Wow, starting to look like a landslide!
- How so?
  
  Seems like everyday more automakers are opting for the Tesla charger. If we extrapolate a couple more weeks, feels like they will all adopt it.
  
  I know there are still many more automakers, just seems like such a change when for years it looked like CCS was going to win.
Their EX30 is such a great little car. With the Tesla charging port it will be even better.
- Wish it was in production already! My wife was recently in the market for a vehicle and I would have loved to check out the EX30. We ended up getting her a Chevy Bolt and she loves it. Unfortunate the US doesn’t offer more small EVs.
  
  I am very glad you were able to get one of the Bolts before they are gone. We are in desperate need of more little EVs.
Isn't Tesla being forced to open their charging network?
- To get Federal grants, yes. But it wont matter if enough manufacturers start using their plug.
  
  Fair enough. I like a standard anyway.
Do we think Europe will jump onboard as well?
- No chance, what's the incentive? Europe already has a unified standard, ignoring the Nissan Leaf.
  
  Do Superchargers in Europe use CCS2?
