In europe most the cars don't support proper (>100kW) fast charging, and even those that do have a myraid of incompatible standards.



Which is odd! Tesla has covered most of Europe with Superchargers, and supports 250kw charge rates in many locations. Curious why other automakers don’t support higher charge rates.

I’m enjoying the schadenfreude.


Good :)


On the other hand most of the cars have a smaller battery than a Model S, which works the other way (eg a Model 3 SR charges in about half those times).

Haven't EVs outside of China basically standardised on either CCS2 or CHaDeMo? (it's also pretty easy for a charger to support both).
