It's a nice achievement by Nissan. I'm glad to see them staying committed to advancing the EV cause. It's silly to compare the Nissan quick-charge network with Tesla's (although I realize having the word Tesla in the headline increases clicks). Driving a Tesla means I only need to charge at home or on a road trip. That's because it has a real range of 200+ miles on the freeway, under all conditions. So, Tesla owners require far fewer charging stations. My LEAF is closer to 55+ miles of real range. Plus, in the U.S. when I want to QC at a NIssan dealership, I'm faced with the prospect that the dealer is closed and/or has some restriction about who can use the QC (some restrict to their customers). Tesla just completed a coast to coast trip in 3-days using only free Superchargers. I don't expect any sane person to bother with such a trip in their LEAF. The point of a QC network is to allow an EV owner to never need an ICE car. Tesla has achieved that. Nissan has a ways to go still.
