Promising reviews:
'This is amazing! I never heard of it before, but my dad has one. My car was totally dead. It had been sitting for three months, and it started right up after using the Halo. I bought myself one and had to use it twice already. It's good for three car charges before you have to recharge the Halo. I never jumped a car before, and I was able to figure this out all by myself.' —kim philanthropichr'I bought this to keep in my Corolla while traveling alone. I didn't want to have to rely on strangers if I needed a jump, or to be stranded hours from home. I charged it and left it in the car. Even in cold temps, it has held its charge over the past couple of months. I tried it for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised at how powerful it is. I was able to quickly and easily jump my husband's work truck — a newer F250 truck with a 6.2 engine. Definitely worth the money. I'm impressed and will probably buy another for hubby as well!' —Jen'This has come in handy so many times that I bought one for everyone in the house. Almost right after getting it, my daughter used it at school because her friend's car needed a jump start. It is so worth the money. We have AAA, but why wait?!?!?!?! I'll let them tow and fix a flat. I would recommend the Halo to anyone, and I have.' —Madeezdaddee

Hertz to sell used vehicles online through Amazon Autos partnership
Hertz on Wednesday announced it will start selling preowned vehicles on Amazon Autos, a move meant to bolster the car rental company's retail operations as it looks to bring in more profits. Shares of Hertz soared Wednesday. Under the partnership, customers can browse from thousands of used Hertz vehicles on Amazon Autos, e-sign the paperwork, complete their purchase online and pick up their vehicle at Hertz locations. Customers who live within 75 miles of the four initial cities — Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and Seattle — can start browsing on Amazon as soon as Wednesday, and Hertz eventually plans to expand the arrangement to 45 locations nationwide. The partnership gives Hertz, known for its car rentals, more visibility and a potential profit boost for its auto sales business. It also marks an expansion for Amazon's nascent autos business, which it launched in December through a partnership with Hyundai. Before that, shoppers could browse digital showrooms and compare prices on Amazon, but not purchase cars directly through the e-commerce giant. Amazon Autos added used and certified preowned vehicles to its selection of offerings earlier this month starting in Los Angeles, after previously selling exclusively new vehicles. Hertz Car Sales is Amazon Autos' first fleet dealer and will offer used vehicles from brands including Ford, Toyota, Chevrolet and Nissan. Hertz said it sells hundreds of thousands of vehicles per year, in addition to running its signature car rental business. 'Our goal is to reimagine the car-buying experience and meet customers where they are — whether online or in person — with convenience, confidence and scale,' said Jeff Adams, executive vice president of Hertz Car Sales. 'Amazon Autos is the ideal partner to help us deliver on this as customers can shop our expansive inventory of high-quality used cars on the same trusted marketplace where millions shop every day.' The partnership with Amazon Autos is aimed at expanding Hertz's digital retail presence and making its used vehicle inventory more accessible to customers. It's part of a larger strategy that Hertz set out earlier this year, led by CEO Gil West, to boost its retail business by increasing its retail footprint, raising awareness of the Hertz Car Sales brand and building strategic partnerships. After entering bankruptcy during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and dealing with a failed EV strategy shortly after that, Hertz last year introduced its 'Back-to-Basics Roadmap' turnaround plan. The focus is on fleet management, revenue optimization and cost efficiency. Hertz said the first quarter of this year marked its strongest-ever quarter for retail vehicle sales. During the company's Aug. 7 earnings call, West said Hertz has seen strong momentum in its Rent2Buy program, which allows customers to take a used car home for a three-day rental period before committing to buying it. Hertz announced last week that the program is set to reach more than 100 cities. — CNBC's Annie Palmer contributed to this report.

Crank Windows, No Touchscreen: This EV Truck Lets You Build It Your Way
What It Is A super-small all-electric pickup, the first product from this startup American automaker invested in by Amazon's Jeff Bezos. But Slate is about more than just the Truck (yes, that's its name). It will build the Truck in only one ultra-basic configuration—think crank windows, cloth seats, no touchscreen—while a vast accessory ecosystem will let owners customize and personalize their Truck how they please. Colorful custom wraps, interior tech, trim upgrades, a suspension lift, and even an SUV conversion kit are on the menu; Slate says only the powertrain and chassis electronics are off-limits to changes. As Slate will open-source its designs, what accessories might be created for the Truck won't come only from the automaker itself. Why It Matters Slate seeks to upend paradigms in today's auto industry, going smaller and cheaper rather than bigger and pricier with its debut vehicle. The company sees modern cars and trucks as excessively complex, increasing costs and detracting from the user experience. Instead of deciding what its vehicle is or isn't, Slate will let customers choose through accessorizing—the spectrum ranging from inexpensive no-frills workhorses to built and bedazzled runabouts. Slate thinks the Truck will appeal to shoppers seeking the cheapest and simplest new vehicle, business operators who need to haul things, and lifestyle drivers wanting a fun little project car to wrench on. Platform and Powertrain The Truck will be built on the so-called Slateboard architecture, which combines certain elements of a traditional truck frame and carlike unibody. Its molded-in-color gray plastic body panels are designed to resist dents and accommodate a range of accessories. As standard, the Truck is equipped with a single rear electric motor that produces 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. It draws energy from a 52.7-kWh battery pack, which provides approximately 150 miles of driving range. An optional 84.3-kWh battery extends the range up to 240 miles. Slate is aware of customer demand for a dual-motor all-wheel-drive EV powertrain. The Truck recharges via a Tesla-style NACS port. Estimated Price $20,000–$30,000 Expected On-Sale Date: 2027 or 2028
