Back in 2012, when Tesla introduced Model S, public chargers were almost nonexistent. Electric road trips were impractical, and the paucity of infrastructure was a major consumer objection to buying an EV (it still is). Frustrated with the slow pace of development of an EV fast charging standard, Tesla rolled out its own, and the rest is history. The Supercharger network is widely considered to be the gold standard of fast charging, and it has been a huge competitive advantage for Tesla.
