While I am not against it, I am sorry to see that it appears we are creating a de-facto charging monopoly. If Tesla opened the standard for 3rd party stations I would be all on board.

For what it’s worth, all of the technical specifications are open and published by Tesla. I believe they a design patent, but that they’ve committed to open use of it as with their other patents.

On the upside, patents have an expiry date. Quite far from now, but if we make it to that, then we’ll just have ourselves a single common standard that everyone is free to use.

It just sucks in the meantime.
