And we just can’t fuck with the sacred infrastructure here. The US government has run amok with cuckolds to their oil daddies.

Shows that T junk network is totally irrelevant, once EVs take off. Like in Germany, too. If the US and other countries want more stations, need to sell more EVs.
Ever used the BYD charge points? They're not that great.

In China not that I can remember. I mostly charge at home. Also never had a BYD, brand not appealing to me. Guess the earlier cars from them were just too cheap, but the HAN, I used a couple of times as an UBER are certainly much much better.

Charging I use southern power grid chargers and the new Zeekr chargers, all works no problem. I tried with my Taycan the VW network CAMS, but no luck. We tried two piles, even tried to call in, just could not get it going while an ID.4 was charging next to us. Frustrating.

Yeah we get BYD 120kW and now 160 KW chargers over here in network like InstaVolt.

The 120 kW units are current limited at 200A so you can never get anywhere near 120 kW in an everyday car like a Tesla.

The 160 kW units are a little better.
