That really doesn’t explain all of it, J1772 is not really that big. CCS adds a ton of bulk on top of J1772.

- gwbas1c 4y agoWhy keep the J1772 connector? Only the data pins are used. I'm sure there's a way to make a connector that's just the CCS part and fudge the data pins into it. Then supporting the old cars just happens with a dongle.
- Dylan16807 4y agoDon't ask me that, I'm just answering why the decision to keep it caused such a huge connector.
