> I'd like to pay attention to your manifesto on how CCS type 2 Combo is a bad thing when the European EV market is bigger than the North American market, when all brands of charger charge all brands of EV in Europe, when CCS type 2 Combo is deployed in many countries outside of Europe

Incumbency doesn’t imply a superior standard.

CCS2 is winning in Europe not because it’s better than NACS, but because a technocratic EU committee decided it would win, many years ago.



> Incumbency doesn’t imply a superior standard.

Superior results imply a superior standard. All brands of charger charging all brands of EV is a superior result. Anything less is substandard, backward, and primitive.


I think you confuse winning on merit with winning by regulatory mandate.

I prefer the former, you prefer the latter. Let’s agree to disagree. We clearly don’t have much intellectual common ground here.


> We clearly don’t have much intellectual common ground here.

There's nothing at all intellectual about your blanket denial of practical realities. You've been brainwashed. It's sad to see.

EVBox and Alpitronic have deployed 400 kW chargers. Repsol deployed 400 kW chargers 4 years ago. Nxu has a 700 kW CCS charger.

Look, here are all the links again. Have a read and a watch and try to break free of your brainwashing:
