The problem is teslas. Better designers have non-engine reliant heating systems, that you can use to warm your battery enough to hold a charge, so it can run your engine and keep itself warm.

Teslas dont have this. So when they go cold, they are stuck cold.

You dont need to redesign the charging infrastructure to cater to the poorly designed car. You need to fix the shit car.

Huh? Tesla scvanges heat from all over the car https://youtu.be/Dujr3DRkpDU

And a Tesla is more than capable of charging when left out in the cold and not preconditioned (although it was initially very slow) https://youtu.be/i-c8AUeKs5c
