This is episode 158 of EV Musings a podcast about renewables, electric vehicles and things that are interesting to electric vehicle owners.

This is episode 157 of EV Musings a podcast about renewables, electric vehicles and things that are interesting to electric vehicle owners.

Reading my social media timeline would seem to indicate that this is a major problem - although I’m sure the charge point operators look at it differently. Today we chat about good charging networks, a little history, what issues we’re having, and what the solutions are.

153 - The Paua Episode
This is episode 153 of EV Musings a podcast about renewables, electric vehicles and things that are interesting to electric vehicle owners. On the show today we'll be looking at centralised payment processes for charging. Before you yawn and scream BORING!, bear with me a moment The UK has 80 different charge point operators. Germany has many more. Ideally payment should be via a contactless payment card. But there are companies (usually those with large fleets) who need access to all the chargers without the hassle of dealing with individual expense claims for charging.
