Another interesting arguement is technically, the whole standard war is being hypocritical by the government.
The government has given grants to ECOtality plus other companies Like Aerovironment to supply Level 3 DC fast chargers in the form of CHAdeMO. Then, governemnt supported (through stock) GM is trying to push another standard. Isn't this all a waste of taxpayers money? Why throw money at CHAdeMO for deployment only to have a stake in the company fighting it? Or is that a way to be in a win-win situation.
CHAdeMO was first in the USA and their deployment was first by government backed money. Techncially the US government has more support of CHAdeMO than the SAE standard. I see that any support that GM has for the SAE standard or fighting against the CHAdeMO standard is a waste of government spending. Fiscal responsibility, at this point, would be to support the infrastructure you, as the taxpayers, have paid money for.
