2026 Subaru Uncharted EV Is the Toyota C-HR by Another Name
Roughly similar in size to the Crosstrek, it's a twin of the Toyota C-HR and offers two powertrains: a 221-hp FWD single-motor setup or a 338-hp AWD dual-motor configuration.
The Uncharted will go on sale in the U.S. early next year.
The name Subaru Uncharted may evoke visions of a rugged off-roader, but this new electric SUV is charting new territory in ways that you might not expect. As a mechanical twin to the recently revealed Toyota C-HR, the Uncharted will be the smallest EV in the Subaru lineup. And though Subaru is notably a brand known for offering standard all-wheel drive across its lineup (save for the rear-wheel-drive BRZ sports car), the Uncharted will also be the first front-wheel-drive Subaru in decades. It will offer a 221-hp single-motor base model that aims to be a price and range leader compared with the optional all-wheel-drive setup.
Riding on the e-TNGA platform and sharing most of its bodywork with its Toyota sibling, the Subaru does have distinct front- and rear-end styling that makes it look similar to the larger Solterra electric SUV (which was also developed with Toyota). The Uncharted is a subcompact electric SUV that could be considered an electric equivalent to the Crosstrek, and it has a bit of extra black plastic cladding compared with the C-HR to give it that rugged appearance so closely associated with Subaru.

The base powertrain isn't typically Subaru, though, as it's a front-wheel-drive setup with a single electric motor producing 221 horsepower. Subaru says that this version, called FWD Premium, will be available in "limited quantities" and that it's meant to appeal to those looking for a more affordable option with extra range. Subaru estimates the FWD version will achieve a driving range of 300 miles on a charge. The battery pack is a 75-kWh lithium-ion unit that's standard across the board regardless of powertrain spec.
The optional all-wheel-drive configuration has considerably more power, with 338 horsepower courtesy of dual electric motors, one in front and one in the rear. It comes on the Sport and GT trim levels (curiously, Toyota takes a more Subaru-esque approach in offering the AWD setup as standard on the C-HR). This drops the estimated driving range down to 290 miles, although the AWD Uncharted claims an impressive 60-mph acceleration time of under 5.0 seconds. Subaru will offer its X-Mode off-road setting on the AWD versions.

The interior features a 14.0-inch touchscreen, dual wireless phone charging pads, and a two-row, five-seat layout. Subaru-specific touches include orange trim, optional water-repellent seat upholstery, and a squared-off steering wheel. Heated seats, a power tailgate, and ambient lighting are standard, while the Sport includes a heated steering wheel and a 360-degree camera system. The top GT trim level has a panoramic sunroof, 20-inch wheels, ventilated front seats, and an upgraded audio system.
The Uncharted comes with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) port that means it can be charged at Tesla Superchargers. Subaru claims it can charge at speeds of up to 150 kilowatts, meaning it should be able to get from 10 percent to 80 percent charge in 30 minutes.
We don't yet have pricing for the 2026 Uncharted, which goes on sale early next year, but we assume that the base front-wheel-drive model will be priced in the low-$30,000 range to compete with models such as the Hyundai Kona Electric and Kia Niro EV. The AWD versions will likely be in the upper-$30,000 to low-$40,000 range.

