To be clear, this total includes hybrids.

Don’t say that as criticism but the headlines around BYD get really confusing about this when talking about BEV sales/adoption rates.

At this point I would just leave Sweden entirely if I were Tesla.

It’s a population less than half the size of Florida. How many Teslas are they going to buy and is it worth letting the union camels nose under the Tesla tent?

People do weird things in general. This weekend I stopped at a 65 station V3 that was about half full to charge….the smaller V2 station a few blocks away had a line. Like WTF people, you can see on your screen in the damn car there’s 20 open V3 spots walking distance from you, why are you waiting in line?

The only right answer

Good on you for helping a new EV owner get started!

Though I am always shocked at how little research people do before spending tens of thousands of dollars on something like a car. I was supercharging on a road trip about a month ago and an Ioniq 5 pulled up and a very confused driver was trying to put the NACS into his CCS port.

Me and another driver jumped out of our cars to help the Ioniq owner out and pointed toward a nearby EA station.

Still I’m just so surprised the basic level of how to fuel your $50k car just never got a google by some folks lol.

It seems non-Tesla charger reliability/availability is very regional dependent. It sounds like the coasts have decent coverage but the middle of the country can be a crap shoot.

I suspect this is why we see Colorado (Out of Spec) and Michigan (Other half of Motor Trend office) based EV reviewers being the loudest about charging reliability problems where as the coastal based reviewers complain about charging congestion.

If you drive a Mercedes it displays in the car like a supercharger for a Tesla.

For non-Mercedes is probably shows up in the ChargePoint app.

However for most people they will not be price sensitive as nearly all their charging is done cheaply at home with Fast charging just used for roadtrips when speed/convenience is the priority.
