I absolutely hate that Tesla was successful in lobbying the government to use NACS instead of CCS. You can tell that it was lobbyists because seemingly overnight, the government changed from giving grants for CCS (never owned by a single company) to only giving grants for NACS (a proprietary standard that was opened to other companies so that Tesla wouldn't have to pay to change their chargers). When the government decided to change to NACS, NACS specifications hadn't even been sent to other companies yet. A new, better CCS plug was even being developed, one that on paper could handle more than NACS.