Which Cryptocurrency Is More Likely to Be a Millionaire Maker? Bitcoin vs. Ethereum
Key Points Bitcoin and Ethereum have performed very differently this year. Bitcoin has continued to reach new all-time highs. Ethereum has barley budged as investors try to understand if the network's use case can stand the test of time. 10 stocks we like better than Bitcoin › Despite being the two largest cryptocurrencies in the world, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) have been on very different paths this year. Bitcoin is up more than 26% (as of July 17), while Ethereum is up less than 2%. Bitcoin is considered a bellwether for the industry, but this year has really diverged. This leaves investors with a difficult proposition when picking between the two: buy the asset that just went on a strong run and hit all-time highs, or the one that has underperformed and could close the gap as a value play? Which cryptocurrency is more likely to be a millionaire maker, Bitcoin or Ethereum? Bitcoin: Digital gold and a flight to safety? Bitcoin has soared since President Donald Trump won the election back in November. Trump positioned himself as a crypto advocate during his campaign, and he's held that position since taking office, with several Trump-backed organizations delving into the crypto world with their own crypto businesses. Trump has surrounded himself with crypto advisors and installed pro-crypto officials in his cabinet, most notably at the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC, which was a lot tougher on crypto during former President Joe Biden's administration, has since dropped or settled many of its landmark cases against major crypto firms, while removing regulations that impeded growth. This has opened the door for the mainstream financial world to get more involved in crypto, whether it's offering custody services, more cryptocurrencies for sale on popular brokerages, or more willingness for institutions to buy and trade crypto. Bitcoin, as the most well-known cryptocurrency, is an obvious place to start and therefore will likely benefit from these prices. Trump also announced the creation of a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve that will hold Bitcoin already in custody by the U.S. government and look for budget-neutral ways to purchase more Bitcoin. Bitcoin also seems to be benefiting as more investors view it as a form of digital gold and therefore a hedge against inflation, with its finite supply of a maximum of 21 million coins, of which 19.9 million have already been mined. Regular gold has ripped in recent years, as investors grow increasingly concerned about the country's finances. The U.S. government now holds more $36.5 trillion in debt and has accumulated a $1.34 trillion deficit thus far in fiscal year 2025 after running a $1.83 trillion deficit in fiscal 2024. Geopolitical uncertainty has also made gold and potentially Bitcoin more attractive. Ethereum: Are the advantages real? Ethereum does not offer the same digital gold proposition as Bitcoin, but investors have largely viewed it favorably. For one, the network became the go-to place for developers to build smart contracts -- agreements that self-executive when certain terms are met. Many developers have also built their own tokens like Shiba Inu on Ethereum's network. Several years ago, many began to criticize the high energy usage of cryptocurrencies due to the proof-of-work mining consensus mechanism needed to validate and mint new blocks. Ethereum then executed a multiyear project to convert to a proof-of-stake system, in which Ethereum holders stake their tokens to have a chance to validate and mint new blocks. Through this process, investors could earn yield on their tokens being staked, leading some like Cathie Wood to suggest that Ethereum has "attributes" similar to that of U.S. Treasury bills. However, Ethereum has long struggled with congestion issues on its network, and competitors like Solana seem to pose a rising challenge. Furthermore, Ethereum seems to have lagged this year due to some of the same challenges that tech stocks have encountered like high interest rates and geopolitical uncertainty. On the plus side, several companies have begun deploying crypto treasury strategies for Ethereum similar to Michael Saylor's Strategy. Many like top investment strategist Tom Lee also see immense potential for the network due to the rise of stablecoins, which have become a popular topic of discussion since stablecoin issuer Circle went public earlier this year and saw its stock soar. The two largest stablecoins, Tether and USDC, are both hosted on Ethereum's network. Which is more likely to make you a millionaire? In my opinion, Bitcoin and Ethereum are really the only two cryptocurrencies that investors can safely buy and hold in their portfolios. Both are likely to remain somewhat volatile, and both offer strong use cases. But if I had to pick one, I am still going to choose Bitcoin. Whether it turns out to be true or not, a sizable portion of investors believe Bitcoin is a form of digital gold and the token's resilience through market turbulence, as well as a decrease in volatility, largely supports this narrative. This makes Bitcoin unique in that it can offer a form of diversification. Furthermore, BlackRock, the largest asset manager in the world, has said that it's OK to allocate as much as 2% of a multi-asset portfolio to Bitcoin, which could make it a more common holding in the typical portfolio. Again, I think it's perfectly fine to own Ethereum, but Bitcoin really seems like it has achieved a level of acceptance that few, if any, cryptocurrencies will be able to replicate.

‘Menace to Society:' Man Says Ford, Nissan, and Chevy Make the ‘3 Most Reckless Cars on the Road.' Are You Driving One?
In a Facebook post , Alshvn OnlyUp (@ humorously revealed his picks for the top three most reckless cars on the road. The post went viral, generating over 330,000 views as of this writing. What Are the 3 Most Reckless Cars on the Road? 'These cars change lanes like they are playing GTA. No signal, no warning,' Alshvn begins. The first car on the list is the Nissan Altima. Alshvn starts out by calling this car the 'menace to society.' 'If you drive one of these, your license is probably suspended, [the] check engine light is on, and your bumper is hanging on for dear life. There is no telling what lane you are in or where you are heading, but you will get there aggressively,' Alshvn jokes. The second car he features is the legendary Ford Crown Victoria. 'If you are rolling in one of these, chances are you are from the hood or you move like it. Oh, that spotlight by the driver's door, that probably doesn't even work, [but] as soon as you pull on someone, they are slowing down thinking you are the police,' Alshvn shares. Last, but definitely not least, the Chevy Impala rounds out the list. 'In this car, you either fly past everyone in the fast lane or on the side of the road with your hazards on since your transmission just went out. There's no in between,' Alshvn claims. Alshvn told Motor1 , 'The video was made with humor in mind. I picked the Altima, Crown Vic, and Impala because of some of the wild things I've seen—both on the road and online. It wasn't meant to offend anybody, just to poke fun at the stereotypes in car culture. I believe that mixing humor with real car talk is part of what makes content like this connect.' Gotta Be Careful With Those Altimas If you aren't already aware, the Nissan Altima is a car that is very negatively stereotyped among the online car community, GT Planet reports. According to the stereotype, you'll see them weaving through traffic at high speeds and blowing red lights, Autopian shares. These reckless maneuvers have earned the car a bad reputation among the car community on Reddit . Nissan Altima drivers have been targeted by meme culture for being bad drivers and having a negative credit score. The viewers on the post also agreed with Alshvn's take. 'Nissan Altima aka the hood hellcat,' one commenter shared. 'Facts I'll pull over anytime I see a Nissan Altima, stay away,' another replied. The Legendary Crown Vic The Ford Crown Victoria was a popular choice for police departments in North America and even won the Best Cop Car Award, Forbes reports. Most police departments parted ways with the Crown Vic in 2011 due to not having Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), the International Security Driver Association reports. The end of the era left many Crown Vic Police Inspectors on the streets for everyday drivers to use. Some people dislike the Crown Vic because of its association with the police. The Chevy Impala Fast Lane 'Chevrolet Impala you've convinced yourself it's a luxury car and actually call it that,' a Reddit user roasts. This luxury reputation was partially influenced by rappers in the late 80s and 90s rapping about the mid-60s models. Owning and driving an early to mid-1960s model Impala was viewed as a status symbol, according to a Quora expert. These Impalas were rare and fast, with a beautiful design. Chevy has had multiple Impala models with transmission issues, according to Endurance Warranty. The issues have included transmission failure, slippage, and rough shifting.

