I'm not sure how well they're doing there globally. There are about 200 fast charging locations in Ireland (mostly CCS/Chademo combo) and 1000 or so 22kW AC ones. Tesla supercharging stations? Two. (They also have a bunch of destination chargers, perhaps 20 or 30). I think they're doing worse in Ireland than in most European countries, but not THAT much worse, and of course the CCS infra in many countries is far better, too.
