Tesla chargers excluded.
I didn’t look up the numbers, but gonna guess most EVs gonna be Tesla. That charge at Tesla chargers.
- dymk 4y agoThey won't be, soon, as Tesla gets lapped by every other big car manuf ramping up production. Tesla chargers also aren't (yet) compatible with non-Teslas. They've said they'll be adopting the standard charger in the coming years, but haven't started yet.
- bfung 4y agoFor the record, I didn’t downvote you, and whomever did should at least say something, as the comments aren’t unreasonable. Debatable, yes, but not unreasonable. Anyways, the study omits Tesla chargers which has far more usage than non-Tesla chargers, I’ll go out on a limb to claim, as I’ve seen packed stations every other day, while driving past it in my own Tesla :p
- lokedhs 4y agoI'd expect most people to install a charger at home so you can charge overnight. Is this not done much in the US?
- snickerbockers 4y agoThis is about the bay area specifically, where it's nigh-impossible to own a home if you weren't born into the landed gentry.
- lokedhs 4y agoIf you're staying in an apartment, is it possible to install a charger in your car park?
- snickerbockers 4y agoWell, nothing's impossible but good luck convincing your landlord to spend money on a car charger that doesn't provide him any benefits.

- qmarchi 4y agoYes and no. Tesla destination chargers (Level 2 EVSEs) by default have a J1772 compatibility mode that allows other vehicles to communicate with it. Just have to get the right adapter. Superchargers however are still Tesla only in the US. Source: Polestar 2 owner, with adapter.
