Nothing like charging a rental EV to spark a deep hatred of the app ecosystem we live in.
- First download the car rental app which also unlocks the car.
- Then download the car charger app for your origin area
- Drive to destination, stopping for a charge on the way. Charger at gas station is a new app. Download and make new account
- Get to destination. Different charger, so new app with new account. Have now given my credit card number to three new companies as none of these apps take apple pay.
- Destination charger is much slower than gas station charger. Will need to allocate 4 hours to charge the car.
Like I accept longer charging times with an EV, but surely someone must understand for people to feel comfortable with this as a transportation system, the user experience can’t suck this hard.

This old promotional film reminds us that cities in the global North abandoned – on purpose – proven electric solutions for car dependence. A policy choice, not an inevitability.

"In #California, which historically has accounted for about one-third of U.S. #EV sales, #Tesla registrations slumped 15% year-over-year. Non-Tesla zero-emission vehicle registrations rose 35%, according to California's New Car Dealers Association (CNCDA)."

Das ist Tamara Ivancova: schon als Kind als Automechanikerin gejobbt, mit 15(!) Ingenieurin bei der Formel 1 und jetzt als junge Frau umweltbewusste Unternehmerin, die effiziente Boote und #Velomobil'e designt, konstruiert und bald auch auf den Markt bringt – aus RECYCELTEN(!) Carbonfasern.
A "too good to be true" EV leasing model for Kenyan taxi drivers? Drivers bear all the risk. Tech solutions should empower, not extract.

this goes along nicely with the global WOMP WOMP we already know about.

One week with the ID.7 GTX Tourer - smooth, spacious and seriously well thought out.
A solid step up from the ID.4 GTX: better driving feel, faster charging, more room and an even better head-up display.
It’s long… sometimes too long for city parking. But worth it.

There Has Never Been a Better Time for #EV Battery Swapping https://heatmap.news/electric-vehicles/ev-battery-swapping
If you're an Aussie #EV owner this might slightly & briefly reduce running costs.
#Evie has a discount at *some* charging stations from tomorrow till 30 April.

Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with Evie, & have never used their chargers, although I do have their RFID card. None of the stations are located near where I'll be during the offer. 
Hate to admit it, but I'm slightly regretting buying an #EV. Mostly because I can't yet charge at home. The battery runs down too quickly and I spend too much time thinking about how to charge it back up.
There are pluses tho. I love how responsive it is - faster than anything I've ever driven. And being a virtue-signalling leftie I love having that green band on my licence plate¹

¹ Only EVs are allowed them in the UK
Call me weird but I'll only get an #EV if I can charge it as fast as I can gas up my Corsa D 1.0 3-door and pay for it in cash (or #Monero if I can get Monero for cash w/o #KYC!) and not have all the "#eCall" #tracking bs in it!
- TBH, I think with the #Enshittification of #Cars, companies deserve to die out because noone but #rich #Boomers wants a big & ugly #SuperUselessVehicle (IDGAF if it's a "#Crossover" or #SUV, it's just a shitty and phat car!) that noone can buy or even finance (and even if they can - hello #SubprimeCarLoanCrash on the horizon - shouldn't)!
“As extreme tariffs become a central pillar of US economic strategy, a clear pattern is emerging: US companies are increasingly caught in regulatory complexity and strategic fallout, while their foreign rivals advance through the gaps created by that very strategy.” #Tesla #BYD #EV #Musk #Trump #tariff #chaos

Switzerland is one of the most advanced in Europe with bidirectional #EV charging. They have a regulatory framework in place for mobile storage, companies in this space (hardware, services, energy). Bern canton has a CHF 3,000 subsidy. The only thing to wait for is the availability of CCS #V2G wallboxes.

Timely news: as of yesterday, charging networks in the EU have to report this data, free of charge, for anyone to use.

On the EU data sharing requirement for public #EV charging points and how it can help improve the charging experience, and how operators can benefit from increased traffic and better network planning:
