Executive order to make it illegal to trade in or sell Teslas coming any minute.
And then kill their charger standards. Fuck their licensing fees
Are you talking about the charging port (NACS)?
If so, it tells me you likely have never used an EV extensively in North America. CCS1 is complete ass and NACS rocks it in basically every way.
And to be fair, last I checked there wasn’t any licensing fees.
Yea I think within the last year or so the fee was removed.
No, that was almost a decade ago.
It's not the connector that's the problem with EA stations and the like, it's the total absence of maintenance. I for one appreciate CCS1 and J1772's simplicity of implementation. NACS was designed by a marketing team which means far more complexity behind the scenes. They've done well keeping their stations running but the pins and sockets only matter for the sales brochure.
CCS1 is HUGE and heavy, already causing issues wearing out charge ports.
I'm sure people could imement it nicer but NACS' form factor is just plain better.
It’s an open SAE standard now. No licensing fees.

Article doesn’t even say what the data shows. Did it go from 1000 cars per month to 1001 cars per month? Did it go from 10 cars per month to 1000 cars per month? Because some scenarios are more noteworthy than others.
Seems to be only California Teslas for now.
Time to start calling it Fashla.
I think "Tesler" is pretty good already.
Rhymes with Esler, Georg Esler. Tried to assassinate Hitler.
It's called Swasticar for a reason ;)
For what? TL; DR.
Other EVs
BYD? What else is available in the USafA?
Rivian, Hyundai Ioniq, Mustang Mach-E, Polestar, Electric Ford F150
ive seen a ton of people get ioniq, my parents got one leased, i dont like the sunroof that much.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a good car for the price. I see them quite a lot too.
its leased to my parent right now.
Pick a manufacturer. They all make models now.
Not all of the manufacturers are available in the USA though.
The only BYDs available in the USA are busses, trucks and forklifts. No cars unfortunately. Same with all the other Chinese brands like MG - none of them are available in the USA.
Most of the Japanese, South Korean, and German EV brands are available in the USA, in addition to American brands of course. Ford, Kia, Hyundai, VW, BMW, Audi, Cadillac, Chevy, Dodge, Genesis, Honda, and probably others I'm forgetting.
Skoda and if you're fancy Porsche?
It's annoying that it says "data from Edmunds published on Thursday" but doesn't link to the data.
This world wide web has gotten a lot less webby over time as each page tries its damnedest not to give you options to go anywhere else.
Anecdotally, my neighbor two doors down is trying to sell his. No takers yet.
