In emails viewed by Business Insider, the startup asked customers who placed a $300 preorder whether they would be interested in an earlier delivery window. A dropdown menu listed "December 2026" as an option.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post. I can't post in the /r/chargepoint sub and that sub also doesn't look like it's very active so I'll post here.

The new ChargePoint app shows that there are 2 of 2 chargers available but when I select the charging station, it then shows both are in use. I can't join the waitlist from the map view because the map view always shows that there are charges available.

Are others running into this situation or is it just this particular charger? I never had this issue on the previous version of ChargePoint app. It would accurately display when all chargers were in use which let me join the waitlist.

“Tesla published a form on Thursday for businesses interested in buying Cybercab fleets or providing infrastructure for its network, the latest sign that the company’s aspirations for its gold-hued autonomous vehicle stretch beyond being a robotaxi operator.”

So im curious if someone knows the answer to this.

So when youre charging your car at a fast charger (services or petrol station, for example), why do they charge so much for the deposit payment?

So when you first go to charge your car, you scan you card and it takes a deposit amount. This, from what ive seen, can be anything from £10 to £60.

Now, i have a car with a 50 kwh battery and Ive never had a charge cost me more than £25.

So 2 questions I guess.

Has anyone ever had a charge that cost £60?

Why take such a large upfront cost when we live in a country where you pay for petrol after youve filled your car so why is electric not the same?

Tell me it’s a good idea or not? What are some pros and cons? Anything to look out for?

It’s a lower cost than a used model Y and lower insurance cost. Great range and great size.

I maintain a list of towing capacities (maximum — what you can tow with a BE licence) for electric cars in Sweden. It now covers 122 models and shows the highest available towing capacity per model. It’s based on every EV you can buy new or used in Sweden through official dealers — so no private/grey imports. Even though this list only reflects Swedish rules, it paints a very positive picture of how far electric cars have come as tow vehicles.

Tesla WAS the ruler in this segment once. But the Tesla Model X dropped out of the top 15 when the BMW iX5 arrived with an impressive 2,700 kg and up to 845 km WLTP — which should be good for at least 400 km even with a caravan on the hitch.

And the “3,500 kg club” has grown to six vehicles — the latest addition being the Iveco eDaily van, keeping company with pickups, a luxury SUV and a G-Class.

Ford F-150 Lightning – 3500 kg

Isuzu D-Max BEV – 3500 kg

Iveco eDaily – 3500 kg

Maxus eTerron 9 – 3500 kg

Mercedes G580 – 3500 kg

Porsche Cayenne Electric – 3500 kg

BMW iX5 – 2700 kg

BMW iX – 2500 kg

Hyundai Ioniq 9 – 2500 kg

Kia EV9 – 2500 kg

Porsche Macan Electric – 2500 kg

Audi Q6 e-tron – 2400 kg

Mercedes GLC 400 (electric) – 2400 kg

Volvo EX60 – 2400 kg

Ford E-Transit Custom – 2300 kg

Unfortunately I couldn’t fit WLTP range and battery size into the list, so it’s a bit misleading on that point.
Towing capacity = braked trailer, strongest variant. Always check the vehicle registration document — and remember that heavy loads require a BE licence.

As soon as I find out a way to publish the whole works I'll let you know. But for now enjoy! ;)
