CATL

Chinese battery giant CATL has unveiled a new electric vehicle battery capable of recharging in about six minutes while delivering a range of roughly 1,000 kilometres (about 620 miles). The announcement positions the company at the front of the race to ease driver concerns over charging times and range anxiety, and is likely to put pressure on Western automakers and battery rivals racing to match the technology.

Cat lovers are playfully checking in on each other's mental health by rating their mood 'on a scale of cat', sharing photos of felines in various states of relaxation or chaos. The trend, tied to the weekly Caturday tradition, uses humour to open up conversations about mental health and encourage people to talk about how they are feeling.
