Car companies like Honda, BMW, and Hyundai are banding together to build an EV-charging network bigger than Tesla's Supercharger empire::Tesla has been building out its Supercharger network for over a decade. Now legacy car companies are taking a page from Elon Musk's playbook.

It's ridiculous but it's not quite the same. There are adapter plugs to make all the systems cross-compatible. It means having to carry around adapters though.

Not quite the same because adaptors don't solve the charge rate problem. Rather than not finding your gasoline at all, it's more like if you don't find your preferred station, your gasoline will take 45 minutes to dispense instead of 3. Tesla Roadsters have been abandoned by Tesla and would take 30 hours for a full charge on 120v, worst case.
