Comment on Toyota to adopt Tesla charger for North American EV models

  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

        My point is that at any time a manufacturer can just go “Fuck them, I’m creating my own interface” for this reason, the standard isn’t mandated by law! Case in point: Apple

    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.

      No, but the majority of carmakes adopting it does.
