Part 6/11:
A recurring discussion in the EV space concerns charging standards and infrastructure compatibility across different regions. Musk and industry analysts like Sandy Monroe are increasingly advocating for the universal adoption of Tesla's proprietary charging system, citing its superior functionality and convenience over the existing European and other regional standards.
Monroe pointed out the inefficiencies associated with traditional plugs, referring to European designs as "heavy" and "inefficient," and cautioned that many automakers are still tied to outdated systems. He predicted that automakers such as Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, and Honda are likely to adopt Tesla's charging technology eventually—a move seen as inevitable given Tesla's competitive edge and the industry's current trajectory.
