New electric vehicle charging station to open in Clearfield County
CLEARFIELD COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — The Shapiro Administration has announced that three more federally-funded charging stations for electric vehicles are opening in Pennsylvania, and one is in Clearfield County.
In total, Pennsylvania now has 11 stations that have been funded by the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program. Since opening, the stations have provided over 13,000 charging sessions, which powered 1.5 million miles of driving for those cars. It's estimated that Pennsylvania has reduced CO2 emissions by over 700,000 pounds.
Drivers of hybrids, electric vehicles will see new charges in Pennsylvania
Here's where you can find the new stations:
Kwik Fill in Kylertown, Clearfield County along Interstate 80 (Exit 133),
Pilot Flying J Travel Center in Mill Hall, Clinton County along I-80 (Exit 173),
Love's Travel Stop in Mifflinville, Columbia County along I-80 (Exit 242).
'Governor Shapiro has set a clear directive to get things done for Pennsylvanians, and the PennDOT team is meeting that,' Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Secretary Mike Carroll said. 'We've been a national leader in the NEVI program, and we will continue to get stuff done for the people of Pennsylvania.'
The 11 stations exist due to a $7.2 million investment in the state's EV charger network.

3 Hot Tech Stocks With More Potential Than Any Cryptocurrency
CoreWeave's AI cloud business is booming. D-Wave's practical applications for quantum computing are impressing investors. QuantumScape could reshape the EV market with its solid-state batteries. 10 stocks we like better than CoreWeave › Cryptocurrencies might be worthwhile plays for investors who have a high tolerance for risk. However, they're also notoriously volatile and difficult to value since they often trade on market hype or murky future expectations regrading their scarcity or utility. So instead of chasing the market's hottest cryptocurrencies right now, it might be smarter to invest in three speculative tech stocks: CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV), D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), and QuantumScape (NYSE: QS). These stocks are also undeniably risky, but they're built on firmer businesses with clearer roadmaps for the future. CoreWeave, which was once an Ethereum mining operation, abandoned the crypto market in 2018 and leveraged its big inventory of graphics processing units (GPUs) to build an artificial intelligence (AI)-oriented cloud-infrastructure business. After spending about $100 million on Nvidia's H100 data center GPUs in 2022, it carved out a niche with a dedicated AI platform which was about 35 times faster and 80% cheaper than bigger cloud-infrastructure platforms. It used its own GPUs as collateral to secure more financing, and it attracted some investments from big investors like Nvidia, Cisco, and PureStorage. Its total number of data centers rose from just three in 2022 to 33 at the end of its latest quarter. Its revenue soared from $16 million in 2022 to $1.92 billion in 2024, and it expects that figure to more than double to about $5 billion in 2025. It isn't cheap at 15 times that sales estimate, and its stock has already more than quadrupled since its initial public offering (IPO) just two months ago. But it could have plenty of room to grow as the AI market expands. CoreWeave's lack of profits, high debt, and plans to accelerate its spending on Nvidia's latest Blackwell GPUs could compress its near-term valuations and cool off its stock, but it could head a lot higher over the next few years if it successfully scales up its business and narrows its losses. D-Wave Computing develops quantum annealing tools which can help companies optimize their schedules, workflows, and supply chains. Through quantum computing, which stores zeros and ones simultaneously in qubits, it operates more efficiently than traditional computers which store that data in separate binary bits. D-Wave's core Leap platform, which can be integrated into bigger public cloud platforms, is essentially a quantum-powered efficiency expert. It runs an organization's processes through its systems in various ways, and it identifies the one which consumes the least power as the most efficient. As a quantum-powered platform, D-Wave can map out all of those potential outcomes at a much faster rate than traditional computers. More than 100 companies -- including Deloitte, Mastercard, Lockheed Martin, and Accenture -- already use its services. That makes it a more practical play on the nascent quantum-computing market than its other niche research-oriented peers. From 2024 to 2027, analysts expect D-Wave's revenue to surge from $9 million to $74 million. It's not expected to turn profitable anytime soon, and it might seem absurdly overvalued at 70 times its projected sales for 2027. But it could grow a lot bigger as the quantum-computing market expands over the next few decades. QuantumScape is another speculative stock which could skyrocket over the long run. It develops solid-state lithium metal batteries which have better thermal resistance, faster charging times, and last longer than traditional lithium ion batteries. That makes them well suited for electric vehicles (EV), but it hasn't commercialized any of its batteries yet. QuantumScape is backed by Volkswagen, and its first QSE-5 batteries will have a fast charging time of less than 15 minutes with an EV range of up to 500 miles. Most EVs currently have a range of roughly 300 miles with an average charging time of 30 minutes. It's only shipped a few low-volume samples so far, and it doesn't expect to mass produce any batteries or generate any revenue until 2026. But this year, the company is transitioning from its older Raptor separator process to its newer Cobra process. That long-awaited upgrade should boost its stability and yields to pave the way toward the mass production of its batteries. QuantumScape is worth $2.4 billion right now, but it's tough to value because it's unprofitable, isn't generating any revenue yet, and still faces competition from other battery makers and automakers. But if it successfully scales up its business, it might just attract a stampede of bulls and outperform any of the market's top cryptocurrencies.

