Reminds me of Microsoft. Innovative company, but commercially vicious.

"It is not enough to win. You must make others fail." (a quote from a WWF wrestler I seem to recall!)

Not a massive surprise to me, and par for the course from what I've seen over the years.

That they are bullying, or that they are being accused of it?

And by using "massive", does that imply that you are a bit surprised?

It doesn't seem that we know the whole story here.

It would appear that Ecotricity has some sort of exclusive arrangement which is preventing Tesla from installing Superchargers in optimal Motorway locations. I would not expect Tesla to simply let this stand without a fight.

I seriously doubt Tesla would undertake an effort to remove anyone else's EV charging infrastructure. This would be bad for EVs, and of course extremely bad PR. Most likely, Ecotricity is whining because they are being upstaged. Hopefully we'll learn more.

if companies are fighting to put in charging stations for ev's; then, I as an EV owner, am very happy.
Times sure have changed in the past 3 years
