For the first time ever, buying an electric or hybrid car from most of the big automakers is a viable option. But these electrified vehicles are still a small part of the entire automotive world. At the Frankfurt auto show in Germany, many car companies either finally pledged or reiterated earlier promises to increase the number of electrified cars to their lineups by 2030.

For decades, auto shows were filled with concept-car unveilings complete with loud music, extravagant light shows and company executives (or paid celebrities) extolling the virtues of cars that would never make it to production. Usually the cars had huge growling gas engines that drowned whatever guitar wail or pop song a committee deemed most appropriate for the vehicle. This year the thunder of cylinders was replaced with the quiet drivetrains of EVs and hybrids as the industry pulled back the curtain on the biggest change to cars since the introduction of the automatic transmission.

Judging by the pledges made by automakers ahead of, and during, the Frankfurt auto show, by the end of the 2020s, it’ll be tough to find a car that doesn’t have some serious batteries in it. Mercedes says it’ll have an electrified version of all its models by 2022. Its entire Smart subdivision will be entirely electric by 2020. Honda wants two thirds of its sales to be electrified in some way by the end of 2030, while Audi, Jaguar, Volvo and Volkswagen will all have a substantial proportion of their vehicles powered by electrons during the next decade. All of this is good news for drivers.

To help achieve their goals, automakers are already on the verge of unleashing new EVs. Honda’s Urban EV Concept is expected in Europe in 2019. The Jaguar i-Pace will be available in the United States in 2018 to challenge Tesla’s Model X as the dominant electric SUV.

Meanwhile, Volkswagen has been pushing its electric modular battery, MEB platform via the upcoming releases of its ID vehicles. The Buzz microbus is slated to be available in 2022 for fans of buses and nostalgia. The ID hatchback and Crozz crossover are slated to land in 2020.

A car is an investment. It’s something that’ll be around for years, and eventually, the oil under our feet will dry up. It might not happen for decades but there’s no reason to expedite the process by continuing to power all our vehicles with gasoline. Plus, when it does happen, the last thing you’re going to want is a car that runs on something that’s incredibly scarce. Automakers are aware of this — plus it helps that regulation can be a big motivator.

Both the UK and France plan to ban the sale fossil-fueled cars by 2040. Meanwhile China — a huge market for automakers — is considering its own ban on the sale of gas-powered cars. Automakers need to stay ahead of these trends in order to compete.

As for drivers, even if you don’t care about the environment (and seriously, who doesn’t care about the environment? It’s where we live) the first time you feel the torque of an electric car, you’re going to be hooked. It’s also the opportunity to fundamentally change our relationship to the car and how we consume energy.

More and more automakers — like Tesla and Honda — are talking about the ability to sell electricity back to grid from their vehicles. For example: If you car’s battery is already full, but the grid is in need to more power than it’s currently generating, your car (along with others) can sell some back. If your car can earn you a bit of cash while in the garage, that’s a plus. Also, as solar and battery technologies advance, there’ll be opportunities to power not only your home but also your main source of transportation for less than you’re paying today.

This will all most likely start for most of us in the 2020s. As customers, we’ll have more car choices, which is always a good thing. Electric cars are going mainstream whether you like it or not, and if you’re looking forward to eventually having a car that’s silent, maybe saves you a few bucks and is actually fun to drive, start saving now because your next car might plug into your home instead of tapping into a gas pump.

But now’s the time to see just how well that’s working out for them as they keep things “Hella Open.”

Issa

As promised (and kind of needed), Issa is moving on, giving the whole dating thing another try — an awkward, been-out-of-the-game-for-a-minute try. Whether it’s being tickled by the touch of new, “weird” (read: “not Lawrence’s”) fingers, her uncoordinated “sex walk,” or leaning way too hard into (and failing at) the compliment approach of flirting, Issa is definitely trying to get this single, “ho phase” of her life on track. It’s just apparently not as easy as Lawrence has made it look — and even he makes a mess of it all. After a very upsetting search for batteries, it’s clear Issa can’t just let handheld technology do all the work for her sexual frustrations.

We Got Y’all is still seeing great growth at the high school, but the problem — as Frieda points out and Issa wants to keep playing ignorant on — is that the only kids who are joining the program are black kids, despite the fact the school is 86% Latino. But Vice Principal Gaines is also singing Issa and Frieda’s (but probably mostly Issa’s) praises to Joanne. This really, really isn’t going to end well, is it?

The personal tide changes for Issa as she’s painting over her party fire-ruined wall (and don’t think we didn’t notice that “paint fumes” fainting, Issa) and decides to be proactive in quenching her thirst for Eddie, a neighbor she keeps seeing around the complex. He’s young, obsessed with Gossip Girl (as we all were at one point), and he’s down to go along with Issa’s “extra charger” excuse as her reason behind showing up at his place. There’s more awkwardness — and this is after Eddie had already waxed poetic about Blake Lively’s work in Gossip Girl and how you didn’t need to see season five to understand season six — in that sexual encounter, but once they get past the politeness and uncomfortable positions, it all ends well. Issa might just be getting the hang of this single life. Thanks again, Gossip Girl.

