I remember the stock price doubling in a day after Biden took a visit to the new US factory.
Now that Tesla has announced its selling hardware to BP Pulse in the US, it will be intersting to see if Tesla has a clause in their contract that makes BP maintain the chargers to a level similar to the Supercharger network. My guess is they would have to sign a service agreement with Tesla to maintain the standard.
3 factors I think:
1) Maintenance arrangements, and availability of trained technicians
2) Manufacturer's supply of spare parts
3) How failure prone are the units
Tritium does poorly on 2 and 3. Most of us are aware of tritium chargers that have at times been offline for months awaiting parts.
Even 1 is somewhat within their control, in terms of training 3rd party technicians on how to repair their equipment.
They fail rarely from what I've seen and are handled like critical infrastructure when they do.
