Comment on VW will invest up to $5 billion in Rivian as part of new EV joint venture
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 4 months agoI think very few people realize that it’s VW that built that infrastructure and the fact that major governments didn’t come together to set a changing standard is a separate issue.

Which to me is also a failure. Everyone knows the Tesla network is Tesla. And it’s hands down, better. People use Electrify America and have a bad experience (myself included) and they get mad at it. Even if they don’t know it’s tied to vw.
YouTubers and journalist talk about it and tie it to vw and suddenly your enthusiasts are panning vw for their garbage network.
It’s a lose lose for Volkswagen the way they did this.
