US had highly fragmented charging structure with three different systems. While China have one and EU with big parts of the rest of the world mostly have CCS. Japan will have to chose a way forward along with many countries and it probably won't be #NACS.

The future could be new #chaoji or continued build out of CCS. Great paper on charging structures around the globe and viability of different options and possible futures:

US is embracing #Tesla #NACS charging standard that currently max out at 250kw.

European #CCS have chargers with up to 360kw.

Chinas #GB/T standard seem to be able to go up to 480kw.

A work in progress #Chaoji is joining GB/T and Japanese #CHAdeMO standard with at least 900kw speed and bidirectional capabilities. Could be backward compatible with CCS.

Charging speed isn't everything though. Efficiency is important also. Is the US choosing the best way forward?

@FullOnElectric
Old CHAdeMO demise in North America was certain long before #NACS wave. An interesting development though is the Chaoji/CHAdeMO 3.0 is bidirectional and faster than NACS, possibly it could give Japan and China a common way forward. Do you know if Chinese standard GB/T has that bidirectional function currently?