Issa’s “Hella Open” Status: Officially open for business

Molly

While Issa spends a good deal of her time getting back on the saddle making a fool of herself, Molly does things in a way that are so effortlessly Molly that you almost forget why Molly’s life isn’t perfectly together. Then she Mollys it up, and you remember. In this case, things are going as well as possible work-wise; she seems to be making the double workload work, though she does sometimes take her other frustrations out on oblivious Travis. However, there are little personal things, like the fact that she has no one to help her carry a bookshelf from CB2 (and thirsty Issa isn’t exactly the key to helping her assemble it as well) or putting “pause” on her therapy because she thinks Dr. Pine is projecting her own black woman stuff on her. (She’s not, but that’s a breakthrough for another episode.)

Enter Sterling K. Brown as Lionel, a man Molly meets as a result of Issa poorly flirting with his wingman. He’s got a good job, he’s got a good relationship with his family, he’s easy for Molly to talk to, and, well, he’s got the looks and charms of Sterling K. Brown. Lionel and Molly hit things off perfectly, to the point where he’s talking about “hypotheticals” about fastforwarding through the awkward first date stuff and straight to love and marriage. Every woman watching the episode is ready for him to propose right then and there, but Insecure exists in a magical world where Sterling K. Brown can just roll up as a character’s (and audience’s) dream man and then get ghosted for being too perfect. In fact, Molly and Issa realize he’s basically the male Molly — though he looks like he has it a lot more put together than her. In fact, the only thing Molly has put together by the end of this episode is her bookshelf, courtesy of two white assemblers.

Molly’s “Hella Open” Status: Open enough to turn down Sterling K. Brown and SZA tickets

Lawrence

The signs were all there. Sure, Lawrence was looking good, really good, but the man couldn’t tell things to Issa or Tasha straight, and so many of his decisions were based in his lack of desire to just rip off the Band-Aid and be a damn grown-up. It would have been a mess if he got away with that kind of behavior all season — especially for Tasha, just so you know — but thankfully, this episode has him called out for it.

Yes, this is a Team Tasha Zone right here, and after the season’s first two episodes found Tasha falling for Lawrence and his less than ideal qualities, “Hella Open” finally has her read Lawrence for the… trifling man he is. (She calls him something else, and while it’s hella appropriate, it’s not exactly PG.) It starts with something as simple as Lawrence trying to initiate sex while Tasha is clearly trying to have a chill night of TV (it’s TGIT, after all) as though he learned nothing from his conversations with the woman after he told her he had sex with Issa. Lawrence can’t pretend he doesn’t know Tasha wants at least something more than just a hookup, but he still does, even when he brings chairs for her family’s huge barbecue.

Of course, Lawrence chooses that as the time to hang with his co-workers at a mixer notorious for sloppy tech startup hookups, ditching Tasha and the barbecue early on for “a work thing” and avoiding actually telling her the truth until the last possible minute. You know the phrase “fake it ‘til you make it?” Lawrence couldn’t even fake a day of being into Tasha like that before he decided to drop her, and as she calls him post-barbecue and he gives ther the whole “I’m just not looking to get into anything serious” bit, Tasha drops a little knowledge on him – specifically how he “ghosted” her while she was with her family, and while she knew they were never serious, he still “fronted” like he was. He really shouldn’t have apologized about Issa, or even told her about it, if he wasn’t planning to keep things moving forward. So she tells him how trifling he is, with the point that it’s even worse because he “thinks he’s a good guy.” She’s not wrong, but Lawrence probably isn’t going to think about that as he immediately moves on.

Lawrence’s “Hella Open” Status: Open to white girls

Keeping things “Hella Open” proves to be just as messy as a lot of other things in season two, and while Issa may finally be getting on track, things can just as easily derail. That fainting spell could have been paint fumes, but considering she and Lawrence didn’t use a condom on their quickie hookup in the premiere, you know it could be something else. And if so, pray that Lawrence finds a way to grow up between now and that revelation. Sure, Molly could help Issa raise this hypothetical baby, but considering their failed attempt at assembling a bookcase, it could be a struggle.

So to celebrate season 2, we took a look back at Season 1, and are now recapping the highly anticipated new episodes. Don’t miss the return of Insecure on Sunday, July 23 at 10:30pm, only on HBO.

While last week’s premiere certainly made good on Insecure’s promise that the second season would be “hella out there,” it left a number of things up in the air. What did Issa and Lawrence’s hook-up mean? How is Molly going to get what she deserves at work? Will Regina Hall’s slave character in the show-within-the-show Due North finally get permission to read? That is where “Hella Questions” comes in, with some answers to said questions.

