“Greatly reducing transport’s CO2 emissions requires many measures, and clean electrification of transport will have to be one of them. Today’s deal is a damp squib that does nothing to bring that closer.”

“With its charging infrastructure, Tesla is using a proprietary system instead of an open system, which has not been proven to be a good way in the IT industry. To be able to quickly become a mass-market phenomena, electric mobility has to be based upon open standards. I need to be able to use any charging point in Europe, regardless of the connector. A proprietary connector is not really helping here.”
