There will be an increadible itch to fully control and trace the charging patterns and behaviours of both cars and individuals. I can refuel ICE car with petrol within 3 minutes paying cash and no loyalty card.
- theshrike79 5y agoCar makers either owning their own charging infrastructure (Tesla) or making deals with existing ones (VW Group) is the way forward. "Buy a car and get free charging for a year!" or credit for a specific network of chargers offers already exist in Europe. It's a win-win situation, the charging network gets ingrained in the users minds as "the place to go" and the car manufacturers get an extra sales boost for minimal cost.
