This is huge news since it’ll mean America’s three biggest sellers of electric vehicles will all be using the same power port. Or, more apt to this scenario, if ExxonMobil was in the business of making cars and shaped their filler necks to only accept their gas pumps – and waited for Chevron and Shell to change their cars to match.
