israel has stopped all access of food, fuel and medicines into Gaza, and the sole remaining access from Egypt shut down Tuesday after airstrikes hit near the border crossing.The war began after Hamas militants stormed into Israel on Saturday, bringing gunbattles to its streets for the first time in decades. At least 1,600 lives have already been claimed on both sides, and perhaps hundreds more. Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza hold more than 150 soldiers and civilians hostage, according ...Protester throws glitter at UK Labour Party leader as he makes a speech vowing national renewal
