My dad got his first plug-in hybrid last week, and I tried to explain the charging situation to him. At home is easy, but on the street is not. I tried to explain the street situation - and the more I tried, the more I realised the system is stupid, confusing, and a factor that slows down adoption of EVs. ‘What will it cost? Is there a sticker on the street charger?’ - ‘no normally not, dad’. ‘Or maybe there is a standard price for different brands? We have ‘allego’ near the supermarket!’ - ‘I’m afraid no. That price can also depend on what card you’re using at the allego charger.’ I didn’t dare to tell him that might also be municipality dependent… I remember 6 years ago everything was even worse. I juggled 3 cards, including a German one that was the very cheapest one for Netherlands for a while. Prices would be different based on everything, and compatibility (your card even working with a random charger) was not a given. We’ve come a long way! But then I also realised that I’ve been in the system for so long, that you’re starting to treat it like some crazy uncle - It will never change, let’s just accept it. But I won’t, and we shouldn’t. 95% of the electric driving experience is superior. The last 5%? It’s charging prices and trying to explain it to everybody else. We are leaving early adopter land and entering the mainstream market. Fix it :) !

Following my recent post about crash protection, let's delve into another aspect: Charging hubs and waiting bays for electric vehicles. If you're an EV driver, navigating the charging station Tango during peak times, it can certainly be a test of patience. The awkward nods, gentle horn beeps, and the vigilant individuals pacing up and down the charging stations, scrutinising each status, tutting as they go! – it's a familiar scenario. Most new charging hubs find their place in existing car parks, with bays arranged in various ways. To tackle the potential rise of "charger rage," why not consider implementing dedicated waiting bays or a queue system? We Brits are World Champions of staying in line and love nothing more than an orderly queue, this solution seems to make practical sense. Alternatively, a VIP booking facility through a mobile app could streamline the process. I'm eager to hear about your experiences and the solutions you envision for a smoother charging experience.

Americans organising a Change.org petition to urge Electrify America to implement a waiting list queueing system in their App. When the planning of a location has not included the correct scaling capabilities regarding space and available Amps, search for alternative accumulators, etc. the #EVdriver becomes creative. (Luckily, this time in a positive way to reduce their frustration) CPO internal #Reservation can be seen in numerous players, but it won't contribute to the ecosystem if #Roaming is not included, especially in a professional B2B #EVfleets scenario. #LCV #trucksuitable #truckexclusive #HGV #tachograph #mandatoryrest #safety #Business #coordination David Hanke Jonas Andresen Moritz Moser Liz Allan Moritz Dickehage Taco van der Leij Angela Muresan ☀️ Moritz Eberhardt Peter van Zuylen 🌱 Moritz Hellwig Linda Grave ⚡ Sam Clarke ⚡ Niall Riddell Matthieu Codron Jordan Marsden Aleksej Trubnikov Jens Elsborg Jensen Peter Valent
