I blame the the people in charge for US standard for dragging their feet. Why they all didn't work together to make a world standard is beyond me.

I disagree.
The game is just starting. The market will find a standard not the governments.
Which standard is the best now? We don't know. It might be Tesla's. Who knows. Let the market decide.
Your right - the market will decide. The problem that could have been solved by governments working together is avoiding a whole bunch of people ending up with a Betamax!
SAE is a pvt industry body - not a government controlled board.

They should have seen this years ago. SAE and their European counterparts could have gotten together 5-10 years ago and worked on something. I understand that isn't really realistic but it would have been nice. Companies always want their standard or flavor of a plug to win and will push that over something that is made to work with everything.
Anyways, the CCS standards have been discussed at length in this thread already:

CHAdeMO is not Nissan's DC standard, it's a Japanese standard with a global automaker backing and over a decade's heritage.
I think the standard on charging will be set by whomever is first to gain significant market share.
Right now the de facto standard is a NEMA 14-50 due to its installed base at RV parks (etc) and the cheap availability of parts.
Which is actually fine by me. But there seems to be a strong desire to reinvent the wheel.
