There's about 10K supercharging stations in the US. There's amount 168K gas stations. The amount of super chargers is probably about the same as the measurement error for the 168K estimate.
- greglindahl 8y agoSorry, what's the purpose of this comment? Tesla has < 1% market share today, so it's hard to imagine why there would be a large number of superchargers today relative to gas stations.
- syntaxing 8y agoBecause the electric car market share will remain as it is without the intervention of the government (in the US). There is no way a single private company can overwhelm the whole gas car industry in its current state. The point of my comment is that the supercharger network is not adequate for the mass adoption of electric cars. The government will need to do more to incentive the growth of the infrastructure.
