Interesting article from Transport Evolved on yesterday's comments by Elon Musk;
“I’m kind of planning on doing something fairly significant on that front which would be kind of controversial with respect to Tesla’s patents,” he finally said. “But I want to write something so that I can articulate it properly and explain the reasoning for the decision.”
Musk was careful to avoid saying anything else, moving swiftly on to other questions, but we’re curious as to what exactly he meant by “controversial.” One possibility is that Musk will release Tesla Supercharger patents, allowing other automakers and infrastructure providers to adopt Tesla’s ultra-fast 130 kilowatt supercharger technology in order to make rapid charging of longer-range electric cars quick and easy.
