Everyone knows that at some point non Tesla charging stations will catch up.

But I'm still surprised it has not happened yet.

Volkswagen is starting to sell lots of long distance capable EV like id.3 and id.4 (at least in Europe) with absolutely zero visible/working plan to provide their customer reliable fast charging everywhere they need (directly or via a partner network).

And Renault still hasn't made a car with more than 50 kW charging (and even that is a paying option...). Well at least their customer don't need long distance fast charging network ...

The plans are:

- Ionity in Europe: https://ionity.eu/

- Electrify America in the US: https://www.electrifyamerica.com/locate-charger/

- Electrify Canada in Canada: https://www.electrify-canada.ca/locate-charger/

And since these are CCS cars you can also use any other CCS charging network like Fastned, Gridserve, BP Pulse, Petro-Canada, Chargefox, EVgo, ChargePoint, Circle K, McDonald's, etc, etc.
