I use a CHAdeMO connector at least twice per week. I know that it works and I know that Mitsubishi and Nissan have mastered rapid charging. Nissan has mastered it without a heavier, complex active cooling system, which is more advanced than any other manufacturer.

The companies behind the SAE combo connector have no cars that have demonstrated the ability to quick charge. Couple that with a new, untested protocol and I think we have a recipe for more negative press for electric vehicles. I just don't see these guys getting it right the first or second time. They are all newbies to ev's and most don't seem too serious about it.

Based on what I've seen, Nissan is the only major manufacturer that is serious about having a real 100% electric line-up. They sell CHAdeMO vehicles worldwide, right now. No other manufacturer has even flirted with competing with them in scale or distribution. That fact alone should tells us what the stand will be.
