My only concern with one is that we're giving one private company a monopoly on it. Is that good, I'm not sure but in general it's usually not good for consumer

- flutas 3y agoLooks like SAE is writing standards for it, so doesn't seem like the monopoly power is going to be there. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/06/27/tesla-electric-vehicle-charging-plug-standard/bab5ae42-1508-11ee-9de3-ba1fa29e9bec_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/06/27/tesla-ele...
- rootusrootus 3y agoAre we giving them a monopoly? The standard was published, and as someone else mentioned SAE is in the process of formalizing it. I also doubt very much that Ford, GM, et al actually negotiated their contracts without some stipulation that there couldn't be a rug pull.
