Charging networks are a huge problem that may require regulation to fix. The hodgepodge of networks is awful. Tesla still has a big advantage here.

EV charging standardization in Europe has lead to good charger compatibility and more investment into and development of the EV infrastructure.

All brands of car can charge on all brands of charger as Nature intended. It's just better infrastructure.

Incompatible, brand exclusive charging stations are dumb infrastructure and no good for anyone.

That’s what I was talking about. Just pointing out that in this environment the one company that took it seriously had a huge advantage from doing so.

An open version of the Tesla system is now standardized as NACS and hopefully will take over. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
