Are there standards yet for fast charging systems, or will we end up with a Tesla charging station network, a GM charging station network, a Volkswagen charging station network, etc.?

It appears every EV manufacturer except Tesla is standardizing on the SAE J1772 CCS (Combined Charging System) plug. Just that means by 2025, doing fast charging at a commercial charging station could be almost as common as a gasoline station.

One interesting development is that the next National Electrical Code in 2020 will address bi-directional charging of EVs, homes now charge EVs but soon homes will be charged from EVs in emergency situations.

My question as well. I had a half-dozen USBs charging cables for my devices - all of 'em different.
