It’s the first time in the history of the modern Olympics that’s being held outside of a stadium, officials say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The open-air event is expected to draw some 300,000 spectators — most of whom will pay no admission fee to watch the parade from the river’s upper embankments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The parade will travel east to west, starting at Austerlitz Bridge, and then pass by major landmarks and event venues like the \u003ca href=\"https://olympics.com/en/news/paris-2024-games-grand-palais-a-long-olympic-history\">Grand Palais\u003c/a>.

A swimmable Seine?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There’s also the matter of the Seine as a competition venue.

Breaking — best known to the uninitiated as “break-dancing” — is a dance style said to have originated in the 1970s from the streets of New York City’s South Bronx and inspired by the break beats and hip-hop tracks played by DJs and MCs. But the athleticism involved in the art form — head-spins, backflips and other acrobatics — is undeniable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breaking became more mainstream in the 1990s as it entered pop culture and expanded in popularity through international competition. And in 2016, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) added breaking to the 2018 Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although it’s an American export, other countries, including Japan, Canada and The Netherlands, boast talent that’s been known to surpass the U.S. competitively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Paris, 16 b-boys (male breakers) and 16 b-girls will go head to head in separate battles at Place de la Concorde, an outdoor public square.

The rivalry between American and Jamaican sprinters\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The 100-meter sprint, the most popular track event, has shaped up to be a familiar two-nation race. Representing Jamaica in the women’s race is Shericka Jackson, whose biggest challenge is American Sha’Carri Richardson. But don’t overlook Jamaican sprint queen Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who will race in her fifth and final Olympics 16 years after becoming the first Caribbean woman to win the 100-meter gold. They are chasing Florence Griffith Joyner’s record set in 1988.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 200-meter, there’s a real chance we could see the fall of Flo-Jo’s world record, set that same year when she ran 21.34 seconds.

A swimmable Seine?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There’s also the matter of the Seine as a competition venue.

Breaking — best known to the uninitiated as “break-dancing” — is a dance style said to have originated in the 1970s from the streets of New York City’s South Bronx and inspired by the break beats and hip-hop tracks played by DJs and MCs. But the athleticism involved in the art form — head-spins, backflips and other acrobatics — is undeniable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breaking became more mainstream in the 1990s as it entered pop culture and expanded in popularity through international competition.

The rivalry between American and Jamaican sprinters\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The 100-meter sprint, the most popular track event, has shaped up to be a familiar two-nation race. Representing Jamaica in the women’s race is Shericka Jackson, whose biggest challenge is American Sha’Carri Richardson. But don’t overlook Jamaican sprint queen Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who will race in her fifth and final Olympics 16 years after becoming the first Caribbean woman to win the 100-meter gold. They are chasing Florence Griffith Joyner’s record set in 1988.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 200-meter, there’s a real chance we could see the fall of Flo-Jo’s world record, set that same year when she ran 21.34 seconds. Jackson will go head-to-head with teammate Elaine Thompson-Herah and Gabby Thomas of Team USA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the men’s 100-meter race, Noah Lyles on Team USA will face Jamaica’s Oblique Seville and Kishane Thompson, each aiming to break the world record time set by eight-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt. Still, the field is brimming with talent that clouds podium predictions. Other top contenders include reigning Olympic champion Marcell Jacobs of Italy, Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo and a former world champion American Fred Kerley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyles also racing in the 200-meter — his better event — a race that won’t be as wide open as the 100. He’s the favorite, ahead of Tebogo, a notable exception to the rivalry, who won the men’s race last week at an international meet in Monaco.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>8.

