Dynamic energy prices at a public DC #EV charging station? Payable directly by card? And yes, this is in Germany.
Heise says it works well. I'm looking forward to better price dynamics (currently, it's capped at the low and high end, which keeps charging prices relatively high)

In principle, EV roaming enables every driver to charge anywhere on a single invoice, with information about the different prices and charging options available in advance, for example in an app. For an operator, it is a method of attracting more customers to its stations. In recent years, a clear trend has emerged: providers who want to offer roaming at other charging points to their own customers, but at the same time keep roaming customers from others out with absurd price mark-ups and tari…

⚡ Letting EVs take a load off the grid could result in 'negative emissions' while saving drivers money
https://techxplore.com/news/2025-10-evs-grid-result-negative-emissions.html

Letting EVs take a load off the grid could result in 'negative emissions' while saving drivers money
Letting electric vehicles strategically charge from and discharge to the grid could spark environmental and public health benefits for Americans, according to a new study from the University of Michigan and Carnegie Mellon University. The findings are published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.

I joined Sohail Hasnie on the Energypreneurs podcast to discuss #EV policy, #V2G, different users, electricity rates, and fundamental changes to planning grids. We also discussed the many benefits of smart electrification (not only cars)!

... I replaced one tire after I bought it but I'm pretty sure that the others are original. I'm a little irritated that I need to spend anything on it but spending $800 in ten years is probably fine.

Lighting the way for electric vehicles by using streetlamps as chargers
Electric vehicles (EVs) can have lower fuel costs and reduce emissions relative to cars that use gasoline, but they are only a practical option if drivers have convenient ways to charge them. For people who live in multi-unit dwellings or in urban areas, access to charging infrastructure may be particularly limited, which in turn limits EV adoption.

Good Morning #Canada
Can Canada's new trade deal with China for #ElectricVehicles jumpstart a shrinking market? Will 49K Chinese #EVs force current Canadian auto suppliers to provide more competitive offerings?
Canada was an anomaly in worldwide EV sales as our electric vehicle sales declined while every other major nation saw substantial increases. Even the U.S. had a modest increase in battery electric vehicles despite Trump's attempts to kill them. Canada EV sales dropped by almost 50% due to canceled government rebates, slow expansion of a charging network, increased pricing, and auto manufacturers cutting back production in favour of hybrids and gas engines. And North American manufacturers invested substantial lobbying dollars to roll back zero emission mandates.
While Canadian manufacturers cry foul, auto dealers are cautiously optimistic. They see cheaper vehicles as a good alternative to what's available today.

🇳🇴 Norwegian #EV drivers in many areas can now earn a 'Ladebonus' for offering flexibility to the energy system, regardless of their energy supplier or contract. With the 'Norgespris' static low price removing incentives for smart home charging, this enables grid-friendly behaviour in a user-friendly way.

Making electric vehicles and their batteries is a dirty process that uses a lot of energy. But a new study says that EVs quickly make up for that with less overall emissions through two years of use than a gas-powered vehicle.
