Between birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays, it’s easy to run out of gift ideas. Don’t throw your hands in the air just yet—consider a subscription box. There are boxes for nearly every interest, and your giftee gets to try a bunch of stuff that would be far too expensive for you to compile yourself. You can buy them one month, but we think three months makes the perfect gift, because they’ll get that warm giddy feeling again and again.I’m also a firm believer that you need to gift yourself every so often.

So to help sort out the confusion, I gathered 14 different chargers from a range of brands and tested…
In early March, strong winds brought down trees and power lines in the Nashville area, leaving thousands of homes without power. But about 20 miles outside the city an electric pickup truck fed energy to John and Rachelle Reigard’s home, keeping their lights on.“You can look at all the houses around us, and they’re all off,” said Mr. Reigard, who bought the pickup, a Ford F-150 Lightning, more than a year ago. “A lot of people ask the question: ‘How do you have power?’”The Reigards are part of a small group of pioneers using the batteries in their electric vehicles…
