The IntelliBoost RG600 by Rugged Geek is a compact lithium ion battery that you can use to jump start your car, inflate a flat tire, and have charge to spare to charge your phone or a laptop.

The device is covered in a durable tire-tread material, and it’s able to withstand extreme cold and heat. It comes in a case which is loaded with accessories, including mini jumper cables, an air compressor, a universal charging cable for iOS and Android devices, lots of different laptop ports, and a car charger. As an added bonus, the RG600 also boasts a super-bright LED flashlight and strobe.

A display on the face of the device can even tell you the percent charged, and operating the device is pretty outrageously simple. In fact, the jumper cables, when connected to the IntelliBoost, are basically idiot-proof. Somehow, they can detect when they are correctly connected, and if they’re not, the power will be cut and you’ll get an alarm.

BYD has officially launched the Da Han EV in China, and its headline figures are enough to make even some premium electric cars look a little less impressive. The new flagship sedan promises up to 626 miles (or 1,008 km) of range on China's CLTC testing cycle and can charge its battery from 10% to 97% in just nine minutes, provided it has access to compatible high-power charging infrastructure. Prices start at 235,900 yuan, or approximately $35,200, making it a relatively affordable proposition for a large luxury electric sedan.

Fiat’s new concept can turn into a pickup when you don’t want six seats
Fiat’s Multiplay concept has six seats, a pickup bed, and even a spot for the dog
Fiat Multplay Concept Featured

During the Paris Motor Show 2026, the new Citroën 2CV caught my eye with its charming design. But there's another concept that's doing something even wilder. The new Fiat Multiplay was just showcased at this auto show as a 4.45-meter concept combining elements of an MPV, SUV, and pickup. Its party piece is something Fiat calls the C-Pillar “Metamorfosi” architecture, which lets the rear section slide along dedicated guides.

In its normal family configuration, Multiplay carries six people plus one very unusual extra passenger space. Move the rear module, and it becomes a four-seat pickup with an open cargo bed for bikes, sporting equipment, and other bulky gear.
