Tesla will open thousands of its chargers for use with any EV, White House says

NPR  

Tesla will open thousands of its chargers for use with any EV, White House says The White House says Tesla will open thousands of its proprietary chargers up to be used by any EV driver. There's the risk of losing customers who are like, well, hey; maybe I don't need a Tesla for my next vehicle because I can still use the chargers or the risk that the Superchargers might get too crowded. SHAPIRO: Why was the White House so focused on getting Tesla to open up these chargers? They built chargers all over the country, including places where they aren't used very much because they wanted people to feel like if they bought a Tesla, they could go anywhere.
