WenVAT might fall on EV chargers
An interesting short article covering a ruling that the application of VAT on EV chargers away from home is discriminatory (as home chargers do not pay 20%). This might be good news to many, although I am sure that revenue lost will be clawed back eventually (possibly through the mileage charge soon to be introduced for electric cars)
#Truck #Charging: #UnternehmerTUM und #Industriepartner.
München, 5. März 2026. Wie lassen sich #Elektro- #Lkw effizient, planbar und #standortübergreifend laden? Mit dem #Co-Innovationsprojekt „ #Truck_Charging “ haben #UnternehmerTUM und ein Konsortium aus #Industrie, #Energie, #Logistik und #Technologie eine konkrete Antwort entwickelt: ein interoperables, digitales #Reservierungssystem, das erstmals #Routenplanung, #Ladeplanung und verbindliche #Reservierungen...
Richard RatheAgree. As an agnostic driver of my friend's Model Y (back before #DOGE) I concluded that the real genius of #Tesla was the charging network they built from scratch.
"I'm on my third #Prius and I had NO IDEA how robust the Tesla #charging network is. I felt like I was seeing a parallel universe for the first time. It's basically squirreled away in obscure parking lots and back alleys. This makes sense, using space that is otherwise underused and local businesses benefit because drivers have 20-60 min of time to kill while they charge.
For example, Green River #Utah, a town of less than 1000 off of I-70, has 8-12 supercharger stations in the parking lot of the John Wesley Powell River History Museum (worth a visit!). We pulled in, plugged in, went across the street to the Tamarisk Restaurant to eat dinner (nice place!), and by the time we were done the battery was full. We then drove on."

Phil Thane ✅@Ruth_Mottram Something that never send to be explained in any miraculous fast charging battery story—the cable and connection. To charge a battery in ⅕ the time you need 5x the current or 5x the voltage. Or some trade-off between the two. The first would need a cable roughly twice the diameter of existing rapid chargers, and they are already heavy. The second adds to safety problems. So what are Byd proposing? Does anyone know? #byd #ev #charging #batteries

ChuffGotta say this is the first time I've heard of it, and its definitely neat, though I gotta wonder how well it can work, my phone is pretty sensitive about its charger connection, a bad connection will run hot and slow
