Copper theft of EV charge cables is a growing issue, especially the thick 50kW cables.
Osprey's answer to cable theft - a pressurised dye around the cable
Let's hope it doesn't malfunction and cover me in orange dye !

This is essential reading on competition in the European EV charging market, and on how Charging Point Operators (CPOs) cannot treat Mobility Service Providers (MSPs) and their own internal business units unequally. Regulators can already take effective action against market abuse even before #AFIR, the European Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation is enforced more effectively

While not the cheapest cost per kWh when it comes to public charging, but $0.75 for 45 minutes of charging when ~4.4 kWh dispensed, it was nice to get a bit of level 2 charging while shopping and visiting the farmers market.
The cost for the charger was $1/hour for the first 4 hours.

Interesting! From our local library:
“EV FAST-CHARGING LAUNCH
Press Conference and Fast-charging Demo on May 1, 2026 from 12:00 - 1:00 PM at the Ocean Shores Library. Expanding clean transportation in Grays Harbor. In attendance: State Representative Adam Bernbaum, Ocean Shores City Administrator Scott Andersen, and Clean & Prosperous Executive Director Michael Mann. Funded by Washington's Climate Commitment Act.” -
Survey for Warwickshire people - cross-pavement EV charging is a bad idea, further surrendering and cementing the notion of ownership of public space, and introducing new failure points for pavements. Tensions over "parking in my spot" can already be high. This will make it much worse.

Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has announced funding for 24 DC fast charging sites along key corridors (including Interstate 84 and US Highways 20 and 101) as part of NEVI Phase 2.

Tonight @Kuniti_shino needs to raise $20-$30 to cover EV charging so mizu can go get the SNAP/EBT card from an annoyingly distant county office (counties in this area are pooling services in adjacent counties sometimes).
The Vulpibus also needs fuel, around $180 worth.
The most recent money went to groceries, props for the rest of the solar panels, electronics parts cleaner fluid for the bus engine connections and a sillcock key for ease of water access in towns and cities.Please send funds to:
PAYPAL https://paypal.me/inaraclocks
or KO-FI https://ko-fi.com/inamruzui as these put the money in the right place for use with EVGo and connected charging networks like Chargepoint.
If you want to donate via other means, please ask, we do have other options.We have now banded together with other vehicle dwellers to begin to construct our first convoy. It's happening, with your help!

What should have been compared in Jason Om’s “comparison” article:
- the cost of charging an EV at home, with and without solar panels, compared to the cost of refuelling at current petrol, and diesel, prices
- the convenience of starting your day with a car fully charged when you’re charger at home
- the convenience of some charging stations being closer to places you’d like to visit in towns
- a general comparison of EV charging locations to petrol station locations (not just a Sydney centric interview with a state minister, lamely attempting to criticise their charging infrastructure roll-out policy)
- the difference in cost of fast charging and slow charging when out and about - including reference to the free charging that’s sometimes available
- how long does it actually take to refuel a car (not just a throw away “2 minutes”) - factoring queues at the counter, queues getting in to the petrol station forecourt, etc -
I have a lot of respect for ABC News (Australia) reporter Jason Om. But this piece comparing cost and time for EV ownership was a pretty poor attempt at “actual” comparison.
The “cost” comparison was really just some lady interviewed at a charging location on the Hume, saying it cost me about $20. And a mention later of his own charging cost on a roadtrip.
The time to charge comparison was based entirely on his own peak usage, first-time experience. He factored in 10 minutes to download an app, which is a once off task only. He also charged to 100%, and says that took an hour, without breaking down the time it would have taken to charge to just 80% or 90% - which, for road trips, is recommended to avoid hogging chargers and wasting your own time.
The EV journalist he interviewed on the road trip made the point that most charging is done at home. But nowhere in his conclusion did that rate a mention.
Words in his article like “pushed the EV to its limit” … by driving just 130kms? lol. He was in a recent model Polestar, not a 2011 Nissan Leaf. The range of the Polestar, at that state of charge, was far greater than 130km.
Charging on his roadtrip cost him $35 for 54% of the battery? What kWh rate was that?? It sounds enormously expensive to me. My last fast charge from 17% to 100% (that’s 83% of my Tesla Model 3 battery) cost $32. So either his Polestar battery is super long range, or he paid a high premium at the charger.
Why oh why do “main stream media” reporters do such an average job of objective comparison when it comes to the take-up of EV’s?

Astonishing! What is the standard / why are there no standards / who is asleep at the wheel (because standards…)???
And great question: what are they doing with all that data (and who’s regulating it)?

Growing EV popularity is leading to queues at fast chargers. Could a kerbside charger network help?

Today there were a couple of interesting filings at the #CPUC that seek to open up the currently capped level of retail electric competition for larger customers, known as #DirectAccess. This is happening because of the significant new load growth due to #DataCenters, #EVCharging and #Electrification. Because the CPUC has ordered LSEs to procure more capacity for these future loads, there's a potential cost shift if #ESPs are not permitted to serve the new loads due to the the cap. It will be interesting to see whether the hostility against #DA continues or not. #CAEnergy #Energy

De Cube Smart laadpaal is er uit en de #Peblar geïnstalleerd. 🥳 #EV
Installatie was binnen 30 minuten gedaan.👌🏻#HomeAssistant integratie gemaakt en aangemeld voor ERE’s.Cube Charging is het meest slechtste bedrijf qua communicatie dat ik ken, komt nooit afspraken na en qua functionaliteit niet leveren wat ze beloofd hebben. Ik raad iedereen met klem aan om niet met dit bedrijf in zee te gaan!
Blijkt na aanmelden voor ERE’s dat er ook nog niet eens een MID meter in zit. 🤪 -
