*Th**e Evening Rush is your daily roundup of auto, gear, and lifestyle news, all in one place. Less time searching, more time driving. Motor on.*

**Automotive**

BMW plans to launch a carsharing service in the US. The program, called [ReachNow](<https://www.wsj.com/articles/bmw-to-launch-car-sharing-service-in-u-s-1460131271>), will start in Seattle with plans to eventually spread to major cities across the country. Drivers will pay 49 cents a minute to operate the sleek Bimmers.

Very impressive news for Ford: the [Mustang outsold the Audi TT and the Porsche 911](<https://www.autoblog.com/2016/04/08/ford-mustang-germany-audi-porsche-sales-news/>) in Germany last month. The Mustang outsold the TT by 72 units and the 911 by 28 units: Ah, the power of V8.

Spy shots of the [2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio](<https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1098943_2018-alfa-romeo-stelvio-spy-shots#image=100551580>) have surfaced. Although the compact crossover SUV is pretty heavily camouflaged, the beefed-up suspension is clearly visible. The base Stelvio will use a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder, with a 2.9L twin-turbocharged V6 likely to slot into a Quadrifoglio high-performance model.

**Gear**

Battery chargers for your cellphone can be super helpful, but are often very bulky. Fortunately, [Thino](<https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/thino-charge-your-device-faster-safer-easier#/>) has invented a USB-sized charger that can rapidly charge your phone for an two extra hours of life.

A bike is a great way to get around on a budget. However, bike thefts keep many from riding peacefully. [Vanmoof’s Electrified S](<https://gearjunkie.com/vanmoof-electrified-s-bike-unlock-via-touch-bluetooth>) has touchscreen locking mechanism with a fingerprint scanner. That way, the only person riding away with your bike will be you.

**Lifestyle**

Today’s beer pick takes us to [Odell Brewing Company](<https://www.odellbrewing.com/>) in Fort Collins, Colorado. With the title of 34th largest craft brewery in the US, Odell is big, but committing to quality. Their brews tend towards hearty and hoppy: we love Prop Culture, a farmhouse ale.

Costa sunwear is great at keeping eyes safe 'n' cool. With 100% UV protection and polarized 580 polycarbonate lenses, the Playa [Polarized Sunglasses](<https://www.diffeyewear.com/collections/polarized-sunglasses>) can block even the most aggressive sun. Head on over to [Steep And Cheap](<https://www.steepandcheap.com/gear-cache/our-best-accessories-on-sale/CDM006R-HOTRGYS580P>) pick up a pair for 34% off.
