Comment on Toyota to adopt Tesla charger for North American EV models
cole@lemdro.id 1 year agoWhile I understand with what you’re saying, I personally believe that regulating standards during the early days of an industry is just asking for trouble.
It often isn’t until later on that we truly understand what we need out of a standard. This can take iterations and different approaches. I think it is too big a risk to potentially be hamstrung with a shitty solution later on

so the government should’ve mandated a closed protocol that wasn’t a standard?

The government should have sat down with manufacturers, telling them “Better come to the table cuz that’s where we’ll decide what the legal standard will be.” and come up with a solution instead of letting manufacturers do whatever they want until 8 standards came to be.

well, we’ll have to agree to disagree on that. I think it’s easy to say that with hindsight, but you don’t know where standards are needed when things are first getting going
