    Disclaimer: Tesla Owner

    I’m thrilled this is happening - the more everyone standardizes on a single connector, the better it will be for all EV owners.

    Yes, this does mean that superchargers will be an even hotter commodity if everyone can use them, and in the short term, extra lineups - but that should just mean additional chargers are built to service the increased demand (why wouldn’t it?).

    I suspect that if the demand gets heavy enough, at least for Telsa-built superchargers, a reservation system will be put in-place, maybe one that prioritized nearly empty batteries, and perhaps also prioritizing people with lots of milage logged in a short time, or who are “far” from home (ie: people who are road-tripping).

    All of this should help service the antiquated range-anxiety that non-EV owners tend to have.
