And Elon states quite openly:

The Supercharger station uses proprietary technology developed around the Model S and future Tesla vehicles. It would be "difficult to make this generic" so that it could be used on other electric cars from other manufacturers, he said.

But Musk said he is "open to the idea" of sharing Tesla's charging technology with a major automaker.

"The other manufacturers can either copy us or join us," he told reporters.
