Can't understand why people have a problem with the price and call for a boycott.
Well first off, I'm personally not calling for a boycott. If given no choice, through lack of planning or otherwise, I'd use it in a heartbeat rather than call the AA.
The "problem" as you put it, is that BP, Shell and others are buying up the competition to remain relevant, then failing to actually deliver something better. There is a fine line between investing and cornering the market.
VS a Tesla supercharger network, it's costs, availability, ease of use etc. Shell does not compare. Even if every single Shell petrol station had one or two chargers, at that price and speed, it would not compare.
So the problem is that the end vision is already worse than an existing competitor, before even starting. And of course it's advertised as the best thing since sliced bread and as a result Shell and BP will save the planet...
They are actually hurting adoption by buying the competition and then implementing it poorly. It's also seen as a "success" because it's better than nothing...
