EDIT: the guy I’m replying to edited his comment. Originally he asked something along the lines of “why didn’t they mandate the tesla plug”
so the government should’ve mandated a closed protocol that wasn’t a standard?
The government should have sat down with manufacturers, telling them “Better come to the table cuz that’s where we’ll decide what the legal standard will be.” and come up with a solution instead of letting manufacturers do whatever they want until 8 standards came to be.
well, we’ll have to agree to disagree on that. I think it’s easy to say that with hindsight, but you don’t know where standards are needed when things are first getting going
Not as if it was unclear that EV cars were coming though.
It was, actually. Many people are still skeptical of that even. Some people still think hydrogen is the future
