+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.
