Ok, but taking two years to come up with a big document of standards while Tesla was able to just do all that by themselves and then build more chargers for less is kind of the issue. I appreciate that it's not easy, but the not-easiness is the problem.
- jauntywundrkind 2y agoTesla though has had to pair partner by partner with every other car maker who wants to use their network. Deals have to be cut to figure out how payments are gonna work with each manufacturer's car/app. Tesla also has been operating on chargers for years! They took their own sweet time we just don't think about the first years! Tesla never built standards. They just made something that sort of worked for them. That sort of somewhat helped some specific consumers find chargers, albeit with not enough status available to know what to expect when you got there. None of that is at all good enough for actual infrastructure the world needs to be able to depend on. "Works for my car" isn't how gasoline works, and it's not how ev charging is gonna ever succeed.

From Tesla's own website: "NACS was originally developed by Tesla, deployed in 2012 with the first Supercharger and Model S vehicle and eventually published by Tesla in 2022 with the goal of industry-wide adoption." https://www.tesla.com/support/charging/supercharging-other-evs#sae-j3400 https://www.tesla.com/support/charging/supercharging-other-e...
