In this episode of EV Musings, host Gary dives deep into the concept of "plug and charge" for electric vehicles. He explains how Tesla has mastered this seamless charging experience and why other networks are struggling to implement it. Gary discusses the technical, operational, and logistical challenges that prevent widespread adoption, including the need for standardized hardware, software, payment systems, and backend support. He also highlights the efforts of companies like Hubject in creating global standards and the cautious approach of UK charge point operators toward adopting plug and charge.
