This is great because
This is great because California has the most EV's in the country and only two functioning DC fast chargers (Mitsubishi HQ and a 7-eleven in San Bernadino). I agree that 200, well placed chargers will make a huge difference in adaption. Fast chargers aren't needed in large numbers like gas stations are because an EV primarily charges at home.
U.S. auto makers are not serious about making electric vehicles, that is very clear. Only Ford has an EV and they don't seem to have much confidence in it, evidenced by the lack of road test reviews. So why wait for SAE and car makers that don't mass produce the product? Waiting would benefit no one.
I see CHADEMO being widely distributed with the low-cost Nissan charger. By the time one of the other manufacturers starts to sell a car that has the new SAE connector, it will need a CHADEMO adaptor. If the SAE standard does become dominate, then an adaptor will have to be used for CHADEMO cars.
It seems that SAE and the group of auto-makers think that EV's are off in the distant future, once again missing the boat.
