Everyone wants this. Why do we need a half dozen cables if they could all be the same? It’s wasteful and bad for the consumer.

Imagine if every car manufacturer used a different fuel nozzle receiver. That would severely limit when and where you could refuel.

Isn't that what Tesla is doing with their charging port?

It is. The government needs to step in a regulated and standardize a connector.

The US government has cajoled the EV industry to use one standard, and Tesla sells adapters, including an upcoming one for fast DC charging, and is opening their supercharging network for competing EV manufacturers to use.

So they’re already working on it.

Electric vehicles are a whole other ballgame than the mass-use of smartphones and gas-powered vehicles.

It's the same ballgame. The government needs to step in and regulate.
