No one has made a proper luxury EV yet, some have tried/gotten somewhat close but it will take the Germans to do it. I am betting Bentley will be the first.

No, seriously, the Google-map that Bitkahuna posted last night (post #6807) showed a number of Tesla-Grade chargers along or close to 66, 81, and 64. You won't see them all at first......you have to blow the map up and zero in on detail.

Fact is there is only one non Tesla high speed charger.

In an effort to address the charger-compatibility problem, more and more EVs, in the future, are likely to adopt the Tesla-spec charging-ports. GM, from what I understand, has already announced this.

This is true. But BMW has not. And last I checked, the i7 is made by BMW, not GM. So if Steve wants to buy an i7 in 2024, the availability of Tesla superchargers is irrelevant to him.

If I was interested in an EQS this wouldn’t trouble me because they will have access to superchargers in 2024.
I have a friend who has an iX he has had for a year and he loves it, but this is an issue when traveling. They took his iX to the outer banks on vacation and charged it at the house they rented, with a normal plug it took 9 days to charge lol. That would be me in WV with an i7…not gonna work lol.
But that shows you how much he loves that iX, they have a full size Range Rover also and he chose to take the iX with a kayak on the roof.

Saw an i7 today. Not a fan of all black, but it really has a presence. Looks substantial. And I really think it’s great that one can choose between a V8 or an electric powertrain, I would personally choose the V8. Too bad no V12.

I guess I'm the only one, but I'm a big fan of the restrained yet classic look of the A6 and A8. The new BMW 5's and 7's are much too fussy for me, and I think the 7's nose is a graceless block that belongs on a pickup truck.

also checked and there's a supercharger 5mi. n. of beckley.
of course that doesn't help with a bmw. in that case i'd pay to get a charger installed at your relative's home if they were up for it!

since EA was paid for by VW as part of dieselgate settlement, perhaps they weren't really committed to it. however, hopefully its reliability will improve a lot soon.
