It’s not the connector that’s the problem with EA stations and the like, it’s the total absence of maintenance. I for one appreciate CCS1 and J1772’s simplicity of implementation. NACS was designed by a marketing team which means far more complexity behind the scenes. They’ve done well keeping their stations running but the pins and sockets only matter for the sales brochure.

CCS1 is HUGE and heavy, already causing issues wearing out charge ports.
I’m sure people could imement it nicer but NACS’ form factor is just plain better.
