Seems like many superchargers are already overcrowded with Teslas alone in my experience, so this will reduce the appeal of Teslas. The biggest advantage Tesla has and the main reason I chose it is due to its dedicated charging infrastructure which is way better than other systems.
- poxrud 4y agoAgreed. I would love to switch to another electric car but the lack of a public country wide charging network (in Canada) leaves me with no alternatives.
- noodle 4y agoI agree with this point, though at least in theory this is a path for them to get more $ and therefore expand the network further/faster, also potentially increasing the size of the moat. We'll see if they actually do that, though, I guess.
- rtkwe 4y agoYou still get the way better integration between chargers and car. One of the big benefits I've seen on in the "we took a road trip in these N different electric cars" genre of videos is that Tesla's navigation knows how many cars are there and the status of the chargers where other cars can get nearly stranded if you try to stretch to reach a charging point only to find it's broken with no indication it wouldn't work before you get there.
- vel0city 4y agoIts OK, originally Tesla said they were going to open their chargers up by the end of 2022, then end of 2023, and now its end of 2024. It'll be a long time before any CCS cars are charging at Superchargers at this rate.
