    Agreed but a lot of charging networks really could hire some talent out of Tesla just to work on their UI and other uptime measures. Even if they don’t deploy more stations, just getting their existing stations running well would be such a coup. Once folks have the reliability of Tesla chargers at all other chargers, it’s really quite impressive how many chargers we have already.

      No I agree with GP here. The way problem has always been they expected to do it on the cheap because of low profit percentage. It’s not just that they don’t know how to build a good ui or a reputable product: it’s that they never see the need to invest there. Why would that change now?

      I don’t know if Tesla superchargers are a profitable or close to it, but they clearly benefitted by Tesla being willing to spend enough to do the job right
