Finally someone has a sense. I hope the US congress people can hear arguments along yours.

Have you been living under a rock in recent years? lol. The US can simply do anything under National Security. Ban Chinese telcom equipments in US for National Security. Ban Chinese phone for National Security. etc. As long as China do anything better than US, US will continue to do anything to make sure that does not happen.

Exactly. Why would any company commit to any rule that is not required by law?

Tesla only needs to support CCS protocol - it is well defined spec. Much easier thank work with "each EV's particular onboard charge controller".

I don't get your point. "..annoy owners" - which owners: EV owners or ICE owners? ".. someone else gets to pollute more" - who is polluting more? The whole points of EV credit is to get people to buy more EV, and car makers to make more EVs, thus pollute less.
