I don't get the hate for the CCS connector? I use it multiple times a week, it works fine. Now and then I come across a charger that refuses to start, OK, the connector is worn. I suppose someone will come along and fix it.

I have one in my garage; it does not sag under its own weight.

I agree with you that the CCS connector is perfectly inoffensive, but you're probably thinking of J1772, unless you have a DC fast charging station at home!

Ah, you would be right, it appears I have a J1772 at home. I did not know that the CCS is a superset of the J1772 connector.

Except this is about 50%+ of connectors in my area. Doesn't seem to happen to the Tesla connectors.
