> Better EV infrastructure is required. First of all, better infrastructure doesn't just mean faster chargers. Second, Tesla is a private company that want to make profit. Developing better infrastructure is not their primary goal. Tesla builds its own charger for its own network that charges cars that they know. They don't need to sell superchargers to other networks or costumers. Tesla has the technical capability of building 400kw charges, they build even faster charger for the Semi. But it just doesn't strategically make sense to build those kinds of chargers. Take make about 3000 DC Fast Chargers per Quarter, they will upgrade those to 350kw/h at some point, and then higher then that eventually. But only if they can continue to build and deploy 3000 or more of them per quarter. The 'how many per Quarter' is actually the import number. |

It means faster chargers and more. Not point in defending mediocrity.
Mercedes has 400 kW chargers: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a45847770/mercedes-chargep...
Gravity has 500 kW chargers: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/gravit...
North America's EV infrastructure is slowly improving.
> Second, Tesla is a private company
No, it's a public company.
> Tesla builds its own charger for its own network that charges cars that they know.
They've been charging all brands in Europe for a long time now.
> They don't need to sell superchargers to other networks or costumers.
But that's exactly what they are doing. Not even Tesla agrees with you.
