The adapter will cost $220 and can be ordered on Lucid's website. With it, Lucid Air sedan owners can simply roll up to any Tesla Supercharger station and plug in. Charging sessions can be initiated and paid for through the Lucid app. Of course, Lucid Gravity owners won't need to bother with the adapter since their electric SUV comes with a native NACS port. Lucid is also announcing a bump in the 2026 Air Touring's range to 431 miles — maintaining the California company's perch as king of the range among all other EVs.

HOME PRICE GROWTH IN OPPORTUNITY ZONES SLIGHTLY BEHIND REST OF NATION IN SECOND QUARTER

Price Gains Inside Opportunity Zones Targeted for Economic Redevelopment Edged Up This Spring but Trailed the Broader U.S. Housing Market IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ATTOM, a leading curator of land, property data, and real estate analytics, today released its second-quarter 2025 report analyzing qualified low-income Opportunity Zones targeted by Congress for economic redevelopment in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (see full methodology below). In this report, ATTOM looked at 3,838 zones around the United States with sufficient data to analyze, meaning they had at least five home sales in the second quarter of 2025. The report found that median single-family home and condo prices increased from the first to the second quarter of 2025 in 57 percent of Opportunity Zones around the country with enough data to measure. About half of Opportunity Zone census tracts, 50.5 percent, saw median home values rise compared to the same time last year. That was a smaller share than the rest of the country: Home values rose in 56 percent of census tracts outside of Opportunity Zones. Shop Top Mortgage Rates Your Path to Homeownership A quicker path to financial freedom Personalized rates in minutes As the country as a whole saw record-high home prices in the second quarter of 2025, about 8.4 percent of Opportunity Zones experienced their highest median prices since at least 2008. And 39 percent of Opportunity Zones with sufficient data to analyze saw median property values rise by 10 percent or more annually. However, price growth was slowest in Opportunity Zones that had the lowest median home sales prices while prices rose in similar shares of Opportunity Zone census tracts in the mid- and high-priced zones. "Home values in most Opportunity Zones continue to move in step with the broader market—a pattern we've tracked since we began studying this segment," said Rob Barber, CEO of ATTOM. "Drill down, though, and volatility persists, especially in the lowest-priced neighborhoods. Limited inventory nationwide is still driving prices higher and nudging marginal buyers toward areas with deeper economic challenges." Barber added, "Even with that upward pressure, a significant share of Opportunity Zone markets are trailing the nation in year-over-year price gains, reminding us that the recovery remains uneven and that some communities have a longer road ahead." Opportunity Zones are defined in the Tax Act legislation as census tracts in or alongside low-income neighborhoods that meet various criteria for redevelopment in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories. Census tracts, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, cover areas that have 1,200 to 8,000 residents, with an average of about 4,000 people. While the gap between census tracts in and outside of Opportunity zones is relatively modest when it comes to how likely they were to experience price growth in the second quarter of 2025, the actual sticker prices of homes in these areas still tends to be much lower. In the second quarter, 79.9 percent of Opportunity Zone census tracts posted median home prices below the national median of $369,000. About half of Opportunity Zone census tracts (49.6 percent) had median home prices under $225,000. Considerable price volatility also continued inside Opportunity Zones. The median home price rose or fell by more than 5 percent year-over-year in 73 percent of the Opportunity Zone census tracts in ATTOM's analysis. That likely reflected small numbers of sales in many zones. Major findings from the report: Median prices of single-family homes and condos rose from the first to the second quarter of 2025 in 57.3 percent (1,813) of the 3,162 Opportunity Zone census tracts with sufficient data to analyze in both quarters. Year-over-year, median values rose in 50.5 percent (1,938) of the 3,432 Opportunity Zone census tracts with sufficient data. Home prices rose annually in a smaller share (50.5 percent) of Opportunity Zone census tracts compared to the 56 percent of tracts located outside the zones that saw median prices increase. A larger share of Opportunity Zones tracts saw median prices grow by 10 percent or more annually: 39 percent of tracts inside the zones compared to 32 percent of tracts outside the zones. The areas with the lowest home values saw the most sluggish growth, with only 39 percent (289) of the 742 Opportunity Zone census tracts where median sales prices were below $125,000 seeing any increase in prices year-over-year. The Midwest saw the strongest growth among its Opportunity Zones. Among states with at least 25 Opportunity Zones that had sufficient data to analyze in the second quarter of 2025, Wisconsin had the highest share where median home prices grew year-over-year (medians up from the second quarter of 2024 to the second quarter of 2025 in 68 percent of zones), followed by Indiana (65 percent), Iowa (65 percent), Michigan (64 percent), and Missouri (59 percent). Home prices in most Opportunity Zones are well below those outside of them. About half of Opportunity Zone census tracts had median home prices below $225,000 in the second quarter of 2025 while the national median home price was $369,000. The majority (54 percent) of Midwestern Opportunity Zone census tracts had median home prices below $175,000, compared to the Northeast (38 percent), the South (36 percent), and the West (6 percent). Report methodologyThe ATTOM Opportunity Zones analysis is based on home sales price data derived from recorded sales deeds. Statistics for previous quarters are revised when each new report is issued as more deed data becomes available. ATTOM's analysis compared median home prices in census tracts designated as Opportunity Zones by the Internal Revenue Service. Except where noted, tracts were used for the analysis if they had at least five sales in the second quarter of 2025. Median household income data for tracts and counties comes from surveys taken by the U.S. Census Bureau ( from 2019 through 2023. The list of designated Qualified Opportunity Zones is located at U.S. Department of the Treasury. Regions are based on designations by the Census Bureau. Hawaii and Alaska, which the bureau designates as part of the Pacific region, were included in the West region for this report.

Exclusive-Canada defense review makes case for sticking with F-35 jets, sources say

By David Ljunggren OTTAWA (Reuters) -Canadian defense officials have strongly made the case that Ottawa should stick to a plan to buy 88 Lockheed Martin Corp F-35 fighter jets rather than splitting the order, two sources familiar with the matter said on Thursday. The review stops short of making a formal recommendation, one of the sources said. The final decision rests with the Liberal government of Prime Minister Mark Carney, said the sources, who requested anonymity given the sensitivity of the situation. Carney, who won the April election on a promise to stand up to U.S. President Donald Trump, had requested the review by military officials in March on the grounds that Canada was over-reliant on the U.S. defense industry. Ottawa has made a legal commitment of funds for the first 16 F-35 aircraft. Although Carney made clear in March that Canada could seriously look at buying the remaining 72 planes from non-U.S. companies, the Defense Ministry review concluded there was no military sense in splitting the order. The F-35 is the most advanced fighter of its type, and buying another jet from a European rival would incur extra costs in training, supplies, and maintenance. The Canadian Armed Forces are highly integrated with their U.S. counterparts. Sticking to the original plan could remove a potential irritant in relations with the United States at a moment when talks on a new trade and security relationship have stalled. Since winning the election, Carney has softened his tone, noting that despite U.S. tariffs on steel, aluminum, and cars, Canada is in a good position compared to other nations facing higher tariffs. In a statement, the office of Defence Minister David McGuinty reiterated that Canada planned to buy 88 fighter jets. "We are committed to procuring what the air force needs, while ensuring economic benefits for Canadians and the responsible use of taxpayer dollars," it said. Carney's office declined to comment. Canada announced plans to buy the F-35s in 2010, but a switch in governments, rule changes for aircraft procurement, as well as challenges from the pandemic, triggered major delays.
