From the computer world: A simple standard like USB they said. Got us to USB-C.
I think it might be too early in the game to standardize the interface let alone the volumetric characteristics of car batteries. Do we require all battery connectors to be able to carry 1600 amps just to support Plaid?
- ChrisMarshallNY 4y agoVery good point. I'm starting to see a lot of non-Tesla EVs around. I saw my first F-150 Lightning, the other day, as well as a Hyundai Ioniq Electric, yesterday. But I am seeing a lot of Teslas. Part of it might be, because I live in a relatively affluent area.

- _carbyau_ 4y agoDepends where you put the intervention. While USB has issues, the EU basically standardising mobile phone chargers was brilliant. The bureaucrats shouldn't define a technical spec. They should define a social requirement and let the techs solve it best they can.
