Beginning next week, Australians across a huge swath of the continent will begin getting three free hours of electricity every afternoon—to charge their cars, runs their dishwashers, fill up a storage battery to run the house at night.”

I really don’t get Cariqa at all. Their solution to the exorbitant roaming charges is for everyone to connect via
them. So it’s just another sort of roaming hub. Wouldn’t it be better to tackle the problems at source and ensure that CPO prices – including time-variable ones – work properly via roaming hubs?

An electric truck operating in the mountains uses less energy than a diesel SUV
"During the data collection period from November to February, energy consumption on this route averages 92 kWh per 100 kilometers, equivalent to 10 liters of diesel. With recuperation of 25 kWh per 100 kilometers, the system operates with particularly high efficiency."

Nissan has found a new charging point partner to launch its #V2G offer in the UK (and later elsewhere in Europe): Valeo

“EVs can power the grid. Why aren’t more of them doing it?”
#V2G
“The bigger prize: shrinking network costs, not just reslicing them
[.] Demand flexibility is the mechanism. If heat pumps shift consumption away from the hours when the grid is most strained, less capacity needs to be built or reinforced in the first place. Our paper provides direct evidence on this: a heat-pump-specific time-of-use tariff reduced evening peak demand by 47%. That demand flexibility is the ticket to a genuine overall saving.”

France 🇫🇷 has introduced new tools on its electrification campaign site to help citizens find out more about electric vehicles, charging and (support for) heat pumps. There is also a kind of e…
"By the end of May 2026, petrol car registrations declined by 18.2%, with decreases across all major markets. France recorded the sharpest drop, with registrations plummeting by 36.8%, whereas other key markets also saw double-digit decreases [..] In addition, the diesel car market continued its downward trend [.] with registrations declining by 16.6%"
"Mwangi said there had been an assumption that EV adoption in Africa would follow the old pattern of second-hand imports from Europe and Asia. This had changed, he said, because EVs made in China and motorbikes assembled in Africa with Chinese parts were now rolling off the factory floor at competitive prices, providing the continent with an opportunity to leapfrog technologies."
European grid and system operators have launched a pan-EU grid hosting capacity overview: Capacitypedia.

French consumer organisation Que Choisir has examined public EV charging prices and found differences of up to 490%, depending on the payment method/subscription used by #V drivers.
On the higher purchase price of an #EV, but lower running costs: “It’s very difficult for people to wrap their head around, ‘Hey, if I spend this $55,000, I might over time save’,” said Drury. “It requires a bit more math than most people want to go through.”
Work in progress: monitoring public EV charging ad hoc prices (i.e. what you pay on the go at the charger with a bank or credit card without registration) in the European Union.
Across the EU, only 40% of pricing transparency as required by #AFIR regulation for EV charging. Most countries fail.
On the face of it, a technical detail – but aren’t details like that what make Europe a superpower? A single market for V2G, for example, absolutely requires these harmonised network codes - technical specifications for electricity - as a prerequisite.

The predictable effect of the European levies on EVs is that they have led to fewer EVs and more plug-in hybrid cars, which, in practice, have been shown time and again to offer barely any CO₂ savings. We remain dependent on imported fossil fuels.
