No, the terrible mistake is to have incompatible charging infrastructure. All brands of EV charging network should charge all brands of EV. Anything less than that is a profoundly brain-dead outcome.
You can fuel any brand of ICE car at any brand of fueling station because the fuel is compatible and the fueling infrastructure is compatible. Standards make that possible. EVs need not and must not be any different.
Europe already has the benefit of standardising on CCS type 2 Combo for EV charging. And that means you can charge a BMW i4 on a Tesla charger, exactly as it should be:

Equally it means you can charge a Telsa on Ionity or FastNed or Circle K or GridServe or EnBW or McDonald's or BP or Shell or any other charging network.
North America doesn't deserve to be held back by primitive, incompatible EV infrastructure.
North America deserves compatible EV charging infrastructure for all EVs.
