Tesla wanted other companies to use their charging system which the other car companies replied hell no. I think what will happen is that there will be legislation for this exact problem of competing real estate which in turn means that whoever has the biggest network by then will have the upper hand. So Tesla will probably get the standard they want but they will also have to pay for a big part of the network too.
- rohit2412 8y agoYour so know that Europe and USA is moving to CCS standards, and Japan to chademo. Manufacturers are not competing on charging infrastructure, they are collaborating. Look up ionity and electrify America. Tesla instead went ahead and made their own proprietary standard. No loss in doing so, but it isn't the upper hand and ability to dictate a standard that you imply
- HeadsUpHigh 8y agoYea that could also be another option for manufacturers. At the end some sort of common standard needs to be defined and followed. I'd hate to scan for chargers that can charge my brand faster than others or something. Honestly independent charging stations would be the ideal way to distribute the wealth from this market( at least in interstates etc). Having the electricity company of the region sell power via the light poles on a city is a convenient option but one that takes away a lot of jobs and wealth distribution too.
- rohit2412 8y agoYou still have no idea after I told you to read up. Standards already exist and are followed, except by Tesla of course. Distribute the wealth by independent chargers? This is going to be another high investment and low margin business, where BP and shell roll out electric chargers instead of gas stations.
