When the other cars do move to the NACS charger, it'll put everyone on a much more level playing field; that said,

They're doing fine enough building their own network--they actually don't seem interested in expanding as aggressively, given the fact they laid off their entire Supercharger team and only rehired a portion back.
Same here on the reason that I bought it, though I only rented Tesla's from Hertz and no other EVs. I almost rented a Bolt one time, but when the nav map didn't show charger locations, I declined, knowing that I would have issues charging later. I work in North Jersey and in the last few weeks, they opened a Supercharger station with 40 units!!! I had never seen one that big before. It is within a mile of another one that has 8, though occasionally that one gets full. I assume this was done for the future with everyone else being able to charge. The units were black instead of white, but still at 250kw.
