    Again with the FUD. Where are you getting this from? Every charging station I've turned up at in my Tesla I've been able to charge.

    Tesla have even opened up some of their superchargers to other brands (albeit it at a slightly higher kWh price).

    There seem to be a couple of different charging port standards, but all of the chargers I've turned up to have had multiple connection types.
    And the lord said unto John; "come forth and receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.

      I've had an EV for a few months, and I haven't had that problem. I.e. every charging spot has had a compatible charger. There have been Tesla banks at motorway service stations that I couldn't use, but then there were "normal" chargers nearby.

      With the petrol station analogy, it might be more like finding that they only have diesel but they've run out of unleaded (or vice-versa).

            Would you just like to say "In my opinion I think he's incorrect" rather than attempting to malign his character and besmirch his integrity?

            He paid his own money for a Diesel RR Sport rather than buy the Hybrid or EV equivalent - maybe that should tell you something.

                  I guess that conclusion depends upon one's view of the world

                  he certainly seems to be a content numpty

                    I'm sure he will be saddened that such a respected expert as you doesn't appreciate his view.

                      I think HM is otherwise engaged, currently crying into his porridge after WTFH's scathing attack which was somewhat akin to being savaged by a demented Teddy Ruxpin with flat batteries.
