I like how I specifically said in the video that the current charging infrastructure landscape is weird and that we shouldn't look to it as setting a norm, and yet I am still getting bombarded by Tesla apologists who think all automakers need to put the charge port where Tesla does to be compatible with their weird chargers with dinky cables.

@TechConnectify The @EU_Commission is having none of that shit and basically mandated #Type2 connectors because those are an open standard and there are cheap means to have portable chargers that just plug into #IEC60309 outlets as are common in industry and even heavy duty outdoor electronics...

@TechConnectify And as sadly as the @EU_Commission won't adopt #IEC60906 connectors due to #eWaste I think they should make #IEC60309 mandatory for ekectric stoves and other electronics that require more than 230V @ 16A single-phase and ain't installed into the wall like some pass-through boiler/heater...
