As part of an experiment that currently only applies to California, the American charging operator Electrify America will limit the charging of electric cars to 85 percent.
At the American charging operator Electrify America, 'here and no further' is the same as 85 percent current on the battery. At least in California.
As part of an attempt to create less queues and thus shorter waiting times at the publicly accessible charging stations, the operator is now limiting the charging options.
It happens tentatively. And initially only at 10 charging stations in California, but Electrify America reserves the right to expand the trial.

The system works in such a way that electric cars do not get any electricity after the 85 percent has been achieved. After this, the owners have 10 minutes to disconnect the cars and move away from the charging station so that others can get to them.
If the car is not moved, charges will be imposed on the charging. Fees that increase in size until the car is removed from the site.
The goal is to get the electric car owners away so that they do not bother each other more than is absolutely necessary. The car factories also go to great lengths to talk about the time it takes to charge the electric cars. The time from 10 to 80 percent current is most often talked about.
According to Tesla, which currently sells Denmark's most popular electric car, the Model Y, this can be done in approximately 25 minutes.
Electrify America writes that the trial period begins already this month. However, the charging operator has not set an end date for the experiment.
