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.

Wow! Didn't expect this. Although the article is a bit confusing as to whether it's the network or just Tesla hardware. When I heard it on the radio this morning they specifically mentioned the supercharger network.

In the article they say they're buying the equipment.... And since it still is regulated by EU standards, it's all ccs2 and compatible with all evs a part from stuff from Japan that still uses chademo...

also V4 units are contactless payment, and possibly plug and charge as well

This makes more sense - they are just buying Supercharger hardware, not the existing network. Sky News on the radio said they were buying the network! Or maybe I misheard.
