Major Motor makes team up for Europe wide fast charging

[Modiman46]

BMW, Ford, VW, Audi, Daimler, Porsche, to provide fast charging up to 350 Kw. If this will be the way forward, will Ecotricity bother to upgrade or continue to go bust ? If they do wake up to charging for the Kwh they might start to be competative, because the motor makers are now starting to get their act together. Fantastic that Elon Musk`s long term plans are working to shake up the Motor, transport & energy Industry.

There is already a thread about this in this forum.

Topic Title ? Do you mean the topic " The Future " if so there is NOT much about a universal standard for a high Powered charging network.
Is it just more talk, No action ?
Meanwhile Tesla are getting on with a rapidly expanding supercharging network worldwide that works ( if only for them at present but apparently that is open for those who want to buy in to it ).

Thanks, I have just now read all of that thread. Interesting but liked this last comment ;- Quote ;-- (( Or indeed people such as me who commute between 80 and 95 miles each way, depending which route I take! Easily done on one charge, home electricity is from a 100% renewable energy company until we move, when solar will provide it all. So far I've spent an extra £400 on electricity in 14,000 miles of driving, vs. circa £3,000 on petrol or diesel, all with zero tailpipe emissions - happy days. )) Petrol & Diesel keep going up. Renewables keep coming down & pollution far less !
