More than 1 million power banks recalled after some consumers report fires
NEW YORK — More than 1.15 million power banks are under recall across the U.S. after some fires and explosions were reported by consumers. According to a Thursday notice from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, electronics maker Anker Innovations is recalling certain 'PowerCore 10000' power banks because the lithium-ion battery inside can overheat. An overheating battery can lead to 'melting of plastic components, smoke, and fire hazards,' Anker wrote in an accompanying announcement . The company added that it was conducting this recall 'out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety of our customers.' According to the CPSC, China-based Anker has received 19 reports of fires and explosions involving these now-recalled portable chargers. That includes two minor burn injuries and 11 reports of property damage amounting to over $60,700. The recalled 'PowerCore 10000' power banks have a model number of A1263. They were sold online at Anker's website — as well as Amazon, eBay and Newegg — between June 2016 and December 2022 for about $27 across the U.S., per the recall notice. Consumers in possession these now-recalled chargers are urged to stop using them immediately — and contact Anker for a free replacement. Impacted consumers can visit Anker's website for more information and register for the recall. To receive a replacement, consumers will need to submit a photo of their recalled power bank that shows its model number, serial number, their name, date and the word 'recalled' written on the product. Both the CPSC and Anker note that these power banks should not be thrown directly in the trash or general recycling streams. Due to fire risks, recalled lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries — so it's important to check local guidance.

10 new electric vehicle chargers added for public use in Mississippi's capital city
The city of Jackson announced 10 new chargers for electric vehicle owners on Thursday thanks to a $160,000 donation from Entergy. City officials said the public chargers — located at stations at the Warren Hood Building parking lot on the corner of Pearl Street and State Street, as well as Thalia Mara Hall and Union Station — are free to use for now but didn't know for how long that would stay the case. As of 2023, Mississippi had the fewest number of electric vehicles on the road per capita, based on registration data from the U.S. Department of Energy. DOE numbers also show Mississippi has the second fewest public charging stations per capita after Louisiana. In 2018, state lawmakers passed an annual fee of $150 for electric car owners and $75 for hybrid vehicles owners as a way of compensating for lost gas tax revenue. Entergy bought the chargers from Tesla, and the nonprofit Adopt a Charger installed the units through local contractor Lavallee, which will also maintain them for the city. Jackson's Planning and Development Director Jhai Keeton said the city is paying just $600 a year for the chargers. Adopt a Charger partners with private companies, in this case Entergy, who want to sponsor charging stations for public use. The nonprofit, according to its website, has also partnered on stations at the Mississippi Children's Museum and at Hinds Community College in Raymond. While there were already several charging stations in Jackson, the ones unveiled Thursday are the first owned by the city. Prior to then, Tupelo had the most charging stations of any Mississippi city with 13, according to DOE data. Hattiesburg and Jackson, not including the new stations, each have 12, and there are 10 in both Biloxi and Gulfport. The Mississippi Department of Transportation is using $50 million in federal funds to develop electric vehicle corridors with 30 new stations throughout the state, but those projects are likely one to two years away. ___ This story was originally published by Mississippi Today and distributed through a partnership with The Associated Press.

Penske driver Scott McLaughlin's tough month ends with hope for a fresh start at Gateway
Scott McLaughlin's miserable month of May — he crashed twice at the Indianapolis 500, caused a crash at Detroit and engaged in a post-race social media feud with Tony Kanaan — has finally ended. Now it's on to Gateway outside of St. Louis and a fresh start for the Team Penske driver as IndyCar prepares for only its second race on an oval this season and first event televised in prime-time by Fox. 'That whole month was pretty tough. It started really well. It ended in a couple bad ways,' McLaughlin acknowledged. 'It was one of, if not the lowest, points of my career. But it's something that I'll learn from. Champions are made learning from their mistakes.' McLaughlin crashed in practice at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and it prevented him from taking a car that many believed was a threat to win the pole out to qualify. Hours later, teammates Josef Newgarden and Will Power were found to have illegal modifications on their cars and were disqualified from qualifying. The ensuing days were chaotic as team owner Roger Penske, who also owns IndyCar, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indy 500, handled the situation internally by firing his top three IndyCar executives. The housecleaning included Tim Cindric, who had spent 25 years with Penske and was the architect of much of the organizations' success. Newgarden and Power were penalized and dropped to the back of the field for the start of the 500, while McLaughlin got to keep his 10th-place starting position. But come race day, armed with new crew members, McLaughlin was determined to earn his first Indy 500 victory. Instead, he crashed on the warm-up lap and immediately burst into tears. The New Zealander hoped to rebound one week later on the streets of Detroit, but contact with Arrow McLaren driver Nolan Siegel caused Siegel to crash. McLaughlin finished 12th, lowest of the Penske trio at Detroit. He later engaged in a tense social media back-and-forth with McLaren team principal Kanaan, and it ramped up when Kanaan took aim at both McLaughlin's crash at Indy on the warm-up lap and the Penske firings in comments that seemed over-the-line. 'Misjudged last week, misjudged this week, at least you get a weekend off to square that away,' Kanaan wrote. 'I came looking for your team principal to have a chat but I couldn't find him. Oh wait……' IndyCar was off last week and McLaughlin said he and Kanaan have spoken, but he declined to discuss the details. He later insisted all is well between the two rivals even though it wasn't the first time the two have argued on social media. It's been a recurring theme dating to last season when McLaughlin criticized McLaren's revolving door of drivers. 'Me and T.K. are completely fine. We cleared the air. There was nothing to really clear,' McLaughlin said. 'It's like he clapped back, and I clapped back. It's just how it is. I thought it was funny that he posted during the race. I, like, responded. I didn't think he was going to respond the next time, but he did. 'Me and T.K. have always sort of talked on the social media. It's not like a year-long feud. It's just one of those deals where someone's going to call me out, I'll clap back as well. It's just who I am. I'm not going to change.' Did he take Kanaan's words personally, considering Team Penske had a major overhaul of team personnel at Indianapolis? 'It is what it is. That was his decision,' McLaughlin said. The upheaval at Penske is ongoing as IndyCar readies for Sunday night's race at Gateway. Penske has had to shift personnel across three teams to cover the vacancies and the three-car lineup will have new engineers and strategists again this weekend. It makes it difficult to win — all three Penske drivers have yet to make it to victory lane this season — against Alex Palou of Chip Ganassi Racing. Palou has won five of seven races this season, including the Indianapolis 500. Kyle Kirkwood of Andretti Global has won the other two. McLaughlin hasn't given up and believes Palou's run will eventually come to an end. He has two wins on ovals — Iowa and Milwaukee — and a pair of podium finishes at Gateway. McLaughlin finished second there last year. 'I definitely don't think anyone's unstoppable. I think when they're going through a purple patch, they're executing like they are, it's tough,' he said of Palou. 'You have to figure out where you can be better and stronger and adapt to that. I enjoy that challenge. He's on a great run. There's no stopping us from learning where we can improve and where we can be better. 'We have some great tracks coming up for us. Just got to keep our heads down, keep focused and learn as much as we can.' ___ AP auto racing:
