Elektromobilität: Unterschiedlich hohe Ladepreise: Dieses Urteil könnte den deutschen Lademarkt umkrempeln
Das Laden von E-Autos ist unterwegs oft unübersichtlich und teuer. Das Landgericht München hat nun im Streit um Ladepreise ein Urteil gefällt, das die Tarifmodelle der Branche verändern könnte.
Munich - The Munich I Land Court ruled on Tuesday that its decision could reshape the pricing landscape for public electric vehicle charging stations in Germany. The court determined that EWE Go, the charging station operator under Digital Charging Solutions (DCS), cannot charge higher rates per kilowatt-hour than EWE Go app customers.
Furthermore, DCS cannot impose an additional fee for using the DCS app to customers of EWE Go. DCS is a joint venture of BMW, Mercedes, and BP, which also operates charging cards for other car manufacturers. Based on the judgment, EWE Go might be able to seek retroactive compensation from the operator starting from April 13, 2024.
The court clarified that DCS must generally bear the costs for damages since then. However, the case is about more than just compensation. At its core, the dispute focuses on why prices for the same electricity at the same charging station can vary so significantly.