Or are concerns about running out of battery power on a long drive keeping you from buying an EV?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charging infrastructure has improved over the last few years, and newer vehicles charge much faster than previous generations. But it still matters what you drive, where you’re driving and how much you plan in advance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Road trips can play a disproportionate role in the public conversation about EVs. The vast majority of EV charging happens at home, not at public fast chargers. Many EV-owning households also have a gas or hybrid vehicle they prefer for long trips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some EV owners shrug off range anxiety because they simply don’t go on many road trips. Ford CEO Jim Farley, in a recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/confessions-from-lifelong-petrol-head-i-love-electric-jim-farley-fc81e/\">love letter to EVs\u003c/a>, wrote that Ford’s research shows half of Americans go on 150-mile-plus drives “four days or fewer per year.” Owning a car that’s cheaper and easier 361 days of the year but a bit of a hassle on your yearly holiday drive might beat out having the dream road-trip machine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, being able to go on road trips is a priority for many people. Here are some tips on how to make a battery-powered long haul more relaxing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"edTag\">Before you decide:\u003c/h2>\n\u003col class=\"edTag\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Consider your vehicle. \u003c/strong>Aside from a few models (like older Nissan Leafs), most modern EVs can handle a long drive, but the experience will vary widely. Some EVs, like the Hyundai Ioniq 6 and Kia EV6, \u003ca href=\"https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/electric-car-charging.html\">can charge very quickly,\u003c/a> getting back on the road in less than 20 minutes. Others, like the affordable Chevy Bolt, charge slowly, taking an hour or more. Tesla’s routing software is excellent, and Tesla’s Supercharger network — now open to Fords and Rivians — is best in class. If you’re renting a car for a road trip, opt for a Tesla or at least a fast-charging option. If you’re taking your own car, get familiar with its capabilities.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Consider your destination.\u003c/strong> California has abundant chargers, while parts of Wyoming are nearly chargerless. Charger availability can vary widely, not just state by state or city by city but interstate by interstate, neighborhood by neighborhood. Look up your specific route before making a judgment call about whether you’ll do it on battery power.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003ch2 class=\"edTag\">Before you go:\u003c/h2>\n\u003col class=\"edTag\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Prep your car.\u003c/strong> Just like with a gas car, it’s a good idea to check your tire pressure before you hit the road — although there’s no need to check your oil, of course! And charge up. A lot of EV owners keep their cars at a maximum of 80% charge for day-to-day driving to \u003ca href=\"https://seas.umich.edu/news/tips-extending-lifetime-lithium-ion-batteries\">extend the life of the battery\u003c/a>. But road trips are when that full 100% charge comes in handy, and occasionally charging to 100% does not damage your battery. If you can, schedule the charge so you hit 100% shortly before you leave.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Check your route.\u003c/strong> Plug your destination into your car’s onboard navigation or an EV routing app like A Better Route Planner to see which chargers will be available along the way. On a road trip, you’ll be looking for DC fast chargers, not Level 2 chargers, preferably chargers that match or exceed your car’s max charging speed. Check reviews, too, and opt for chargers with higher reliability scores. And even if you don’t drive a Tesla, you may want to download the Tesla app just in case there’s a supercharger with Magic Dock (meaning any EV can use it) along your route.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Look for hotels with EV chargers\u003c/strong> (and decide if they’re worth it). Charging up overnight at hotels can be convenient, especially if you’re in a slower-charging car. But check reviews (like on the charger review app Plugshare) to ensure the hotel chargers are reliable. Check prices, too. Some hotel charges are free. Others might cost $30 or more to charge a mid-size battery — as much as a fast charger. And have a backup plan, especially if the hotel only has one plug, for another way to charge.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003ch2 class=\"edTag\">On your trip:\u003c/h2>\n\u003col class=\"edTag\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Pack intentionally.\u003c/strong> You should never overload any vehicle. But even if you’re within your EV’s weight limit, if you \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.acg.aaa.com/aaa-study-evs-lose-significant-range-when-hauling-heavy-cargo_20231016125847450/#\">load your vehicle down\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/how-is-ev-driving-range-impacted-by-towing\">pull a trailer\u003c/a>, you’ll reduce your range significantly. That may not be a problem if you’ve planned for it, but don’t get caught by surprise!\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Watch your speed. \u003c/strong>Of all the things that can reduce your range — temperature, wind, elevation — your speed is the easiest to control. Going faster will mean more charging stops.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Turn on the A/C. \u003c/strong>Yes, climate control affects your range — just like it affects fuel economy in a gas car. But A/C in the summer \u003ca href=\"https://www.recurrentauto.com/research/what-a-c-does-to-your-range\">isn’t nearly as big of a drain\u003c/a> as a heater in the winter, and a road trip is miserable without it. One thing that can help, in either cold or hot weather, is starting the climate control while your car is still charging. (On a winter road trip, you might also see a meaningful range boost if you rely more on heated seats and less on the heater.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Listen to your car.\u003c/strong> Because external factors can reduce your range — and because \u003ca href=\"https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a44754199/tesla-range-display-estimate-tested/\">some cars are less accurate than others\u003c/a> at identifying your probable range — you may need to stop and charge before you expect. If your vehicle sends warning signals that it can’t reach its destination without a charge, don’t ignore them.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Charge to 80%. \u003c/strong>At a fast charger, charging speeds reduce rapidly after a car hits 80%. You’ll save yourself a lot of time by unplugging and moving on once you hit that mark.

