β€œCharge here for free: plug in the charging cable and switch on the socket.” Ah, the good old days. (2019 - Practically ancient history in EV years) πŸ˜„ Hard to believe this was in Germany, where today we argue about unfair and non-transparent charging prices and rightly so. πŸ˜… The site used to have a DBT charger, later replaced by an Efacec QC45, and then by an ABB Terra 54.

The Nordics are a breath of fresh air when it comes to EV charger variety. So many types and brands installed there. This one? No idea. πŸ˜… Does anyone know who makes this charger? I am really interested if it is a current charger or a legacy one? Location: K-Citymarket Iso Omena - Piispansilta 11, 02230 Espoo, Finland Pic Credits: Google

Amazing transformation: Gas Station to EV charging site. What could make it better? πŸ€” Probably an Alpitronic HYC 1000 with CCS/MCS for truck charging here. πŸ˜„ CPO: Uno-X Location: Trondheimsveien 1670, 2450 Rena Current chargers: 3x Alpitronic HYC 300 Pics: Uno-X and Google Maps

Slow AC charging in China: cheaper, same or expensive than fast charging? What do you think? Take a guess. Three options: πŸ˜„ - Cheaper - More expensive - Same These are from Shenzhen, and finding them was extremely difficult. To my surprise, DC chargers were much easier to find. Not always β€œfast” either: I saw plenty of 30 kW and 60 kW DC units too. But I’m curious what you think πŸ˜„

I came across this charger and honestly can't identify it. If you have seen it before or know the manufacturer / model, I would really appreciate your feedback / help here. πŸ˜„ πŸ™ CPO: Electra Charger: 24 kW DC, possibly with a Type 2 socket as well (not sure on this) Pic credits: Electra
