A UK-centric Electric Vehicles community, where discussion/news of the wider European continent is welcome.
All discussion of EVs (and hybrids for the moment), charging networks, etc, welcome!
No USA/Americas news unless it is relevant to the UK/Europe - most of the existing EV communities on Lemmy are awash with US discussion, please use one of those. US news and discussion will be removed.
The main "global" EV community is !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net

The great news is that they are working on flexible pricing, even if the first steps are not ideal for all of us. Car and home batteries, flexible pricing and a bit of automation can make the overall electricity system significantly more efficient and reliable.
To be fair to Osprey, they already have peak and off-peak charging rates (at least through Electroverse, and it might only be at some sites). They are, however, one of the most expensive networks out there. Their off-peak rates bring them down to where Ionity is.
Yeah definitely, it's moving in the right direction. I like what Octopus is doing in general and this fits in with that.
