Aren't there ways to use adapters for increased compatibility?
I don't see why companies wouldn't want to partner with Tesla, especially now that they have a significant number of charging stations and I don't think they charge a licensing fee for companies using their plug design.
- sp332 12y agoTesla already sells a SAE J1772 adapter, but it's $750 http://shop.teslamotors.com/products/j1772-connector http://shop.teslamotors.com/products/j1772-connector
- dm2 12y agoThat's for the Roadster, the Model S version is only $95: http://shop.teslamotors.com/collections/model-s-charging-adapters/products/sae-j1772 http://shop.teslamotors.com/collections/model-s-charging-ada... The BMW vehicle would need the adapter to go the other way though, and apparently the cost can be reasonable. There's no reason why the j1772 to whatever the supercharger connection is should be greater than ~$100.
