Do you miss phones with replaceable batteries? By 2027, you won’t anymore because, by law, almost every smartphone will have them again.

Maybe. I know it’s a different scale but in the EU there’s a standard connector for all electric cars (CCS Type 2 Combo) and that’s become the defacto standard for most cars in most countries, but Tesla maintains their own connector in non-EU territories. I wouldn’t put it past Apple is all I’m saying: controlling the charge port is very important to companies that profit from tight vertical integration.
At least Tesla eventually allowed other car companies to use their connector.
True, but we don’t know how many strings are attached to that. The Tesla connector is going to be made ‘open source’, but that doesn’t mean anything in terms of it being free to use or permissable. I hope it’s being done in good faith but The Dipshit has something of a record to the contrary…
I’m pretty sure it is free to use. Check this out: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Tesla-open-sources-its-connector-to-take-on-CCS-with-half-the-size-twice-the-power-North-American-Charging-Standard.668196.0.html
