   Tesla owners need to get SAE J1772 to Tesla-weirdo converters. Tesla did not really need to invent their own standard.

     Thanks. I guess that is better than I thought. I bought my 2016 Volt 8 years ago and I kept running into NACS chargers and there being no device for connecting those handles to my CCS/SAE J1772 socketed car. It is pretty irritating.

     @thomasfuchs I’m utterly mystified that everyone who owns a convenience store or fast food restaurant with a parking lot is not adding charging stations. Everyone knows gas is a money loser, and the real money is in crap purchased while waiting. There’s more waiting, so more profit to be had.

     At the least, this is a great chance for the US to finally up its vending machine game. Bring back the automat!
