So who the broad swath of the industry is (or moving towards to be very
soon) and who should the government support now?
In the US, standards are generally set by industry; not government. SAE
standards (like the one that gave us J1772) was created by an auto
industry coalition. Likewise, the NEC gave us the Article 625, which
sets standards for EV charging.
Since they are voluntary standards (not laws), there is no enforcement
mechanism. An automaker may agree to parts of the standard, but is free
to violate other parts as they see fit. They can also ignore the
standard entirely and create a new one when they feel it's in their best
interest (i.e. more profitable).
In such an environment, EV charging is going to constantly keep
changing, as the various companies vie for control. There won't be a
"true" standard until someone gains monopoly control and drives out
everyone else.
