This is VHS vs. BetaMax or BluRay vs. HD DVD all over again. The end of those stories was the explosion of new, universal digital technologies that made the hardware battles irrelevant. This is not the same as media formats, but ultimately the best solution for the most consumers will prevail. Hopefully with any Federal oversight, crossover between this new network and the Supercharger network will be compulsory.
The product - electricity - is a common denominator. Changing adapters and software for different brands is not insurmountable. This is evident with brand like Polestar, which will launch Supercharger compatibility for new 2024 models
and adapters for older models.
