Reply to comment by catzszszsss in Tesla Agrees To Open Thousands Of Its Chargers To Other EVs By 2024 by 10MinsForUsername

I think the bigger reason most won't like it is that many chargers are constantly busy now - this is just going to make that problem worse.

I'm a current Tesla owner, looking to move to a different EV for my next car. Will now be looking for one that can charge nearly as rapidly as a Tesla.

This will only make that problem worse for Tesla owners, but better for all other EV owners.

We're very happy with our Hyundai Kona Electric. It's basically the perfect vehicle - for our use case. I emphasize that because everyone's needs are different. Overnight charging on regular house current in the garage has sufficed for the year we've had it.

Hyundai and Kia charge more rapidly if you have the right charging stations in your area. 18 minutes from dead to 80%

They are also planning on doubling their number of fast chargers. I suspect the ones they open to non-teslas will be the less crowded ones. They aren't opening them all up.