I ditched Google Calendar for paper, and it gave me the mental clarity I needed
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority I started using a paper calendar as sort of a joke. It was part of my experiment to live as if I were back in 1993. I ditched all modern tech and bought a weekly planner from the dollar store. My busy adult life still needed some kind of planning system. I didn't expect to stick with it after my experiment was up, but you know what? I did. The experiment ended but the paper calendar stuck around. It found a home on my desk, where I've been using it every day since then. It's strange because Google Calendar had been my go-to tool for years. It organized everything in my life, from my kids' dentist appointments to my bike rides. But weirdly, I feel more in control of my schedule with pen and paper than I did with Google's digital tools. Do you feel stressed by your digital life? 0 votes Yes, my digital life is a disorganized mess. NaN % Sometimes, and I'm thinking of changing. NaN % Sometimes, but I can deal. NaN % No, my digital life is perfect for me. NaN % I made the switch to slow down Nathan Drescher / Android Authority Maybe you've felt the same way I was feeling: the constant dinging, the notification dots, that feeling that no matter what you do, you're a disorganized mess who can't get all your ducks in a row. So, you add more to your calendar, more to your to-do list, more to your note-taking apps. I've been there too. I was worn down by digital fatigue and wanted something that would slow my life down without losing control of the things that matter. The paper planner I bought for that experiment turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. It slowed me down and made me think about each item I added to my day. I gained some mental space by switching It took some self-discipline to get started, but the habit of sitting with my calendar each morning formed surprisingly quickly. Here's what I do at the beginning of every day: Open my planner and see if there are any items left over from yesterday. Add those to today's tasks and put three exclamation marks next to them (!!!). Check if I have any appointments already entered for the day. Check Slack and Asana and add any tasks due for the day. Check my shared family calendar and add anything my wife has put in for the day. The whole thing takes about five minutes, and it gives me a sense of clarity that digital tools never did. Nathan Drescher / Android Authority I add appointments to their specific day when I make them. I add due dates for bills a month in advance, so when I get to that specific day, it's there. Funny enough, by writing them into a calendar, I haven't forgotten about them. In fact, this has kept me more on my budget than ever before, and I find I no longer forget appointments or important events. This has kept me more on my budget than ever before. As I complete tasks, I cross them off my list and feel a sense of accomplishment. Then I sit down with my calendar at the end of the day for a minute or two and review what I've done for the day and what's coming up tomorrow. That small moment of reflection each day has helped me stay focused and intentional. Not everything works as well in a paper calendar Joe Maring / Android Authority There's a lot more friction when working with a paper planner. I can't just whip something into my calendar while I'm out and about, so it means I often have to make a note of something in Obsidian and then remember to transfer it to my calendar when I get home. That's a lot of hoops to jump through, and I've definitely missed a few things this way. There are no push notifications or emails, so I have to check the calendar throughout the day. And the convenience of adding emails, addresses, and notes to an event in Google Calendar cannot be understated. I do a lot of meetings and interviews as a journalist, and Google Calendar allows me to track everything I need when I'm meeting with a subject. Not so my dollar store weekly planner. I'm going to stick with paper for the time being Nathan Drescher / Android Authority Still, I haven't gone back. The pros outweigh the cons, and the paper planner has brought some much-needed peace to my life. It has slowed my life down in a way I didn't know I needed. It forces me to be more mindful of my schedule and more present in my own life. I still use Google Calendar for family events and meetings, because there are some things a paper calendar could never replace. But for everything else, I spend the time to jot it down with a pen, review it every day, think about what it means, and actually do it. No scrolling, no notifications, and no cloud sync. It just sits there, waiting for me, and I didn't know how badly I needed that until I tried it.
