The best #EV #charging app I've found is #Electroverse, run by #Octopus. It provides an optional card that works with lots of chargers in the UK and abroad. But it doesn't seem complete: there are chargers that I believe exist, which Electroverse doesn't know about.

If you know of a better app, I'd be glad to hear about it!

🆕 blog! “Petrol Stations 🆚 Car Charging Locations”

Journalists love context-free numbers - things that sound large and scary, but without any helpful information to allow you to judge their significance.

Here's a good example from a BBC article about Electric Vehicle subsidies:

There are around 1.3 million electric cars on Britain's roads but currently only around…

Nice spot in town, Dutch registration plates, sitting charging near the West coast of Ireland, so quite a way from home.

This is why I will still drive a #petrol car for the next few years (its not even the fault of the Council as such, but their private sector contractor they used can't maintain the #EV chargers in a timely manner, and the other companies which do keep them working are charging way more for the #electricity )

I've seen the same issues reported the other side of the Stour in #Essex - whereas you can still get petrol and #diesel (often 24/7) from many places..

#Trump Blocks California #EV Rules in Latest Move to *Rein In* the State

California leaders said the #state intends to challenge the move in #court, & to find new ways to move drivers toward #ElectricVehicles.

Trump signed joint resolutions of #Congress on Thurs that block California’s effort to phase out gasoline-powered vehicles, his latest attempt to reduce the power of the nation’s most populous state.

The #Republican-led #Congress passed the resolutions in May to reverse #Biden’s approval of #California’s #EV efforts. When signed by the president, joint resolutions revoking federal rules carry the force of #law & are not subject to #judicial review.

Even so, the move is expected to draw an immediate #legal challenge from CA, as well as an #ExecutiveOrder from Gov #GavinNewsom directing state ofcls to find another path to move the state’s drivers toward EVs & encourage companies to make them.

4/4 I’ve always loved the idea of electric motoring. I tried to build an electric go-kart when I was a kid. I’m in no way anti-#EV. But I AM very much anti-consumerism.

I kept my last car 13 years. My youngest motorbike is 20 years old. I’ve never bought a new car.
I want an EV I can run, repair, keep on the road until I recycle the battery pack into home storage.

I guess I’m anti-growth 🙀

Replacing Curbs With New Sidewalk Chargers Promises To Make EV Ownership Even More Convenient

Level 2 charging boxes designed to slot into the curb itself. There's no cable included, meaning you'll have to travel with your own cable, but that's a pretty minor inconvenience, all things considered.
