What baffles me the most is, that this change is actually a price increase. From a static 0.59 to 0.56-0.67 cents per kWh. And I can't imagine that it will be below the old 0.59 cents for more hours per day than it will be above the old value. So customers will pay more most of the time. <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/ev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ev</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/dynamicpricing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dynamicpricing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/emobility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>emobility</span></a> <br><a href="https://www.electrive.net/2025/07/01/shell-testet-dynamische-preise-an-schnellladern/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">electrive.net/2025/07/01/shell</span><span class="invisible">-testet-dynamische-preise-an-schnellladern/</span></a></p>

Their partners can offer dynamic prices using the Cariqa platform, depending on the station utilisation or other factors.<br>They can display the prices in a time table for the future, which allows a decent planning.

Flipboard Culture Desk<p>The "dynamic pricing" row around tickets for Oasis's 2025 tour is rumbling on. Prices for the comeback gigs increased by more than £200 (U.S. $262.92) as demand soared. The re-formed band claimed they did not know dynamic pricing would be used and that they left decisions up to promoters and management, while Ticketmaster says they were also not responsible for the pricing policy.

@Free_Press As an off peak demand consumer already, my choice to avoid ordering fries that have been sitting around under a heat lamp for hours means less profit for businesses.

The only solution is to demand a fresh made batch with no salt which ruins profit margins and pisses off employees whohate doing extra work for meager wages.

Stale #FrenchFries aren’t worth any kind of marketing as an “off peak demand discount”.

#DynamicPricing
#FastFood
#Gameification

Ignoring practical implementations (which are overwhelming bad, as it is driven by profit), #DynamicPricing #algorithm still looks flawed, even in theory. Does an efficient #market (which is practically impossible anyway) really benefit people more than, say, #coop ? I think we should jump out of the concepts of #money.

动态定价在实际操作上早已弊端重重,但理论上鄙人认为这也说不过去。一个高效运行的市场难道会比集体主义(比如资源共享)更加造福于人吗?鄙人认为我们不应该把自己局限于金钱的观念。
