    Bollinger Asks Tesla If It Can Use Superchargers

    Remember when Elon Musk said he'd be open to the idea of other automakers using the Supercharger network? Guess someone finally took him up on that offer. Should be interesting to see what happens, and how much more value that would give Bollinger's EV if you have access to a built out and ever expanding charging network.

    Obviously it won't be free, but I wonder how much cost it'll add to each Bollinger too if this does happen. Even early Model S owners had to pay a hefty sum to have access to them before Tesla made them standard and baked the cost into the car.

    i suspect a large investment in future superchargers might do the trick. if you want to get in the game, you has to pay your dues.

    There may be a Tesla requirement first. Like building a few dozen cars 1st or something like that. How costly would that be even if this new company gets amazingly two or three thousand Vehicles only.
