The cheap always comes out expensive !

What a dumbass
Yea last time I checked the one who wins are the ones with more backers, not necessarily the best, the fact that all or most all European and American manufacturers are choosing SAE CCS over the other is a good indication.

Theirs way more to it than just cost and I guarantee theirs more information that your not privy to than just speculating it was a dumb decision based on cost.

Anyway perhaps he's angry because he's invested in the other charging direction vs SAE CCS.......

One thing I do like is the SAE CCS is capable of faster charging than the other, or at least I read that somewhere.
