ICCU Flaws Put Hyundai, Kia, Genesis EVs at Risk of Power Loss, CR Finds

Consumer Reports warns that Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis electric vehicles can experience ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) failures that compromise the 12-volt system and cause power loss or inoperable features, even with adequate main-battery charge. CR surveyed about 380,000 owners; ICCU-related issues affected roughly 2–10% of Hyundai/Kia EV owners, far higher than typical charging problems. The fault stems from a transistor in the ICCU failing due to overvoltage at the start or end of charging. Repairs vary from software updates to replacing the ICCU and fuse plus a coolant flush, with some costs reimbursed. Hyundai says parts are shipping and some expenses will be reimbursed; Kia has parts in stock; Genesis did not comment. The Ioniq 5 performed relatively well in CR’s testing, but ICCU reliability drags overall scores and recalls have occurred in the past.

"Bitcoin Analyst Predicts 10x Price Post-Halving: What Makes This Time Different?"

Genesis, a struggling crypto-lending company, sold off 36 million shares of GBTC to acquire 32,041 BTC, valued at $2.1 billion, in a bid to address financial challenges and potential bankruptcy. This move was likely prompted by the desire to capitalize on the recent surge in Bitcoin prices and to settle debts with creditors. As Bitcoin's fourth halving approaches, whales are accumulating BTC, hinting at a bullish outlook. Analysts, including Anthony Scaramucci, anticipate a significant upside for Bitcoin post-halving, with a potential surge of six to ten times, although not immediately.

"ESA Contracts Thales Alenia Space for Radar Instrument Development on Earth Explorer Harmony Satellites"

The European Space Agency has awarded contracts worth 233.4 million euros for its FutureNAV program, including missions called Genesis and LEO-PNT. Genesis, led by OHB Italia, aims to improve the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) with a suite of instruments, while LEO-PNT, led by GMV Aerospace and Defence and Thales Alenia Space, will test the feasibility of a low Earth orbit satellite constellation to enhance positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services. These missions are part of ESA's efforts to meet the growing demand for more resilient and precise navigation systems.

"ESA's Precision Navigation Missions: Advancing Earth Measurement and Satellite Technology"

The European Space Agency is investing €76.6 million in the development of Genesis, a flying observatory that will provide positioning services accurate to a single millimeter by co-locating various Earth-measuring techniques on board. This will contribute to the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) and benefit fields such as aviation, traffic management, climate change monitoring, and more. Additionally, the agency has allocated separate funds for the Low Earth Orbit Positioning Navigation and Timing demonstrator (LEO-PNT) to improve positional accuracy and test new signals and frequency bands for satnav systems. Both Genesis and LEO-PNT are part of the FutureNAV program and are expected to launch by 2028.

Gemini Exchange to Return $1.1 Billion to Customers in Regulatory Settlement

Gemini, founded by the Winklevoss twins, has agreed to return at least $1.1 billion to customers of its failed "Earn" lending program and pay a $37 million fine for compliance failures as part of a settlement with regulators. The program promised up to 8% interest on crypto deposits but collapsed when its lending partner, Genesis, faced financial troubles. The New York State Department of Financial Services found that Gemini failed to vet Genesis and engaged in unsafe practices, leading to over 200,000 customers being unable to access their funds. Gemini also faces lawsuits and regulatory scrutiny over the program's collapse.
