    Why does it matter? The standard is now open and can be used by everyone. It’s just like CCS now from a usability pov but with many more chargers

      If anything, it was a major coup by Tesla to make their plug the standard when they have the largest existing charging network for that plug. Now they’re in a position of letting other networks catch up.

      This decision is bafflingly stupid. Is firing people the only way Musk can get hard anymore?

            It’s a headstart for a robust charging network while other charging station companies build more to catch up
