#GeneralMotors annuncia che adotterà la presa #Tesla #charging connector, pardon la #NACS, North American Charging Standard.

Come nota Jaan of the #EVUniverse @TheEVuniverse

Il Tesla Supercharging Network negli USA ora è aperto all'80% di tutte le #EV vendute l'altr'anno.

Già caricava il 66,9% del mercato totale di #autoelettrica, le Tesla.

8,1% del mercato si aggiunge con l'accordo con #Ford deal.
5,1% lo porta #GM

Ma *NON* è un #chargingnetwork pubblico, a differenza del #ccs

I do not really follow automaker business financials and plans closely (not being an investor in anything), but hopefully, this joint #GM-Pilot-#EVGo #ChargingNetwork gets built as previously planned.

Such locations seem to really check a lot of boxes for consumers, perhaps uniquely so.

Safe, well-lit, good 24/7 amenities and good locations next to major highway exits.

And a consistent customer experience, possibly.

GM and Pilot Company to Build Out Coast-to-Coast EV Fast Charging Network

To accelerate the widespread adoption of EVs, increase access to charging and help enable long-distance electric travel of people and vehicles across the U.S., GM and Pilot Company (Pilot and Flying J) are collaborating on a national DC fast charging network that will be installed, operated and maintained by EVgo through its eXtend offering.

To Tesla's charging network some aspire
To own another EV they desire
If they had access
It wouldn't be a mess
But Tesla's edge puts rivals at a higher tire

Tesla just gave away one of its biggest advantages in EV race

“Why do you love gasoline so much?”
-dude who missed the point

It does no good to hawk a product that sucks just because. For the vast majority of people who #motorcycle - they do so specifically to _get away_ from the places where #EV chargers currently exist.

Electric #motorcycles need more range and the #ChargingNetwork needs to be built out more.

Even gas bikes can struggle with fuel range in some remote areas. I am pro #electric vehicle!

Tesla finally agrees to open its charging network to all EVs in US

Biden announced new rules today to standardize America's EV-charging experience.

#EV related question. I pick up a new Kia EV in January. I would like to visit parts of Europe I have only walked around virtually during the pandemic (quick shout out to Stefan of #ProWalk4K on YouTube).
Does anyone know how good the #chargingnetwork is in Belgium, East France, Italy?
Also what best app/apps would be to find charging points. I will have Kia Connect so that may be enough but I like the back up of something like the ZapMap I use in U.K.
