> working with Tesla to ensure your vehicles are permitted to charge at SuperChargers

Permitted is a funny perspective. You should be demanding compatibility in charging infrastructure.

Incompatible infrastructure makes EVs worse than ICE vehicles. All brands of charger must charge all brands of EV, just as all brands of fuel station fuel all brands of ICE vehicle. Anything less is backward and primitive.

Europe sorted this out a long time ago. Slowly North America is getting there by standardizing on CCS with the J3400 plug.




This very thing is something that just shows me how not serious "the country" is about EV. Could you imagine the uproar if you had to go to a Ford fueling station but could not go there if you had a Chevy? There would be rioting in the streets.

bigAuto and bigOil are just sitting back laughing at the entire situation.
