🚗 EV Sales Set to Triple by 2025 //
According to BloombergNEF, electric vehicle sales are poised to more than triple by 2025. This forecast differs from the one the research firm made a year ago due to the massive EV sales in China. Passenger vehicle sales will soar to 20.6 million in 2025, much higher than the 14 million forecast a year ago.
However this number pales in comparison to 1,2 billion internal combustion passenger vehicles currently being used all over the world. The firm predicts that by 2050 two thirds of them will be replaced by zero-emission cars.

📩 Musk’s Ultimatum //
Elon Musk sent an email to Tesla employees stating that anyone who wants to work from home can do so, but as long as they are in the office 40 hours a week. Otherwise, they will be fired.
The businessman announced that the Tesla office should be the main place to work and not a remote branch for those whose duties are not related to it. For example, if an employee is responsible for HR at a factory, they should be working there, not doing business while in another state.

🌅 NFTs Help Get Out of Prison //
The Children of Women Prisoners Association (CFPA), an Egyptian organisation that helps women and promotes legal reform, has agreed to partner with creative collective Horizon FCB Dubai to raise funding as well as awareness outside the country about the plight of women through NFT.
There are thousands of cases in Egypt where poor debtors, called gharemat, are unable to meet their obligations for whatever reason. And as a result, they end up behind bars. The amounts can usually be small, but the law provides for a prison sentence of up to three years.
The Emirati collective is asking international artists to create NFTs to sell them for the amount it will cost to pay off the women's debts and release them from prison. However, the main aim of this project is to raise awareness outside Egypt.