Issa

Right as the episode opens, Molly immediately hits Issa with the Q&A. What did sex with Lawrence mean? Was it his way of saying goodbye forever or was it the re-opening of the doorway to their love? Now, Molly doesn’t say anything as corny as “the doorway of their love,” but the sentiment remains. The thing is, Issa’s just as in the dark as us — she has no idea what it means and she was only one-half of the equation.

And then she learns about the Tasha of it all, turning this into an Issa versus the urge to cyberstalk a girl thing. Ultimately, Issa gives into the Crazy Ex Girlfriend-adjacent moment, and it becomes a full-blown situation, to the point of Issa’s cyberstalking (she ends up on Linkedin!) sending her to Tasha’s job at the bank. The bank right next to Best Buy — so Issa obviously puts two and two together on the how Lawrence met Tasha front. There’s a lot of Issa fantasizing about taking Tasha down physically and verbally calling her out (“Call me Lifetime, ‘cause I’m bringing the drama”), but that remains in the realm of fantasy, and Issa only gets the closure she needs when she has Molly “accidentally” run into Lawrence.

Via the harsh closure, Issa learns what Lawrence just can’t say to her face: It’s over. But Issa’s single, hook-up lifestyle is just beginning! Emotionally, it’s time to take up the closet space and put the pillow in the center of the bed; but physically, Issa puts the Tinder world on notice that she’s DTF. It’s a lot more poignant than it sounds.

On top of all this, Issa finds herself at a crossroads with her current We Got Y’all assignment, as the high school’s vice principal, Mr. Gaines, turns what could be an inspirational “help me, help you” situation, into a platform for his… less progressive beliefs. The man has no problem making racial jokes to Issa (and Frieda) about building a wall to stop the overpopulation of his predominantly Hispanic school or visibly yelling at students to speak English on campus. Issa just wants to keep it moving, because they’re seeing results, but it’s kind of hard when Gaines is bringing up an “us vs. them” mentality, calling students “taco meat.”

Issa’s “Hella Questions” Status: Asked and answered (personally, at least)

Molly

As promised, Molly’s going to make sure she gets what she’s owed at work, and that apparently involves taking steps to get into the firm’s “boys club.” Obviously, given Molly’s gender, that’s easier said than done — but where most see an insurmountable challenge, Molly sees a game of chess where she’s already two steps ahead. She gets intel about a hockey game her boss, Mr. Merrill, will be attending. She charms her other male co-workers when she’s there, and even gets on Merrill’s good side at the game, all without any actual hockey knowledge. She plays the game perfectly.

But back at the workplace, it turns out that what Molly saw as an opening — and a successful one, at that — was simply just a forgettable encounter to Merrill. A guest pass to the boys club, if you will.

All of this is in the aftermath of Dr. Pine bringing up the important point about Molly’s way of looking at things in her professional life: She always talks about the way things “should” be happening. She has these plans for her life, but she never considers how she’ll deal with the idea of life not turning out the way she plans. Dr. Pine suggests she think about that — but instead, Molly takes the L with Merrill and moves on to her plan B, a contingency plan that will probably end up hella messy — splitting time working for both the LA branch of her firm and the Chicago branch, where her female boss now works.

Molly’s “Hella Questions” Status: On to the next

Lawrence

Lawrence starts the episode off with points for wanting to tell Issa that he didn’t go to her planning to hook-up, but those points go to the negative side as the episode progresses. First — after Insecure hits us with an intense thirst trap in the form of Lawrence working out — he starts to text Issa an explanation about That Night, confirming that there was no malicious intent on his part. The problem is, he deletes the text he’s typing and sends nothing at all. He officially keeps the confusion going for Issa, despite having a pretty solid, albeit confused, explanation.

He tells Tasha that he had sex with Issa, and that he can’t really offer much more to her about the situation beyond “I don’t know.” You might be thinking, Lawrence deserves points for coming clean with Tasha, and ultimately saying he’s done with Issa. But remember: Lawrence doesn’t even tell Issa he’s done with her. He told Issa’s best friend things were over, and he probably wouldn’t have said anything at all had Molly not been around doing reconnaissance.

But hey, at least he finally gets a new apartment.

Lawrence’s “Hella Questions” Status: Can’t answer ‘em for himself

“Hella Questions” answers a pretty big question about Issa and Lawrence’s life after the break-up: And the answer is, two can play that game. Nothing is truly resolved for either yet, but they’re both continuing the “moving on” dance. And in terms of who’s winning the break-up so far, Lawrence might have Tasha, but Issa at least has her maturity. That maturity is displayed, simply, in not going into Tasha’s bank and confronting her (even though, admittedly, she did drive all the way there). But when you consider Lawrence’s absolute refusal to talk to Issa about things, maturity is hell.

