Great. USA and Europe using different standards ... Type 2 will not go nowhere in Europe and USA will choose the Tesla Connector. Oh. Just into the rabbit hole

  This is already the case. CSS1 (NA) is incompatible with CCS2 (Europe). NA is just swapping out CCS1 for the Tesla physical plug. China also has its own standard. I don't see it as a huge issue. Cars are infrequently moved between continents anyway, and manufacturers have far bigger regional differences they already deal with.

  Different standards in the EU and US won't matter that much. It's $100 hardware that they will swap during manufacturing.

    I'd be interested to see the kind of discourse that goes into EV charging standards, but applied to wall outlets, purely for entertainment mind you. Really glad most if not all of these standards are electrically compatible, and can be cheaply adapted.
