Unfortunately only US and Japanese reps were at the table, nobody from Europe or China. So it goes. More recent EV list folks may not remember the collective sigh of relief here when J1772 became official. GM had rammed through its inductive "Magne Charge" paddle system in the 1990s as J1773, generating - shall we say - concern from a fair number of list subscribers and non-GM EV business people. We can thank CARB for insisting on a hard contact system in the early 2000s. The first implementation was the Avcon connector. It was used on the rather interesting and ill-fated Honda EV Plus, and a few other early EVs. The standard was revised to the current round style around 2009. A version of this was used for a while in Europe, designated Type 1. Some older public charging stations there still have Type 1 connections but it is being phased out. The current CCS2 standard supports up to 350kW DC (hello Ionity). David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.
