Summary

Were you paying attention in 2014 when the EU issued a directive on EV charging infrastructure?

The directive became effective on January 1. It’s already speeding the creation of a huge European charging infrastructure with uniform standards.

Within a few years, Tesla will find that its so-called moat has become a prison wall.

Tesla’s headline charging rate may be higher, but LG cells in combination with CCS chargers will give EVs from Jaguar, Audi and other Tesla competitors an enormous advantage.

Why? Because (for instance) a Jaguar I-Pace will charge to 80% capacity far faster than will a Tesla. CCS charging is far better suited to the way most people drive.
