Definitely need to have longer cables now and some parking etiquette. I don’t think it should roll out yet at very busy stations just yet until they figure out all of those other logistics. Overall though it’s going to be great to have a reliable charge network for everyone.
@nev cothen you ll have trouble with wiring stalls. Now they are preassembled 4 stalls on 1 base.
@Vincent Ouwehandeu teslas have diferent ports as in eu its standard. So tesla just add european one on other side
@Дмитрий Нова Actually if the stations would pull through then all cars with charging on the side would be just fine.
Ironically the way you say only Kia Niro EV has proper charging port CCS in front of the car. Nissan Leaf has Chademo and cannot use the chargers.
I guess you’ll need to carry an extension cable
@Noass Runcisbro exactly! these mfers with their arrogance. gtfoh.
We’ve had this for half a year in Norway, as Tesla opened up all their chargers for all EVs around september/october last year. It has worked well so far I’d say, but yes the “where do you park” issue has come up. Several stations have improved their layout though, so you can park at a charger “in any direction” so to say. So you don’t take up 2 spots at once.
@John vanDieken sorry, but looks like “Bit of a disaster” is common for UK 🙂
and European EVs are usually smaller than those US monster trucks , this is probably also helping %)
@Constantin Nescu The charging cables are a little bit longer. Also all EVs come with the same charging port, so you can charge basically anywhere.
Are the charging cables long enough ? I mean in Norway. Did they change them or how was the transition done ?
Norway is better placed than most of Europe or the UK – they thought this through long ago and were better prepared. UK is bad for non teslas blocking out bays and we are now seeing big queues for the first time ever. Bit of a disaster really.
It’s hilarious that Tesla’s non-optimized charging experience for non-Teslas is still 100x better than any non-Tesla charger.
I got something for you….
I really like this style of unscripted content. Feels so much more genuine
this was completely planned and clickbait, shame
Scam
I got something for you
Love that Marques is an overall nice guy! It was great seeing him talk about Tesla chargers now being open to non-Tesla EVs while also talking to and helping other people he randomly met there.
A lot of bots here
I loved how they were all just taking videos and charging there.

This definitely changes my perspective on possibly getting a BMW eDrive40. Very cool of you to give “State of Charge” a shout out as well 👍🏽
You want to sit around for an hour to get your batteriy from 30 to 80% makes no sense
Don’t get a BMW
bmw in 2023? you high?
*Could I use a Tesla account and a 3d printed adapter?*
*Would I have any unexepected constraints like spoofing the tesla wifi address on my phone?*
It IS so cool of him, respect for Marques 👏🩵
I love Tom. One of the best EV media guys out there
there will be challenges. i think the key takeaway is to roll out this option step by step with improvements along the way especially with the 4th gen chargers available now
If you had another 1000 mile challenge, this would certainly be interesting for the team that came last, due to them finding broken chargers, etc…
I honest love this channel and how you present it to your viewers. Vibing with the fact that you even connected with random normal day to day tech enthusiastic people as well to find out about their experiences with the Tesla supercharger
