There are company cards with a provider-independent flat rate of around 50-55ct/kWh - also independent of the charging power. This way, the drivers are not limited in their choice and the costs go down.The majority of the charging sessions are done at €0.79.
We have had a few test BEVs in the company car fleet for quite some time. BEVs have been generally orderable for 3 months now, but at conditions that are completely unattractive. The few hundred long-distance drivers, with a similar driving profile to MachsSelbst, have been excluded from the start. But even with the rest, I see little interest because after careful calculation the result is very clear. Our fleet manager and management simply have no desire for it.
In a small team, we rebuilt a company for three years. In doing so, we converted the entire car fleet to BEVs – including the field service. The conversion had several reasons, one of which was "image," because as a company in the photovoltaic industry, driving electric vehicles is only consistent. We began leasing Tesla 3 in 2020, later also Model Y. The vehicles were very popular with the employees and were significantly cheaper in the total cost of ownership (TCO) than a BMW 318d or Audi A4 with a "small" engine.Please don't forget that the maintenance costs become significantly cheaper and there are practically no engine damages.
We didn't allow this kind of incredibility within the company. As an external consultant, I was cheerfully teased for my combustion engine car, with which I commuted the 500 km weekly to the client.Of course, this does not apply to our CEO, who after three years of BEV no longer had any interest in the technology and treated himself to a gasoline car again.
If the production and distribution of fossil fuels consumed so much of the energy content of these fuels, industrialization would never have happened. So please don't spread nonsense.That's right. Depending on the source you ask, very different figures are given. If you settle between an oil company and an environmental organization, you come to about 3 kWh per liter of diesel. That is almost a third of the energy content of diesel. It is unclear what CO2 and dirt emissions these 3 kWh cause; the share in oil-producing countries and at sea is likely extremely dirty. Some have understood that electricity doesn't come from the socket, but somehow believe that diesel comes from the gas pump.
Ever heard of a "dark doldrums"? It is supposed to happen more often.In winter, the photovoltaic share is significantly lower, but the wind power share is likely higher. With the corresponding expansion of large storage systems, the coal share should also decrease in the long term. Is there not surplus charging for that?
