Tesla, fast charging and why it’s getting inconvenient for future EV drivers
- pedalpete 12y agoI don't know enough about the differences in the charging standards. Does Tesla just use a proprietary plug? Maybe we'll just see an adapter, much like international travel adapters, which will allow other EVs to plug into Tesla charging stations, and vice-versa. We likely have the room in an electric vehicle to carry around the adapter and any sort of device for regulating the power ratings of different systems. Is that correct?
- higherpurpose 12y agoI agree it's a concern, however, Musk has said before that he's willing to open up access to its supercharger network, if other manufacturers are willing to license it. I don't know if he will still do that, but considering his ultimate goal is to see electric cars in general succeed, and that he has a much less aggressive personality than Jobs had, it's probably going to happen.
