> Europe will be stuck with a clunky CCS plug when the US has a lighter and easier to use plug

It isn't clunky. That's a bizarre claim to make and plainly not based on any practical experience with the CCS type 2 combo plug.

Europe has simply done EV infrastructure better than the US. The European EV market is bigger. The European charging networks are better, faster, and growing every month.

Feebly attempting to argue otherwise is childish. The proof is in the field and internet theorizing doesn't change that.

> In the US our 120 volt household wiring really limits appliances.

Wot, you mean like how Tesla chargers are 400 volt which limits 800+ volt EVs from charging at their maximum kilowatts? Plenty of CCS chargers already support 800 volt cars. It will take a number of years for Tesla to roll out upgrades to get all their chargers up to spec.

I have plenty of experience with both.

Accusing me of being childish just shows that you're reverting to ad-hominin attacks instead of looking at the merits of the situation.

You plainly don't.

It's no insult to assess you correctly.
