"You gotta recharge sometime"... You don't think other brands do EVs?

Other brands have a universal charger, Tesla has a proprietary one

Why does that surprise me, actually?

Not really true in newer models. The Tesla charger was adopted as the North American Charging System (NACS.) Pretty much every new EV made in the last 2 years uses it, and all of them will moving forward.

I'm not in north America, I think for Europe IEC 92196 Typ 2 is the norm.

Ah that makes sense.

Solder that port

Even if they didn't, you generally recharge in your house where hopefully not everyone can see your stuff.

It was only very recently that other car brands started adopting Tesla's ports. Probably most non-Tesla EVs won't be found at a Tesla charging station.

With that said, is it really that uncommon for EV owners to not have a charger at home?
