Why petrol has one interface similar for all cars and electricity has same interface for all buildings but somehow car charging became many different interfaces

Why petrol has one interface similar for all cars and electricity has same interface for all buildings but somehow car charging became many different interfaces? They should standardise it the same way they did for charging cables in Europe.
- iknowstuff 3y agomostly because CCS1 is fucking ridiculous. But also have you ever actually been to a gas station? Have you not seen the three or four nozzles for diesel, pb free 95, 98 and whatever other upsell?

And that's not dealing with anything terribly esoteric, like 3 phase, generators, or industrial equipment. Petrol has several interfaces as well: diesel and unleaded are slightly different, and leaded is different again.

- eimrine 3y agoAny electricity standard is doomed to be endataned (digitalized, certificatenizated, turned to requiring to run some non-free applications in order to use it). Liquids are too hard to conjunct with data but printer cartridges industry is doing a great research in this direction and who knows, maybe in 100 years from now we are gonna to buy some plastic thing with computers running some proprietary code in order just to refuel your petrol car or tractor.
