Musk also said the company, named for inventor Nikola Tesla, is willing to let electric vehicles from other automakers use its supercharger network. “There would have to be some compensation” for Tesla to allow that, he said, without elaborating. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-06-05/musk-says-tesla-s-gross-margin-can-approach-porsche-over-time-.html?cmpid=yhoo I think this is an interesting bit of information. Supercharging is proprietary and the technology is high voltage/dangerous (remember Dreamliner battery fires, electricity can be messy) so we can't know exactly how other automakers would integrate with the supercharger network. But it's cool to hear Tesla is open to it. | ||

That is something I think has more future than the Tesla idea currently has. http://www.euronews.com/2013/06/05/new-technology-can-charge-full-sized-bus-during-15-second-stop/ So, a range of 1-2 miles for every 10s charge. or 5-10 miles for a 5 minute charge. | ||
