Funny how this thread isn't getting the response like the Tesla Semi thread. I guess it's because we now know that a Tesla can indeed tow a travel trailer albeit not quite yet like a fossil fuel powered vehicle. It won't be long.

I dont see this happining anytime soon. All manafatures have diffrent charging stations. So , they will be propatary to there brand. Until its streamlined and they have the ability to charge all electric vehicals along with the infrastructure to do it, i dont see people racing to get electric TVs.

Sort of. Other than Tesla no manufacturer has their own charging standard. Tesla did theirs because at the time there was no standard that came anywhere close to the 250 KW that Tesla wanted. Chademo was on 50 kw and CCS didn’t exist.

Now every EV truck being developed is CCS compatible. Tesla is still TESLA but has adapters that make their vehicles compatible with CCS or Chademo depending on the region of the world you live. All public stations have both CCS and Chademo plugs. Some dealerships have only CCS or Chademo but these are not considered public stations and in fact are mostly locked up after hours. Many don’t work at all.

So no. Proprietary charging is not an obstacle to EV growth. The amount of fast charging stations still is but that is changing fast.
