Technology ConnectionsOh hey look, another charging network in the works that's open to all EVs. Weird what can happen when there's a real charging standard that every* automaker agrees on.
*except That One
It's going to be so lovely to have all this competition and choice in charging providers.
The Betamaxing of the Tesla connector is well underway. Don't say I didn't tell you because I've been telling you for ages!
Bubbles be a poppin'
Though I will say the absolute *weirdest* aspect of this, to me, is that at least here in the US, none of the big oil companies are pushing any sort of charging plans. It's always automakers partnering with the likes of ChargePoint.
My guess is that while you would think they would want to leverage the infrastructure of today's gas stations, they don't actually own them and the required investments are far too expensive for franchisees
elle mundy@TechConnectify my thought is oil companies are fine with this because most electricity in the US is still oil-based
