Very curious about what the breakdown of that 20% is by manufacturer. A friend of mine traded his i3 for a Model Y and said the experience has been like night and day. Access to Supercharger network is a game charger. No other fast charging network is really even close.

The study seems to be here[1]. Notably Tesla has the lowest discontinuation rate (9.6%) except for Cadilac which only three had vehicles in the survey.

Interesting.

You can fill the petrol vehicle at and filling station.

Can you get a adaptor to use a Tesla Supercharger on other cars?

You can charge a Tesla with a standard type-2 quick charger (if you have an adapter for the J-1772 or CCS cable), but you can't use the supercharger network to charge a non-tesla BEV, AFAIK.

What a hideous anti-community person Elon Musk is. This is in his control: He could be different, but he does not care.

The EU has mandated that Tesla Superchargers support the industry standard CCS adaptors and support non-Tesla manufactured charging (so long as non-Tesla owners pay for the charge as appropriate, of course). There's currently no political pressure at all in the US to regulate Tesla Superchargers and the game of competing charging networks is only really just getting started.
