I've read stories about lines forming for CHAdeMO chargers, and I think dual standard chargers are the best way to decide which is more relevant over the next few years.


If every station can use both protocols, has two cords, and can be used by two cars at the same time the market will naturally decide which standard is more accepted. If the CHAdeMO line is 5 Leafs long and the CCS line is empty too times we will see owners and operators replacing CCS cords with CHAdeMO cords and visa versa.


Anyone that thinks two standards are a waste of engineering should just wait to let Dual-Standard DC-FCs be the grand experiment.


One mistake no one corrected is not giving buyers a lifetime buy in option. The price of electricity is so cheap compared to the infrastructure build out costs. Letting users be a source of capital is a brilliant move on Tesla's part.


Any business that promised 500 50-100kW and 2,500 25kW DC charging points through out California with a $5,000-10,000 lifetime buy in would have no problem getting subscribers.
