Tesla Locks Other EVs Out of Its ‘Supercharger’ Walled Garden

[jesseps]

If you’re a Model S owner, you’ve just been granted access to six of Tesla’s “Supercharger” stationssprinkled throughout California. And if you’re not an EV driver who doesn’t have a Model S in your driveway, well, Tesla has no juice for you.Each solar-powered high-speed charging dock can provide about three hours of highway driving range in just 30 minutes, but there is a big, big, big catch: The stations are only compatible with Model S sedans packing the 85 kilowatt-hour — and, when it’s eventually available, the 60 kWh — battery pack. Everyone else? Move along. Nothing for you here.

Tesla going to have their Supercharger stations in Canada by 2015/16. I have a feeling, when there will be more electric vehicles on the road, we might be seeing Hydro-Quebec stations.

True, but last time I checked many months back they only have a few stations on the island.
