Fair enough. I think that the gov’t should pick one charger + one adapter to be the standard (Tesla or not) and then it should be made the standard and every company should be able to produce that standard with a minimal fee going to the company that created it (minus any gov’t subsidies given to the creator in the first place).
Part of the problem is that the government did. The bill requires CCS chargers, but no one wants those anymore, since Ford, Rivian and others adopted NACS.
The Tesla charger adapter is going to be the standard in the US
The adapter doesn’t matter, the non-tesla chargers are harder to find, way less reliable, no where near as high powered, and basically unmaintained.
