- mahkeiro 6y agoIt's almost certain that one brand charging station are going to be forbidden soon in Europe, as it is going to create a huge mess. Try to imagine if the gas station were only able to serve one brand...
- speedgoose 6y agoYes Tesla should open its chargers to everyone before they are forced to do so. I know some Tesla owners like the exclusivity but I think it will benefit the brand more to open the chargers.
- esyir 6y agoI don't see how. "yes, we can now subsidise our competitors?"
- vel0city 6y agoI mean, they can still charge the owners of non-Tesla cars. They should be operating the charging stations to sell charging, not to have an anti-competitive edge on the market.
- speedgoose 6y agoIf the experience at a Tesla charger is great, price is good, speed it good, you may be more interested into buying a Tesla. If Tesla chargers continue to be only exclusive to one brand and take so much space in the parking lots on the motorway, not as much. Ionity has a different pricing model for cars made by brands member of Ionity and other brands.
