For the unplated copper, doesn’t the low resistance come from sacrificing a bit of the material each insertion? I know this is the case for most other high powered plugs.
Also, much of your concerns are addressed in the charging system. There are sanity checks in place, with initial and continuous resistance measurement. It’s not just a relay flipping. So, welding together in 16ms is impossible. Maybe a bit longer than that. ;) Plastic melting together definitely is though.

- nomel 4y agoThe control protocol spec wouldn't be part of the physical connector spec, other than setting some minimum requirements so the connector meets the control protocols assumptions. The control protocol is, necessarily as your concerns point out, made so that things like resistance, water, dirt, and bad connections, all things that are expected states of connectors, don't pose a significant safety hazard.
