I charge my Tesla at home and I love it. But I visited family over christmas and driving around in their Rivian I was reminded how absolutely shit non-tesla charging still is. I'm not at all surprised EV sales are dropping when charging is as awful as it is.
- bdcravens 3y agoI have a non-Tesla EV (Kia EV6). I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have gotten it if I didn't charge at home. (We've done a couple of long trips in it, including cross-country, but I had lower expectations of what the experience would be like)
- pengaru 3y agoDidn't I read in the news that Tesla had opened up its supercharger network to other brands?
- dangrossman 3y agoYes, but not in a way that benefits anyone immediately. They made deals with each individual brand (I think every US make except Stellantis now), in which those brands will start putting Tesla charging ports on the cars in future model years, and in some cases offer adapters to existing owners starting in 2024 or 2025. Each brand also needs to integrate with Tesla for payments in some way, since 99.9% of their charging stations don't have screens or payment terminals. The predictions I've read are that will mean new versions of each company's mobile apps, rather than having non-Tesla owners use Tesla's app.
