Hahah people hide car2go's? Are there news stories on this?
Also, regarding Supercharging, not nearly enough credit being given to Tesla for how good they are.
Quote:
Tesla's Supercharging technology is the fastest DC charging standard in the world right now, and is a key strategic benefit for its vehicles. While the company uses a proprietary port standard, Tesla has always maintained that it is open to sharing the network, provided that other OEMs help share the costs (proportionate to their expected usage), and that the vehicles can withstand the current.
During a presentation last year, Tesla CTO JB Straubel noted that, because Superchargers are so far ahead of other charging technologies, there would be a "negative lead time" associated with becoming interoperable with other standards. Tesla would have to wait for everyone else to catch up.
Niemand (Audi exec) concluded, "I hate to admit it, but Tesla did everything right."
