This is going to have rollout worldwide after the pilot in Netherlands.
I see it more like: Tesla has good charging infrastructure and Tesla can scale chargers faster than cars (with cars production they are battery constrained).
If even Shell and BP are installing electric chargers at their gas stations to get a small cut of this market it's a no-brainer for Tesla
- hef19898 5y agoBP and Shell, along side any other company running chains of fuel stations, are perfectly placed to provide a charging infrastructure when they partner with local electricity utilities to get the power lines to their existing locations. If they do so is a different story so.
- capableweb 5y agoAlternatively, it's easier to implement something consistency across the world instead of special solutions for each country, and since Tesla's biggest market (probably) is Europe, they focus on Europe and implement whatever they need to implement there in other countries too. Who really knows the strategy behind their moves, but legislation forcing their hand certainly feels plausible. Which company wouldn't want to own a proprietary network of chargers all over the world and extract as much money as possible?
