It's a crap shoot...don't buy the option and next year they all start popping up everywhere like weeds, and you are out of luck. Being on the leading edge has its problems and questions.
I understand all that. Ive owned an electric car for nearly three years and my i3 for two weeks. Also youre missing my point. That is to say - that since the BMW plug (new standard) chargers dont exist in this country currently they should supply me with an adaptor that works on the established network (Tesla Plug).

Tesla is the company that has actually put money into a DC network, so yes, Id like to be able to use the five superchargers that are on my route to and from work.
