I am with you regarding the big ones. But what about smaller media outlets and journalists to try to make a living on their own ? We need them. More then the big ones. Then the solution is to just ignore all the big ones and read the smaller ones. With ads or paying for it.

I was talking about paywall removers not adblockers in that sentence

We didn't care. We were the hosting provider nor the news outlets. But we had close contact to our customers. And a lot of the smaller customers had a hard time to even survive. The primary source of income was print until paywals came around. Some customers never had print and had to close down with the surge of ad blockers

You have to unlock the box with the company charging card. And all charging costs are paid by the employer. So only the company car is allowed. The whole behavior of the payment partner is just bullshit at this point.

Yeap, still wrong ... i will fix this later if i have some time to do it on PC ...

In theory yes. We are lacking the wallbox for now. We moved just a few month back, and while there is a solution to get the energy paid if I charge at home, I would have to buy a wallbox for way to much money from the payment provider we use for charging. There I would pay around 5k€ for a 22kW wallbox. And this box can not be used for other cars.

But: My gf ordered her Cubra Born some weeks back. And a wallbox for ~1000 with it.

I can see the prices my employer pays for my charging. On the most expensive chargers, the costs would be roughly the same as for a Diesel. On some reasonable priced chargers it gets way cheaper.

But keep in mind that we have extremely high gas prices compared to the US. We tax our diesel and gasoline with a "steering tax", as the lawmakers want citizens to save on gas, and reduce CO2 emissions.

If I would charge at home, we could get a second contract with our electricity company, with about half the usual price per kWh for charging only.

That's perfectly fine. My employer has a form to fill out, and that is only required for insurance. It is common here that your spouse may drive your company car (at least in my field of work)

Damn, I indeed fucked that one ip. kWh/km is the correct unit and I somehow did this error constantly:(

EDIT: Of course, kWh/100km

Both. I am in IT. While I have to travel some times in my position, I am allowed to use the car for personal matters, including all benefits like free charging everywhere.

I feared as much.

It is getting late over here, so thanks for the great discussion!

Amd I wish you good look in a few weeks. Feeling with you over there

I see your point. But that is such a toxic environment, and as you mentioned this can be observed from a far, that I would assume many prefer to stay under the radar to be able to at least something and not thrown under the bus by other Republicans.

Having more parties solves this part of the issue. And if the MAGA party or the Republicans end up with more votes is a completely different thing. And a thing I am scared to think about
