Tesla’s First Electric-Car 'Supercharger' Stations Now Live

.....and the battle of the standards is on. Will other EV makers be interested in adopting the standard of some small start up? Unlikely. Tesla could have really simplified the whole charging conundrum by following the Renault model of on board fastchargers rather than trying to set up its own network of proprietary fastchargers. All that would have been needed was a network of simple high output power sockets, no need for a standard. It's the sort of non-standard the industry might be willing to follow. Seems like a simpler approach than to set up a network that's only suitable for Tesla vehicles and will be obsolete anyway once better batteries require more than 120KW chargers.
