One thing that needs to happen if the EV revolution is going to be successful is all the public battery chargers need to be standardized so any EV brand vehicle can pull up to a battery charger and charge their vehicle like any ICE vehicle can pull up to a gas pump and refuel.
Tesla did ask other automakers to pitch in with $ when they built their SCharger network and none did.
Theres still time for big three to get together and build their own charging stations,but I doubt that will hapen.
Theyre all waitin for someone else to foot the bill imo.
VW is building Electrify America and Electrify Canada. They are open use. Tesla could make a lot of money selling power from its Superchargers but I guess they aren't interested in making EV's attractive to more people.
My guess is its Tesla way to make people buy only Tesla cars LOL
Of course but if someone isn't keen on a Tesla it makes them less likely to buy an EV. EV's won't go very far if people can't count on using all the charging facilities like they can gas stations.
