waiting at a charging station.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

i\u2018m a newcomer to electric charging my car. but i\u2018ve learnt a lot. what\u2018s easy is using my \u201cinternalized\u201c map: i know where and how to charge the vehicle close to my home. on the road it\u2018s different, and on long distance rides even more complex. if you stick to the same provider who has a decent network of charging parks near the autobahn, you\u2018re fine. that\u2018s one of the things i\u2018ve learnt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

when parking my car at a charging station which is new to me, things might work out well. but often they don\u2018t. the EV phase we\u2019re living in may remind automobile historians of the early days of combustion engines when the chauffeurs had to buy petrol at the drug store. of course, not all drug stores had petrol for cars, and obviously the petrol mixes varied from store to store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

with EVs these days here are three major \u201cissues\u201c:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

there are RFID cards, \u201ccontactless\u201c smartphones, apps. often they interfere with each other. example: yesterday i used the app of a certain meta-provider. the app wanted me to start charging by pressing \u201ccharge now\u201c. at the same time the display of the charging station asked me to confirm the charging process by pressing a physical button. which i did. \u2014 charging stopped immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

if you have, say, 3 cards or apps which are compatible with a certain charging station, you have to compare prices. this is a tedious process. example: i used card A for charging and later found out that card B would have been better. contactless smartphone check-in with google pay would have been more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

different charging stations demand different sequences of using the app\/card and plugging in the cable. some need the cable to be connected before starting the whole process. others want to start with the card or app. if you restart the registration you might need to unplug the cable from your car, so the car knows the charging process failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

interesting times. we\u2018re already in a consolidation process. in five years time there will be standards like for petrol stations these days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
