I'm sorry I wasn't clear. There isn't a standard followed by everyone. I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I'm saying it's not being commonly followed everywhere.

- Symbiote 5y agoICE vehicles can run on diesel, compressed natural gas (CNG), liquified natural gas (LNG), liquified petroleum gas (LPG), and several grades of gasoline. A standard needn't be used by 100% of vehicles to be useful. Also, in Europe Tesla uses standard connectors on their superchargers — other vehicles can be plugged in, but they won't charge.
- jsight 5y ago+1, I actually think the push for "standardization" is premature. The most expensive parts are the transformers for meeting the cars voltage and amperage specs. Having multiple cables is far from impossible and not a major cost difference. Most already do it with CCS and CHAdeMO, and its easy to foresee them slowly replacing CHAdeMO plugs with something newer and better() at some point. () Yes, CCS is newer and better... but these stations already have those. They can't use two simultaneously, so having two CCS Cables with the same connector is usually (but not always) silly.