It's the closest we're likely to get to a global release for
Xiaomi's SU7 Ultra is launching outside China... in Gran Turismo. Xiaomi's souped up EV, which last year set a record lap time for a four-door car at the Nürburgring, albeit using a stripped-out prototype to do so. There's no release date just yet for the car's addition to Gran Turismo 7 though.

Market House gets its doors
Thanks to a $44,000 grant award announced in the midst of the 155th anniversary of its construction, the Meadville Market House will soon be in the market for new doors. The current doors don't date back to the time of its construction in 1870, but they are believed to be more than 50 years old, according to Ashley Mattocks-Rose, who chairs the authority that oversees the Market House. 'We couldn't be more excited about it — new roof, new doors,' Mattocks Rose said in a phone interview Friday, recalling another grant announced in April that will provide $560,000 in funding for roof upgrades at the historic structure. 'We just really feel like we've got great momentum right now. It's a really exciting time for Meadville in general and for what the Market House means to Meadville.' The grant to the Market House was among 37 awards announced Thursday by the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission (PHMC). The recipients were selected from a competitive pool of 114 applicants. Each award requires a local match equal to the amount of the grant, according to the announcement. Other recipients in the state's northwestern region included the Erie County historical society, which received $100,000 to repair 96 original wood-framed windows in the historic Watson-Curtze mansion. Venango County will receive $100,000 to replace its courthouse roof. Built in 1868, the building's slate roof is believed to date to approximately 1905. The Oil City Civic Center will receive $15,000 for a new security camera system "We are pleased to support these important projects from across the Commonwealth," said Andrea Lowery, PHMC executive director. "It is rewarding to impact communities in 15 counties. The selected projects beautifully showcase what historic resources Pennsylvanians value – from cornerstone buildings in their downtowns, like a historic market house and a significant industrial complex, to an historic barn. This investment ensures that Pennsylvania's cultural memory will be preserved for future generations." The Market House grant will be supplemented in part with about $15,000 raised through the facility's 2024 Crawford Gives campaign, which specifically highlighted the need for new doors, according to Mattocks-Rose. The Market Authority kicked off the campaign with a parody music video featuring Mattocks-Rose and friend Austin Kulyk. The video, which amassed 10,000 views in less than 24 hours, featured the two singers seated in the building's seated in the main market space with a Market House-themed takeoff of the song 'Love is an Open Door' from the Disney musical 'Frozen.' 'We really need new doors,' the duo sang in the video, which is no longer available on the Market House Facebook page. 'Help us replace our doooooors — historically accurate doors.' Mattocks-Rose said she didn't think the video was part of the authority's grant application, but said another video would likely be part of the strategy for the 2025 Crawford Gives event later this summer. The high cost of replacing the doors results from the need for custom fabrication of doors that are both historically appropriate and secure. Mattocks-Rose said a handicapped accessible entrance is also being considered for the building's northwest corner. A timeline for construction has not yet been determined. The building's 155-year history is the result of extended collective effort, according to Mattock-Rose, and the impending investments in the structure could set the stage for improvements in programming. 'It feels like now is the time to really just ramp this building up,' she said. 'Our job is to make sure that it's open for another 155 years.'
