  Nah can’t have standards in the USA, let the market solve that and Canada just follows whatever the USA does for these things.

    In this case there is, it’s called the North American Charging Standard.! Granted, Tesla did name it that before it became a standard, but hey, at least it worked out in the end.

      It’s not a standard unless it’s made mandatory by the state, it’s just an agreement between manufacturers

        that is absolutely not true. most standards AREN’T mandated by law. ANSI is voluntary for example. USB is a standard that isn’t written into law, you get the picture

      We had a standard before that, it was called CCS. Musk changing the name of his charger doesn’t make it a defacto standard, no matter what the Muskites tell you.
