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?
