Your understanding of history is severely lacking.Yes I know about the “open patents” thing.
I blame Elon for this, I’m certain it’s a “hubris” thing that he won’t offer up the Tesla plug as a truly open standard with no strings attached. It’s a shame because the Tesla plug is so ergonomic.
Years before the "open patents" thing, Tesla was very active in the J-1772 and what became the CCS standards committee before either were standardized. They were odd-person out because they were pushing for 80 amp AC charging and 250 KW DC Fast charging using the same pins but the rest of the committee was pushing to dumb charging down, first to 16 amp AC, then to 50 KW DC to guarantee a place for an ICE in any car able to do road trips.
Had Tesla gotten their way, J-1772 would have been what is now NACS and there would be no CCS Frankenplug. Even better, the infant Tesla would not have had to spend that expensive early capital developing and deploying their own system just so their products would be viable EVs. Given that was the way their hand was forced, opening up their technology was a generous act that has been badly misconstrued. The big auto industry self-servingly interpreted the "open patents" thing as a sign of Tesla's desperation to get someone else to bail there charging system out. Now naive folks, ignorant of history, grouse about it being a 'walled garden'.
It's amazing and sad how apparently intelligent people completely miss the truth of history. Be careful or you may end up having to relive it.
