I am going to buy an electric car in 1-2 years so I have been doing some research and watching videos. Every non Tesla road-trip video I have seen has problems trying to charge because of infrastructure issues. Things like charger not working, working very slow, payment not working, etc…
Is the Tesla network that much better?
Don’t think you’ll get a useful answer years out.
Here in Denmark, 2 years ago, there were 336 individual Superchargers.
Meanwhile, we had 243 third-party DC fast chargers.
Fast-forward 2 years and we’re at around 430 Individual Superchargers, with another 36 currently on the way.
Meanwhile, the number of third-party DCFC has risen to barely 1400, with a couple of hundred on the way.
And that’s on top of the barely 14,000 public AC chargers.
So yeah, two years has been enough time for the charging infrastructure to triple and then some.
How many different charging apps do you have on your phone ? If you 85 year old grandma had to drive and EV and charge, which would you recommend for her ? The plethora of apps with dubious charger reliability or just any Tesla at any supercharger?
