I worked on EV charging stations. I could tell you some stories about what a scam it is.
The standard for Combo-DC charging was written by a bunch of absolute fucking morons trying to establish a monopoly, and a bunch of dumb, fucking corporations allowed this to be adopted as a standard, because either they didn't care, or had engineers advising them that were incompetent.
The whole "green car" shit, is just a scam. There's no attempt to reduce pollution, or to move to renewable energy. It's talked about in the standards, but even a mediocre engineer should be able to see the impossibility of what they are claiming to attempt to do. They claim, for example, that a car can be discharged to power the grid - but in DIN and 15118-2 - there's no way to do this - it's just bullshit, they are lying, in the SPECIFICATION - if you can go through the full 300 pages, like I have.
It's extremely frustrating to see a problem, and see a bullshit solution offered to fix the problem, that an industry adopts, that cannot work. That job broke me. No amount of warning, not amount of protest changed a fucking thing. I'd rather work actually making solutions, than working on a grift.
