Not really true in newer models. The Tesla charger was adopted as the North American Charging System (NACS.) Pretty much every new EV made in the last 2 years uses it, and all of them will moving forward.
It was only very recently that other car brands started adopting Tesla’s ports. Probably most non-Tesla EVs won’t be found at a Tesla charging station.
With that said, is it really that uncommon for EV owners to not have a charger at home?
“You gotta recharge sometime”… You don’t think other brands do EVs?
Other brands have a universal charger, Tesla has a proprietary one
Solder that port
Why does that surprise me, actually?

I’m not in north America, I think for Europe IEC 92196 Typ 2 is the norm.
Ah that makes sense.
Even if they didn’t, you generally recharge in your house where hopefully not everyone can see your stuff.
