White House: Tesla to make some EV chargers available to all
https://www.seattletimes.com/business/white-house-tesla-to-make-some-ev-chargers-available-to-all/
...
The plan will make at least 7,500 chargers from Tesla’s Supercharger
and Destination Charger network available to non-Tesla EVs by the end
of 2024, the White House said.
...
Tesla, General Motors, EVgo, Pilot, Hertz and other companies also
have agreed to expand their networks by thousands of public charging
ports in the next two years, using private funds and federal spending
from the infrastructure law, “putting the nation’s EV charging goals
even closer within reach,” the White House said.
...
While the White House said the Tesla network should be available
through use of a company app or website, an adaptor — or even a new
charger design — will likely be required for non-Tesla EVs, Abuelsamid
said.
There is a good recent YouTube Tesla blogger video I viewed yesterday.
As I recall, the takeaways were that Tesla can put in SuperCharger
stalls for $39k-$50k per stall while the BrandX chargers look to cost
$200k or more. Tesla can install several SuperCharger stalls for what a
single BrandX cost. He also made the point that availability on
SuperChargers is above 99% while BrandX is typically more like 80%. I
don't think BrandX has plans for more than 300kw on a single connection
while Tesla is supposed to soon be installing more "MegaChargers" which
are supposed to do 1mw.
On top of that, Tesla offers FAR more manageable connectors and
absolutely painless billing.
The video should not be hard to find but I'll find and post a URL if asked.
