About Supercharger
The Supercharger network was built because no adequate public charging existed, and its connector has since been adopted as a North American standard by most competing manufacturers, turning a proprietary advantage into an industry norm. Opening it to rivals came with the connector being standardised as the North American Charging Standard, which regulators and competitors had pressed for.
