IMO, the concern isn't so much dismantling it as mismanaging it. Some of these charge networks are moving to REALLY unattractive pricing models.

Yup.... shell (via subsidiary newmotion.com) just changed their pricing model in the Netherlands. From variable pricing per charging point (most cheaper than 35ct), they now have a fixed 35ct /kwh overall.
In practice it means my charging went from 18 or 25ct to 35ct/kwh. Lets just say I haven't used shell-recharge/newmotion since they implemented this last month.

Do you have a recommendation for another “provider”. I do like the maturity of the new motion app and most chargers i frequent were 32-35ct/kWh already.
I wonder what people now pay for charging for my NewMotion charger at home. That used to be controlled by my price. If I set that to 10ct/kWh, will they make a 25ct margin?
