... surely reverse-engineering the Supercharger protocol will be nothing but a beauty...
As mentioned before, Tesla Supercharger technology is an open patent.
You can reverse-engineer it but that may cost much more.
It's cheaper if you can read a patent blue print and replicate it yourself quite easily.
By now you should know that it's just a matter of using an off-shelf technology such as your 10 kW on-board charger.
If you stack 12 of them, you get 120 kW Tesla Supercharger.
It's cheap. It's simple. It's easily accessible. But the Auto Industry doesn't want that because they say they can do better: a unified standard, one single plug, and much faster then Tesla Supercharger.
Sure! Talk is cheap! Look at their single plug:
1) J1772
2) CHAdeMO
3) CCS...
That's the Auto Industry version of single plug (for each version of course
