So about the charging stations. Is the end goal going to be charging stations all over your city for each car manufacturer? Or are they willing to copy Tesla's plug and make some kind of "charging alliance"? Tesla has released their patents[1] so this would appear possible.

- sliverstorm 10y agoMaybe you'll carry a bunch of plug adapters in the trunk, like with international travel.
- kuschku 10y ago> Tesla has released their patents[1] so this would appear possible. Tesla has released their patents in the same way Facebook or Google have: only if you in turn release all your patents to Tesla. No one will do that, and the actual solution will likely end up with the EU enforcing a standardized plug in one or two years time.
