There is regulatory risk in Tesla's charging network. The example with ICE fuel networks working is because they're heavily regulated - the type of fuel, octane rating, testing, bowser types. is all set by government bodies. I expect at some point the EU will step in and open up the Tesla network much in the same way they have with everything from regular fuelling stations to phone chargers.

> to phone chargers I can't wait the EU to force some standardized interop charging scheme designed by committee. Just like how they wanted everyone to use standard micro-usb. Can't fast charge, can't use the whole range of lightning accessories. But bureaucrats liked it! If you can't innovate, better regulate!

It's good, but not as good as the Tesla proprietary one. But the ship has sailed, CSS is the EU standard now and ChaDeMo is being phased out slowly.