Or are concerns about running out of battery power on a long drive keeping you from buying an EV?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charging infrastructure has improved over the last few years, and newer vehicles charge much faster than previous generations. But it still matters what you drive, where you’re driving and how much you plan in advance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Road trips can play a disproportionate role in the public conversation about EVs. The vast majority of EV charging happens at home, not at public fast chargers. Many EV-owning households also have a gas or hybrid vehicle they prefer for long trips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some EV owners shrug off range anxiety because they simply don’t go on many road trips. Ford CEO Jim Farley, in a recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/confessions-from-lifelong-petrol-head-i-love-electric-jim-farley-fc81e/\">love letter to EVs\u003c/a>, wrote that Ford’s research shows half of Americans go on 150-mile-plus drives “four days or fewer per year.” Owning a car that’s cheaper and easier 361 days of the year but a bit of a hassle on your yearly holiday drive might beat out having the dream road-trip machine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, being able to go on road trips is a priority for many people. Here are some tips on how to make a battery-powered long haul more relaxing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"edTag\">Before you decide:\u003c/h2>\n\u003col class=\"edTag\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Consider your vehicle. \u003c/strong>Aside from a few models (like older Nissan Leafs), most modern EVs can handle a long drive, but the experience will vary widely. Some EVs, like the Hyundai Ioniq 6 and Kia EV6, \u003ca href=\"https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/electric-car-charging.html\">can charge very quickly,\u003c/a> getting back on the road in less than 20 minutes. Others, like the affordable Chevy Bolt, charge slowly, taking an hour or more. Tesla’s routing software is excellent, and Tesla’s Supercharger network — now open to Fords and Rivians — is best in class. If you’re renting a car for a road trip, opt for a Tesla or at least a fast-charging option. If you’re taking your own car, get familiar with its capabilities.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Consider your destination.\u003c/strong> California has abundant chargers, while parts of Wyoming are nearly chargerless. Charger availability can vary widely, not just state by state or city by city but interstate by interstate, neighborhood by neighborhood. Look up your specific route before making a judgment call about whether you’ll do it on battery power.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003ch2 class=\"edTag\">Before you go:\u003c/h2>\n\u003col class=\"edTag\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Prep your car.\u003c/strong> Just like with a gas car, it’s a good idea to check your tire pressure before you hit the road — although there’s no need to check your oil, of course! And charge up. A lot of EV owners keep their cars at a maximum of 80% charge for day-to-day driving to \u003ca href=\"https://seas.umich.edu/news/tips-extending-lifetime-lithium-ion-batteries\">extend the life of the battery\u003c/a>. But road trips are when that full 100% charge comes in handy, and occasionally charging to 100% does not damage your battery. If you can, schedule the charge so you hit 100% shortly before you leave.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Check your route.\u003c/strong> Plug your destination into your car’s onboard navigation or an EV routing app like A Better Route Planner to see which chargers will be available along the way. On a road trip, you’ll be looking for DC fast chargers, not Level 2 chargers, preferably chargers that match or exceed your car’s max charging speed. Check reviews, too, and opt for chargers with higher reliability scores. And even if you don’t drive a Tesla, you may want to download the Tesla app just in case there’s a supercharger with Magic Dock (meaning any EV can use it) along your route.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Look for hotels with EV chargers\u003c/strong> (and decide if they’re worth it). Charging up overnight at hotels can be convenient, especially if you’re in a slower-charging car. But check reviews (like on the charger review app Plugshare) to ensure the hotel chargers are reliable. Check prices, too. Some hotel charges are free. Others might cost $30 or more to charge a mid-size battery — as much as a fast charger. And have a backup plan, especially if the hotel only has one plug, for another way to charge.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003ch2 class=\"edTag\">On your trip:\u003c/h2>\n\u003col class=\"edTag\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Pack intentionally.\u003c/strong> You should never overload any vehicle. But even if you’re within your EV’s weight limit, if you \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.acg.aaa.com/aaa-study-evs-lose-significant-range-when-hauling-heavy-cargo_20231016125847450/#\">load your vehicle down\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/how-is-ev-driving-range-impacted-by-towing\">pull a trailer\u003c/a>, you’ll reduce your range significantly. That may not be a problem if you’ve planned for it, but don’t get caught by surprise!\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Watch your speed. \u003c/strong>Of all the things that can reduce your range — temperature, wind, elevation — your speed is the easiest to control. Going faster will mean more charging stops.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Turn on the A/C. \u003c/strong>Yes, climate control affects your range — just like it affects fuel economy in a gas car. But A/C in the summer \u003ca href=\"https://www.recurrentauto.com/research/what-a-c-does-to-your-range\">isn’t nearly as big of a drain\u003c/a> as a heater in the winter, and a road trip is miserable without it. One thing that can help, in either cold or hot weather, is starting the climate control while your car is still charging. (On a winter road trip, you might also see a meaningful range boost if you rely more on heated seats and less on the heater.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Listen to your car.\u003c/strong> Because external factors can reduce your range — and because \u003ca href=\"https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a44754199/tesla-range-display-estimate-tested/\">some cars are less accurate than others\u003c/a> at identifying your probable range — you may need to stop and charge before you expect. If your vehicle sends warning signals that it can’t reach its destination without a charge, don’t ignore them.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Charge to 80%. \u003c/strong>At a fast charger, charging speeds reduce rapidly after a car hits 80%. You’ll save yourself a lot of time by unplugging and moving on once you hit that mark. At slower chargers, like overnight charges at hotels, you can go ahead and charge to 100% if you’ll be using the car the next day.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Multitask.\u003c/strong> Meal stops. Bathroom visits. Snack resupply runs. Stretching interludes. Playground visits. Shopping. Whenever possible, use your charging stops as a chance to get \u003cem>out \u003c/em>of your car.
