Actually, a standard has already emerged for North America (within the free market). It's CCS. I think Nissan has moved on from CHAdeMO for sales of new cars in NA. It's dead other than old vehicles, and Tesla adapters. Everyone else but Tesla (and their own proprietary network) is using CCS in new vehicles now.Chargers need a national standard, ASAP. The free market isn't some divine diety of perfection, it can be a damn mess a lot of the time. This is something that cries out for standardization, especially if the infrastructure bill goes through.
At some point Tesla will likely switch to CCS when the field laps them in volume many times over. But as long as they own their own network, it's irrelevant what they do anyway if they continue to limit it to Tesla customers only.
