I don't know how many of you caught this Reuters article, it seems that Tesla
Superchargers are great for America as long as they include the U.S. charging
standard connection, CCS, as well.
Looks like the CCS consortium still has a great deal of influence of political
influence.
My understanding is that the J1772 plug/standard and CSS standards are
the "official" standards for the United States, developed by SAE with
wide-spread industry participation, so I would expect them to be
officially supported by any governmental subsidies, tax incentives, etc.

It's fine for TESLA to market and promote a competing standard, but the
government usually follows the guidance of the national academies, and
large scale industry standards associations as opposed to those provided
by a single company.
So I would expect the SAE and other national standards groups to have
more influence than any single company, as they typically represent a
broad swath of the industry.
