Since more brands are behind CCS I expect a similar if not faster uptake for that "Western" standard.

ABB and other vendors now sell multi-standard chargers with both Chademo and CCS plugs in the same outlet:

I think by around 2020 the lack of fast-charging station issue will be over in most countries.

I guess all i3 buyers should get the car with the CCS charger option (except for maybe the REX version), it will probably be worth for the resale value as more CCS stations pop up in Europe and North America.

So for years to come it's going to suck until there are enough of these new plugs common enough to make it worth owning for much other than very basic short use.
