"It appears every EV manufacturer except Tesla is standardizing on the SAE J1772 CCS (Combined Charging System) plug. Just that means by 2025, doing fast charging at a commercial charging station could be almost as common as a gasoline station."

Outstanding Ray, Tesla could end up like Apple was with their hard-headedness where it was a niche product and never regained a the ability of being a work platform. Try to find a real CAD system that runs on an Apple, they stayed away.

GM is playing w/ a fast charge system, 10 minutes ='s 80% charge, and no one talks about the small splash it made here in MI car news, IMHO is is freaking big. That has battery longevity issues potentially associated with that rapid of a charge. But perhaps Solid State Batteries of which we are on the cusp of will have that covered.

This Revolution is going to happen and IMHO it happens in PDJT's 2nd term, and it is not investment advice, but there are those saying the changes in the markets "delta" will be more profound than the dot.com/PC boom of the Clinton Years.

FWIW, if the rumors are true of a Ford 4wd 4dr CUV that has Mustang DNA that is sched to be a 2020 model year vehicle it is something to consider. It will be the 1st EV that isn't a frumpy nerd box other than the Tesla which is what Jag should be. Lee Iococca had a choice between a gussied up Falcon w/ a long nose that was sporty with an American Drivetrain or a 4dr fwd replacement for the Cortina or some other Euro Car. He choose Fun over frumpy with the Mustang, and the rest is history. Will this thing they are going to build catch lightning again (no pun intended?

I'll have you google the images, I don't want to get in trouble with the mods, they are subject to CR....

Can the Grid handle all of the incremental juice flowing through the wires?
