Elon Musk promises 100 percent Tesla Supercharger coverage in Europe next year

Entering into the seasonal spirit of giving, Elon Musk has promised a big present for Tesla owners: 100 percent Supercharger coverage in Europe by next year.

[...] While there’s no doubt that Tesla’s charging network has grown quickly in recent years, it’s worth remembering that Musk has a history of over-promising on exact expansion rates. As EV site Electrek notes, Tesla originally wanted to have 18,000 Superchargers up and running by the end of 2018, but currently falls well short of that goal with 11,853 chargers online at the time of publication. (It also missed a similar target in 2017, though by less of a margin.)

[...] Still, you can check out the full expanse of Tesla’s impressive Supercharger network here.

  My opinions are informed by the input of someone who grew up in a rural US village of 300, that was tens of kilometers from what could actually be called a town. She agrees with my statements completely. Perhaps that's because she had the brains to actually understand what I actually said.
