The next Swedish EV won’t break the bank, and it has a tiny carbon footprint to boot.

For a while now, Volvo has been teasing a new, smaller electric car. And on Wednesday morning, the company finally unveiled its latest creation. It's called the EX30, and it ticks a pair of boxes many readers want: it's small and affordable.
The headline figure is the starting price. At $34,950 here in the US, it's one of the most affordable EVs available (before taking into account any tax credits)—joining the Chevrolet Bolt twins, Nissan Leaf, Mini Electric, and Hyundai Kona Electric in the sub-$35,000 club. And as we noted previously, Volvo says this car will have the lowest carbon footprint of any car it has sold, at below 30 metric tons after 124,274 miles (200,000 km).

And it's pretty compact, too. At 166.6 inches (4,232 mm) long, 72.3 inches (1,837 mm) wide, and 61.2 inches (1,555 mm) tall, it's a bit bigger than a Chevrolet Bolt but a bit smaller than a Chevrolet Bolt EUV. There's no baby-swallowing front fascia to be scared of, either—in keeping with Volvo's corporate ethos, this is a humane design.

Aziraphale: “I think I may have just started a war….”
Trailer for the second season of Good Omens.
We loved Prime Video's 2019 TV adaptation of Good Omens, the classic 1990 satirical fantasy novel by Neil Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett. Stars David Tennant and Michael Sheen were perfectly cast as a demon and angel joining forces to avert Armageddon. But is it possible to recapture that magic in a second season, especially when it was originally meant to be a six-part limited series? The official trailer just released, and we're hopeful that the answer might just be yes.
(Spoilers for S1 below.)
As I've written previously, Good Omens is the story of an angel, Aziraphale (Sheen), and a demon, Crowley (Tennant), who gradually become friends over the millennia and team up against the forces of both Heaven and Hell to save Earth from destruction. They've come to be rather fond of the Earth and all its humans with their many foibles, you see—not to mention the perks that come with our big blue orb, like sleek electronics and quaint little restaurants where they know you. The supernatural pair doesn't really want the Antichrist—an 11-year-old boy named Adam (Sam Taylor Buck) who has grown up unaware of his pivotal role in the coming apocalypse—to bring an end to all of that.

Wildfire smoke conditions worsened across much of Northeast US on Wednesday.

2:45 pm ET Update: Air quality along the Atlantic Coast of the United States, and particularly in New York City, worsened substantially on Wednesday due to smoke from Canadian wildfires being transported south by atmospheric currents.
Webcams and images of the New York region showed the city essentially disappearing behind a wall of smoke and haze, with orange skies. The air was so choked with wildfire particulates on Wednesday afternoon that the city turned on its streetlights at 2 pm ET, at a time when the Sun is almost directly overhead.
As of 2:44 pm ET, the IQ Air website measured New York's Air Quality Index at 342, far above the threshold of 301 denoting "hazardous" air quality. The large city with the next-worst air in the world, Delhi, India, had a rating of 168 at the time. Flights were delayed into, and out of, La Guardia and Newark airports on Wednesday afternoon due to the prevalence of smoke and haze reducing visibilities.
