Look, in order for electric cars to be viable (besides the issue of generating the electric power to charge the cars), they really DO need to have a unified standard for both AC slow-speed and DC high-speed charging. That's why I propose using an improved version of the SAE J1772 Combined Charging System (CCS) plug but with the DC charging rate increased to around 140 kW to better match the Tesla Supercharger DC charging rate.

They are working on faster quick charging networks. Right now there aren't any cars on the market that can utilize them. The Bolt was designed around the current 50KW fast chargers. I've read that part of the VW diesel cheating penalty, they are going to help seed the US with $2B worth of faster charging stations. I'm sure other car manufacturers will be happy about that.
