I would love this. The Tesla plug is clearly better. Let's not have to fuss with adapters for our CT. Every ounce of material saved and making the plug standard smooth and sleek helps the EV revolution. Please no politics on this one.

Online petition
Lets go straight to the USB C standard of EV supercharging plugs and avoid millions of dollars and heaps of adapters and cords in the landfill.

Forward the link on your Social Medial accounts.

Yup - signed it yesterday.

I didn't see it in the description of the petition but I mentioned that if need be as an addendum, all OEMs should place the charging in the left-rear corner of the vehicle as well.

Or 50% of all new chargers be pull though to accommodate EV truck towing.

Or front-center to front-right.

Why 50%? That would make the problem of wrong-sided chargers worse!

I agree. It's obviously much safer backing into a charging stall or parking place than backing out. Common sense.
