Jaza Energy Hubs, created by the Nigerian‑based studio Nonfiction Design, have quickly become a model of clean, affordable energy for off‑grid villages. The project showcases a modular solar hub that can be shipped flat, unpacked and assembled in a single day with only basic tools. Each hub generates enough electricity to run lights, phones, fans and small shop equipment, replacing costly and polluting diesel generators and kerosene lamps.

On its face, the Nio ES8 may not look super different from its current generation. Yet, there are a lot of under-the-skin improvements to the model. Overall, the ES8 is about 7 inches longer than the old model, with 2.49 inches of that going to the wheelbase. Aside from the excess length, the ES8 now has a frunk, whereas the old one did not.
