> It’s unreasonable to dump the costs onto others out of ideology. You think compatible infrastructure is ideologically driven? It is not. It is driven by pure practicality. What, you think every appliance in your home should require incompatible sockets? You think every road should only be compatible with particular brands of cars? You think mobile phones should use incompatible communications so a phone is stranded on a particular network? Such things are beyond dumb and are wasteful. Both the articles you linked to are from three years ago when there were fewer EVs on the road. There are still few EVs on the road relative to other cars. You're not thinking long term. Your claims don't match the reality that small charging networks like FastNed are growing and expanding: https://fastnedcharging.com/en/locations https://fastnedcharging.com/en/locations Or the reality that supermarket chains are putting in chargers which are faster than anything Tesla currently offers: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/business-electric-vehicles/lidl-opens-first-cut-price-ev-charging-station-france https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/business-electric-vehicle... These things are possible because Europe has a common charging standard. Common infrastructure standards drive investment and development.