So to celebrate season 2, we took a look back at Season 1, and are now recapping the highly anticipated new episodes. Don’t miss the return of Insecure on Sunday, July 23 at 10:30pm, only on HBO.

Where were we? Oh yes — at the end of the first season, Issa and Lawrence’s relationship went up in flames, while Molly decided that maybe she should get professional help for her personal issues. Only a couple of months have passed since then, and as this season promises to be “Hella Out There,” let’s see just how much (or how little) things have changed for each character.

Issa

As the episode title suggests, Issa is (pretending) she’s “Hella Great.” She’s back in the dating pool, she’s got a new school placement at We Got Y’all, and she’s ready to move forward. Well, that’s what she wants everyone to think; truth is, Issa is absolutely floundering after her breakup with Lawrence. Sure, she’s getting out there, rocking the apps and going on plenty of dates, but those dates are just outlets for her to fantasize about being on them with Lawrence – and subconsciously make up raps about why she’s single, and how she’s a liar and hella messy.

How messy? Hopefully the imagery of Issa’s low-key wine party ending with a garbage fire (“Women and children!”) is lost on no one.

As for the new work placement, Issa and Frieda have the uphill battle of working with teenagers… at a high school where the predominant language is Spanish, some teachers don’t even speak English, and most teachers are teaching the wrong class. Work should be an outlet for Issa to focus on something other than Lawrence, but instead, it’s now a projection landmine. “But isn’t it our job to make to make things work, even when it’s difficult,” she asks Joanne, a question she probably should have asked herself before she cheated. Or maybe even now, as she obsesses over how to coexist with him. Then, after a particularly rough day at the high school — involving stolen Habanero Oreos — Issa tells Frieda, “sometimes you just have to know when to give up.”

It’s good advice Issa should take to heart, but it’s immediately ruined by Lawrence showing up at the apartment that night, finally coming to get his mail and the stuff he left behind. It’s simple (yet awkward) enough, until the innocent meeting ends in a quickie between the two and then the musical stylings of Jazmine Sullivan. Kind of hard to give up after that, now isn’t it?

Issa’s “Hella Great” Status: Nonexistent

Molly

Molly’s actively trying to fix her situation, though that’s not exactly easy for her either. The good news is that she’s in therapy, but not particularly “good” at therapy. When she opens up, it’s about work, and even then, all of her answers for her therapist, Dr. Pine, are: “Fine.”

She may not be getting far in therapy — yet — but that doesn’t mean Molly’s not trying to deal with her… stuff. But it’s not as though she’s afraid to vent, as she reminds us (and Issa and every friend she has) once she learns that Travis, a white male colleague who’s been at the law firm as long as she has, is making much more money than her. Molly talks about refusing to play the “work twice as hard to get half as far” game of life, but in her case, there’s a lot more talk than action so far.

Molly’s “Hella Great” Status: A work in progress

Lawrence

Things should be all good for Lawrence. He’s gotten away from Issa, is still hooking up with Tasha, and generally has a reason to move forward with his life. At the same time, he’s avoiding getting his own mail from Issa, living in Chad’s living room (on an air mattress) and not exactly committing to anything or anyone. Even Chad calls Lawrence out for the way he’s treating Tasha — he doesn’t even take her out — and while Lawrence tries to play the “both having fun” card, the signs are already there that Tasha isn’t exactly content on just being a weekend hookup.

The least sad thing about Lawrence’s current bachelor situation is that it allows us to be introduced to a melodramatic slave show starring Regina Hall.

There’s a lot of talk from Lawrence too, specifically when it comes to finding a new place and moving on, if he even truly plans to do so. He does eventually take Tasha out on a real date, and he tells her that all of this is a matter of hating moving and finding the time to do things. (“Time” was Lawrence’s excuse for only hanging out with Tasha on the weekend, too. We have yet to see this busy schedule of his.) That just barely explains his line of thinking when he initiates sex with Issa on their living room couch though. Presumably, on Lawrence’s end, it’s breakup sex, but the kiss on the cheek says otherwise.

Lawrence’s “Hella Great” Status: Hella confused

While things might not be “Hella Great” for the characters, Insecure’s second season premiere feels like reconnecting with an old friend, picking up right back where you left off, and immediately judging said friend for their poor life choices. Still, you can’t help laughing with that friend, because they simply haven’t lost their sense of humor; and the way this premiere sets things up, this season is going to need that. Issa and Lawrence are now in an even more confusing place, and the stress of the mere thought of Molly bringing up the pay disparity at work is already too much to bear. Somewhere in between all that confusion and stress are (possible) gangbangers doing choreographed house party routines and unexpected quotes from Ice Cube’s “You Can Do It,” moments that just make that Emmy snub sting even more. But so far, it looks like this season is going to be “Hella Great.”
