The Hidden Benefits Of Owning An Electric Vehicle By BPT Jul 23, 2025 Electric Vehicles (EVs) Provide Significant Environmental And Health Advantages Compared To Gas And Diesel-Powered Cars. They Reduce Emissions, Improve Air Quality, And Offer Luxury Features, Like Quieter Operation And Lower Costs. EV interiors are consistently preferred. For example, those in Kia's EV9, EV6 and Niro EV are clean and minimalist. Gone are the overly complicated dashboards and excessive door designs. These serene interiors aim to create a calming sanctuary for drivers and passengers, free from distractions. Many drivers are concerned that charging EVs takes longer than refueling gas vehicles. While charging may require more time than a quick fill-up, it's not time wasted. Drivers can use this time to organize their day, listen to a podcast, read, or chat with friends. EVs also provide the luxury of time. After a long day, most drivers want to get home. With an EV, drivers can charge at home, eliminating extra stops and waiting for a pump during rush hour.

More than five weeks after the killing, no arrests have been made. Investigators continue to seek leads from the public, noting that more than 200 people were present in the park at the time of the shooting. Ahead of the press conference, Crime Stoppers announced an increased reward of $10,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. At the gathering, the Itzkowitz family announced they will match that reward, bringing the total to $20,000. Speakers included State Senator John Liu, Assemblymember Nily Rozic, Assemblymember David Weprin, Council Member Sandra Ung, community leaders and members of the Itzkowitz family.

He was visibly Jewish, he was alone and he was killed in a public space where he should have been safe,” said Itzkowitz’s daughter, Leah Lifshitz. “In a city where antisemitic incidents are rising, we cannot ignore the context of what happened here. Whether or not it is ultimately confirmed, this is a question that must be fully and seriously investigated from every angle. My father deserved safety, and our community deserves honesty and urgency.” “We are grateful to Assemblymember Nily Rozic for hosting today’s press conference, and to State Senator John Liu, Assemblymember David Weprin and Council Member Sandra Ung for standing with our family and this community,” said Tzvi Yonie Itzkowitz, Itzkowitz's youngest son. “We are also thankful to the NYPD, the Queens District Attorney’s Office and Crime Stoppers for their continued work. Crime Stoppers has increased its reward to $10,000, and our family is matching that amount, bringing the total reward to $20,000. We are asking anyone who was in Kissena Park on May 18th. if you saw something, no matter how small it may seem, please come forward.” Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers at: 1 (800) 577-TIPS.
