Tesla has a lot to worry about, because you don't buy a charging infrastructure, you buy a CAR. And Tesla cars are mediocre and INCREDIBLY overpriced, as cars. On top of that, they're the most unreliable cars on the market at the moment (despite having EV's which in theory should be far more reliable than ICE's) and they have serious quality control and production consistency issues. Something that any other reputable manufacturer sorted out decades ago. Any premium manufacturer will make FAR better EV cars than Tesla once they start doing it, and they have started doing it. BMW will have 20+ fully electric models within 3-4 years, Audi and Mercedes are going in the same direction, not to mention all the other European manufacturers who have shown concepts and plans to make it work as well.
As far as the infrastructure goes...well...Europe is all set already. EU is spending billions on building totally new infrastructure ON top of the existing one. If you need data, EU has over 100,000 charging stations in total, and only 2100 of those are Tesla's superchargers. So....what exactly does Tesla offer that's so revolutionary? Other than S class priced cars that feel as cheap as an A-class?
