Market incentives are why we have it at all.
Tesla fought against the legacy companies mocking them and most of the press lying about them for ten years. They pulled off a miracle and succeeded in spite of all that and now legacy companies that did nothing want to legislate their own mistake away? Fuck that.
If legacy car companies want to use the network tesla built they can pay them for the privilege.
The irony is I think tesla did offer them access under better terms and they refused (either out of spite or stupidity, I’m not sure).
There’s no way we would have the EV transition we have now (this early) without Tesla. I think there’s no way a government standard would have worked for building this up (one did exist, and I’d argue it didn’t work).
