The partnership creates economies of scale by aligning Taiga's growing demand for vehicle charging with Aqua superPower's infrastructure and charging software offering—lowering deployment costs and accelerating network expansion for both recreational and fleet applications.
'By combining demand and deployment, the companies overcome the two-sided market challenge inherent in electrification,' said Karen Gill, COO of Aqua superPower. 'Infrastructure must often lead the way—but by joining forces, Taiga and Aqua are accelerating both sides of the equation.'

China's Record-Breaking ‘Black Myth: Wukong' Game Gets a Sequel

Game Science, the startup behind one of last year's biggest new role-playing games, is working on a successor in the series, Black Myth: Zhong Kui. Introduced at the Gamescom conference in Cologne, Germany, a new teaser trailer showcases Game Science's signature penchant for high-fidelity graphics and taps Chinese folklore again to add a daunting new character to the fantasy universe initiated by Black Myth: Wukong a year ago. Zhong, much like Wukong before him, is a god from ancient myths, with a red beard, dark skin and glowing eyes.

Asia shares slip, dollar steadies ahead of Jackson Hole

By Rae Wee SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Shares in Asia fell on Wednesday, weighed down by a tech-led selloff on Wall Street, while the dollar gained some ground ahead of a key meeting of central bankers later in the week. Oil prices inched higher after falling in the previous session, as traders bet that talks over a possible agreement to end the war in Ukraine could ease sanctions on Russian crude oil, boosting global supply. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan fell 0.47%, as did stock futures in Europe and the U.S.. EUROSTOXX 50 futures slid 0.55%, while DAX futures lost 0.5% and FTSE futures eased 0.14%. S&P 500 futures dipped 0.2% and Nasdaq futures lost 0.34%, extending its fall from the cash session overnight. [.N] "The S&P 500 and Nasdaq slumped overnight as investors ditched high-flying tech stocks with their lofty valuations," said Tony Sycamore, a market analyst at IG. Adding to headwinds for the sector, news that Nvidia and AMD have agreed to give the U.S. government 15% of the revenues from chip sales in China, as well as reports that the U.S. is considering taking a 10% stake in Intel, have stoked investor worries of the Trump administration's growing influence on tech companies. Sources also told Reuters that U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is looking into the federal government taking equity stakes in computer chip manufacturers that receive CHIPS Act funding to build factories in the country. "These developments signal that U.S. government is heading in a concerning and more interventionist direction," said Sycamore. Other bourses in Asia were similarly in the red on Wednesday, with Japan's Nikkei down 1.2%, while China's CSI300 blue-chip index fell 0.5%. Much of investors' attention at the start of the week was on a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and a group of European allies over the Russia-Ukraine war. While the talks concluded without much fanfare, Trump said the United States would help guarantee Ukraine's security in any deal to end Russia's war there. He later said on Tuesday that the United States might provide air support to Ukraine, while ruling out putting U.S. troops on the ground. "The U.S. is not categorically underwriting anything, any security for Ukraine, even if they're open to provide some, because we don't know the conditions under which they will. So there's quite a bit of risk left out there," said Vishnu Varathan, head of macro research for Asia ex-Japan at Mizuho. Oil prices recovered after a fall in the previous session, with Brent crude futures last up 0.46% at $66.09 a barrel. U.S. crude advanced 0.6% to $62.72 per barrel. [O/R] AWAITING JACKSON HOLE All eyes are now on the Kansas City Federal Reserve's August 21-23 Jackson Hole symposium, where Fed Chair Jerome Powell is due to speak on the economic outlook and the central bank's policy framework on Friday. Focus will be on what Powell says about the near-term outlook for rates, with traders almost fully pricing in a rate cut next month. "Given the apparent tensions between U.S. CPI and PPI data, (it) does come across as... premature to declare one way or the other. And most importantly, given this kind of dilemma embedded within the data, it is hard to decipher whether the Fed would take or would emphasise the risks that start to mount on the job side of the equation or (the) need to sit firm," said Mizuho's Varathan. Ahead of the gathering, the dollar firmed slightly, pushing the euro down 0.13% to $1.1633, while sterling fell 0.16% to $1.3470. The New Zealand dollar eased 0.17% to $0.5885 ahead of a rate decision by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand due shortly on Wednesday, where a rate cut is expected. Elsewhere, spot gold fell 0.07% to $3,312.89 an ounce.

Spokane Airport Board selects Lincoln, NE airport director as new CEO

Aug. 19—The Spokane Airport Board on Monday voted to select a new CEO to oversee Spokane International Airport and Felts Field. The board selected David Haring, who had been serving as the executive director of the Lincoln Airport Authority in Lincoln, Nebraska. Haring would replace Larry Krauter, who served as the CEO of Spokane Airports since 2011. Krauter announced last year that he was leaving for the same role overseeing the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, located across the Ohio River from Cincinnati in Hebron, Kentucky. According to a news release, Haring is a 20-year veteran of the airport industry. In his biography for the Lincoln Airport Authority, Haring is a private pilot who is from Pennsylvania and is an accredited airport executive. He graduated from the University of North Dakota. Prior to his appointment in 2014 as executive director of the Lincoln Airport Authority, Haring held a variety of positions at the Cheyenne Regional Airport in Cheyenne, Wyoming. There he served as its director of aviation from 2007 to 2014, according to the website. In Spokane, the airport is jointly owned by the city of Spokane and Spokane County. That means Haring's appointment must be approved by elected leaders from both bodies. He would replace Krauter, who added several nonstop routes from Spokane, started several terminal upgrades, added more parking and built a 1-mile rail line connecting the existing Geiger Spur line to the airport property. The Terminal Renovation and Expansion Project — called TREX — added a centralized security checkpoint, expanded baggage claim area and more gates to improve passenger flow at the airport. Haring did not immediately respond Monday to an email seeking comment. Solve the daily Crossword
