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

Interesting changes for EV charging. Not many but some significant ones:

all new chargers above 8kw must have a contactless payment pad
all operators must offer a 3rd party payment option such as Elli or Bonnet ie subscription discount service
reports of service status of a machine must be 99% and above, and a statement to the Secretary of State for Transport yearly

I think a lot of this is pretty good. Having to install apps has to go. So mandating card payment option is good. Next would be not being able to discriminate on price between card and app. Don't see that here. Like the visibly of price and status.
