Record electricity prices and EVs with shorter range

It will be expensive to use electricity on Monday, and a new test shows that electric cars run up to 30 percent less per charge than stated. At the same time, barely 150 West Jutland stories about inclusion in the municipal school have led to a series of recommendations, and Forbrugerrådet Tænk warns against food bought on Temu.

Electricity price hits annual record on Monday

Monday will be an exceptionally expensive time to switch on the electricity, as the day’s average spot price breaks the annual record. This is shown in a calculation from Eltjek24. On average, a kilowatt-hour costs 3,80 kr. west of Storebælt and 4,10 kr. east of Storebælt.

Between 17:00 and 18:00, the price peaks at 7,14 kr. per kilowatt-hour in West Denmark, including tariffs, VAT and taxes. The raw electricity price reaches 6 kr. TV MIDTVEST

Electric cars travel up to 30 percent less than stated

The consumer council Tænk has tested the range of that kind in 44 electric cars across different sizes and manufacturers in its first test of the sort. The result is that electric cars travel up to 30 percent less per charge than stated. The organization writes this in a press release. TV MIDTVEST

Temu food dumped in testing: up to 22 degrees upon delivery

Seven times, a range of sausages, pâté and cheese was ordered home from the large trading platform Temu. All seven times they failed a test conducted by Forbrugerrådet Tænk, TV 2 writes.

Several of the items were up to 22 degrees when they were delivered – despite a recommended storage temperature of 8 degrees. “When products arrive warm at consumers’ homes, there will be an increased risk that bacteria have developed in the food that you could become ill from eating,” says Lisbeth Truelstrup Hansen, professor of microbiology at Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU).

150 stories about inclusion become advice for the public school

Three parents from Holstebro Kommune (the local authority) started the website InkluToo.dk a little over a year ago. Here, nearly 150 teachers and parents have anonymously shared their experiences of inclusion in the public school and offered good advice on how inclusion can be improved.

Among the proposals are several yard supervisors during breaks, better guidance for all staff in the public school, and allowing children to have a say in their school life. One of the parents behind the website hopes that the stories and advice can be used to improve inclusion in general across all Danish public schools. DR Nyheder Midt- og Vestjylland

FCM disappointed after 2-2 draw with Sønderjyske

FC Midtjylland had to settle for a 2-2 draw at home against Superliga bottom club Sønderjyske.

“We create enough chances for three or four football matches, but someone has to put them away,” FCM coach Mike Tullberg told TV MIDTVEST and TV 2 after the match. “Of course, it’s a match we have to win. We have to do that 19 times out of 20,” he continued. TV MIDTVEST

Prisoners can talk to their children through video calls

As something new, prisoners in one of the country's prisons can now talk to their children through video calls, according to Danmarks Fængsler (the organisation behind the country's prisons) in a press release. Thousands of children have a mother or father in prison, which can affect the relationship between the child and the imprisoned parent.

“The video calls are intended to help even more children maintain their relationship with their father or mother in prison, on their own terms,” says director Ina Eliasen. In Midt- og Vestjylland, the prison in Nørre Snede, in Ikast-Brande Kommune, has an open section with 75 places and a closed section with 85 places. The video calls are conducted from the prison on special screens that must be booked and used as for physical visits. TV MIDTVEST
