The Wild West of EV infrastructure

AC or DC?, Level 1, 2 or 3?, Charging Speed? Slow, Fast, Superfast, 22Khw, 120kHw, 150kHw or even faster? 800volt charging systems, J1772, CHAdeMO, CCS or DC Combo, 16amps maybe? Confused? That isn’t surprising. There are hundreds of different Charge Point Operators (CPOs), and new ones pop up almost weekly. There are different connector types, various payment methods, and multiple different charging apps. Some don’t show all networks, and some show real-time charger status, and some car manufacturers have their own networks. There are different charging cards, some which require pre-registering. Is there a single charging card for all? Yes, but not really. Welcome to the world of charging today – where companies compete with very few rules and next to no standardisation; the result is a Wild West of free-market inefficiency, and the consumers and the EV market, and therefore the planet, will suffer. All the battery range and electric infrastructure in the world won’t matter if you can’t plan, pay, or access them. To encourage people to make the electric leap, charging should be as simple as, or even simpler than, filling your car with gas. Today this just isn’t the case. Fail to plan, plan to fail When you are sold a non-Tesla electric car, the guy selling it to you has probably only sold a handful of EVs versus hundreds of ICE cars. The ‘product handover’ is light, to say the least. You will normally be handed your car key and if you’re lucky a charging card, then sent on your… Read More

Children on board: how to prepare for a long flight with a child in 2022

Updated: 25/04/2022

The behavior of children on an airplane is akin to a soccer game: it is difficult to predict the outcome. Social networks are flooded with pictures of happy families on vacation. But even a trip to the city center with a child can cause more trouble than pleasure, if you don’t prepare for it carefully. In general, forget romance and spontaneity. Mom and Dad’s best friend on the road are a detailed plan and math. It’s good if you have 2-3 weeks in reserve. During this time you can have time to perform all necessary procedures, collect documents, visit doctors, and psychologically prepare the child. Choosing an airline The cornerstone is the choice of airline. One thing is to fly light with friends, another thing is to spend long hours in the sky to entertain your child and to keep the peace of mind of the passengers. The rules for transporting children on a plane are easy to find on the websites of most airlines. There are difficult cases when the child is 2 or 12 years old during the trip. Here each carrier has its rules, but many of them still allow customers to save money, like bonuses you see after entering your National Casino login. There are also bonus programs that give families with children benefits for frequent flights. The stroller can be used until the gangway, at which it will be taken to the luggage compartment. Check where you can pick it up when you arrive: it is not always possible at… Read More

Bus trip: How to make your journey perfect in 2022

Posted: 26/03/2022

A long trip on the bus is usually annoying and even infuriating. Especially if there is a sleeping old lady nearby, a small child who constantly throws tantrums, a teenager who talks loudly and incessantly on the phone, and other irritants. Here are some tips on how to cope with stress and enjoy a long trip. Ways to travel in comfort by bus Take something to keep you occupied Before departure, it’s worth it to see what you can do to entertain yourself. In this case, the duration of the trip doesn’t play any importance. It’s best to take with you a book, games, music player, tablet, or laptop. And find out if there is an Internet connection to play at Woo Casino or watch new YouTube videos. Stay calm When on the road, you need to calm down, get a grip, sit back and relax. You need to take advantage of everything you have taken with you. Look at the scenery floating outside the window or talk to your fellow passengers. Avoid arguments with travellers Such an approach makes the trip uncomfortable and stressful for everyone. It’s important to remember that you are in a limited space, so you need to keep a positive attitude and mindset. Be polite to those around you You must be patient and keep a positive attitude. Don’t yell at other passengers, express your complaints and grievances. Otherwise, what is happening around really will be annoying. Try not to pay attention to fellow passengers Moreover, the less familiar people,… Read More
