I’m glad they plan on having both major charging plugs on the stations. But, this would be an ok time for some government regulation to dictate a plug format nationwide. Not having to worry about whether you will be able to charge your vehicle at a charging station would make the experience less stressful for new EV owners.
Agreed. Only took the EU a couple decades to tell cellphone manufacturers (Apple) to use a standard plug.
To be fair, it's been far less than a decade since a non shitty standard plug came out.
to be fair, they did quite well with micro-USB
Who uses a charger other than type2/ccs nowadays?
There were some Japanese manufacturers still selling cars with CHAdeMO the last time I checked. But they may have switched over by now, that was a couple years ago.
