Beyond the issues other commenters have pointed out with your analysis, I would add to that to not conflate the charger network quality with the connector itself. There’s nothing significantly technically superior about Tesla’s connector. Most of what’s superior about owning a Tesla is that the chargers are better maintained and placed in more/better locations. Heck, Electrify America wouldn’t even exist if the VW dieselgate scandal didn’t happen. The problem with CCS isn’t the connector, it’s that most companies who run US charging stations are doing it halfheartedly. I think it’s also in bad taste to have a main point that European-style regulations are inferior to the American laissez-faire system without very much commitment to the facts surrounding why those regulations are supposedly “bad.” I can’t think of many metrics where the US leads Europe in terms of transportation. It seems to me that EU regulations help do things like keep pedestrian deaths and average MPG/emissions lower than the US. Heck, the EU has double the EV adoption rate of the US. I have to think that a universal connector helped EU customers shop with confidence. https://www.statista.com/chart/27431/ev-unit-sales-per-capita-eu-vs-us/ https://www.statista.com/chart/27431/ev-unit-sales-per-capit... What we have right now in the United States are two major incompatible systems which is exactly what the EU avoided in the first place. Even the NACS solution isn’t a full solution because non-Tesla vehicles can’t use older generation superchargers.
