    Right. Occasionally, regulation can speed up an industry by preventing this kind of thing. If that had happened, however, we would likely be stuck with the bulkier CCS chargers.

      its about interoperability and fairness. speeding it up is a nice bonus.

      how bulky chargers are is irrelevant. forcing manufactirers to standardize and interoperate is the point.

      i said nothing about how it should be regulated, only who should be managing the system. letting corpos do whatever they want is never the answer.
