"We are worried how much oil is flowing through the Straight of Hormuz
Meanwhile, here in China solar & (fast) chargers
None of the drivers are worried about price of oil
or the geopolitical situation, because the electricity is here
if someone wants to go faster; swap" nitter.net/electricfeli...
the variety indeed, the things I saw in just one street somewhere in Chiapas, unbelievable :D
Fastned pretends that € 11,99 buys you 30% discount and this used to be true.
Yet: since my dad would always use the app (he doesn't thanks to Autocharge) his actual discount was lowered to 21%

absolutely blown away by what I saw during three weeks in January!
Deutschland ist allerdings nicht für günstige Strompreise bekannt. Wie soll das funktionieren? Pallasch: Natürlich sind wir nicht das Land mit dem günstigsten Strom, aber der Börsenstrompreis ist nicht rund um die Uhr hoch. Es gibt günstige Zeitfenster. Hier kommt die Sektorkopplung ins Spiel: Wie kann sich eine gut rechnende, flexible Branche wie die Logistik gegen das Energiesystem optimieren? Wenn ein Lkw acht Stunden steht, muss er nicht zwingend in der teuersten Stunde laden. Um diese Preissignale an den Endkunden weitergeben zu können, setzen wir auf das sogenannte Durchleitungsmodell.
Was bedeutet das konkret für den Spediteur? Pallasch: Aktuell kommt ein günstiger Börsenstrompreis an der Ladesäule oft gar nicht beim Kunden an, weil der Betreiber dazwischen steht. Das Durchleitungsmodell bricht diese Barriere auf. Wir entkoppeln quasi die Infrastruktur von der Energiebeschaffung. Das ermöglicht Wettbewerb auf der Zugangsebene. Wir suchen in unseren Ausschreibungen diejenigen Betreiber, die das günstigste Angebot für die Nutzerinnen und Nutzer machen - und nicht jene, die dem Staat die höchsten Konzessionsgebühren zahlen, welche sie sich später über überhöhte Strompreise vom Kunden zurückholen müssten.
Viele Logistiker fürchten dennoch, dass der Ausbau der Ladeinfrastruktur nicht mit den Fahrzeugverkäufen Schritt hält. Wie ist hier das Tempo? Pallasch: Es gibt eine zweispurige Strategie für maximales Tempo. Erstens hat der Bund sehr frühzeitig und proaktiv die Netzanschlüsse an den Bundesautobahnen bestellt - noch bevor klar ist, wer die Standorte später betreibt. Das spart enorm Zeit. Zweitens laufen die Ausschreibungen für die Betreiber, etwa für das Lkw-Schnellladenetz an unbewirtschafteten Rastanlagen. Wir haben die Netzanschlüsse so dimensioniert, dass wir an vielen Standorten perspektivisch 80 Prozent der Lkw-Stellplätze elektrifizieren können. Wir müssen hier groß denken, statt in Trippelschritten voranzugehen.
What Germany is doing right for public HDV charging:
- Early grid applications w/ forward-looking capacity
- Not one electricity price, but many. How do you give users access to these?
- Tenders for the best offer for the user, not recouping costs later with high prices

"BYD will make its trucks at its bus factory in Hungary. Steyr will build SuperPanther's trucks under contract at an Austrian factory that previously made MAN trucks.
"Having our trucks assembled in Europe is a very good storyline for us," said SuperPanther's head of sales Frank Schulz."

"That is their biggest advantage... how they scale quickly from innovation to a really industrial state,"
Scania CEO Christian Levin said on a tour of the company's electric truck factory in Södertälje, Sweden.
"That's something that we as Europeans need to learn."

original statement in Spanish by Luis bsky.app/profile/luis...
"In 2025, 💥169 GW💥 of wind power was installed worldwide.
That's outrageous. It's more than the total power generated in Spain by any technology. Or in France
And the top six in the ranking are Chinese. Thank goodness they're there, or we would have already lost this battle against climate change"

Cupra in Spain is a fascinating story, I follow @luisvaldes.eurosky.social closely for this :D
beautiful graph
I hate to hate on Merkel. But not only was she supremely naive to trust Russia on energy, her unwillingness to use her immense political capital to get Germany to do the right thing during the financial crisis, caused immense economic harm.

Bloomberg: Oil shock looms for China after inflation got boost from holiday – ‘China’s consumer-price growth accelerated to the quickest in over three years and factory deflation moderated again, after a rally in energy markets and as household spending boomed’
Germany is a fascinating market, but I think markets like Spain will actually matter way more in the years to come, because they are more like any market in the world, people buy affordable stuff that works
10695 public charging points (10/03/2026) 2035: 2035 2018 0
Brussels 🇧🇪 has reached the milestone of 10,000 public EV charging points. This is an impressive achievement, considering that eight years ago, at the start of the coordinated roll-out, there were almost none.

"We are noticing that the business model that carried us for decades no longer works in this form," CEO Oliver Blume said.
"We are simply seeing how volatile and fragile our world is, with new issues arising every month."

What an interesting and inspiring conversation with @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social ❤️
So much to reflect on… and to be better on.
when using CC there is none?
many of these McD's have alternative charging in visible range from the restaurant
you don't feel like another app today?
that'll be a 61% markup per kWh, sir yes sir
#McDonalds #Deutschland how do you think it's going?

it is not the best
and you are right, I wonder why Germany does this screwing of avg joe customers at a scale I have yet to find elsewhere
