No im referring to network. All gas pumps provide the same experience. But when you have all these different chargers, they provide wildly different experiences. Some charge fast, some charge slow, many are broken. You can’t have an infrastructure that is inconsistent. On top of that, you need a variety of different apps to handle them all. Which is a huge pain in the ass.
None of these problems exist with gas stations.

If bmw came out and said, we are going to build out the supercharger network, but use the existing chargers but they run it and such, that would be similar to the way gas works.
