I expect the BEV price war to continue, as long as gas stays cheap.

I expect many BEV buyers in areas with DC availability, wouldn't want more than a ~3.6 kW charger, if given the option just to buy the DC port.

I wish BEV manufacturer's wouldn't couple larger chargers with DC ports in a package.
(VW prees release)...Lowering the cost of entry to e-mobility, the 2016 e-Golf SE offers most of the features of the SEL Premium model. A 3.6 kW onboard charger is standard, but the DC Fast Charging Package (late availability) adds the 7.2 kW onboard charger with DC Fast Charging...

The immediate problem for CCS- equipped BEV buyers, is that the CHAdeMO network, while still rudimentary, is still far more developed where most of those prospective BEV buyers live.GetOffYourGas said:There are exactly the same number of CCS and CHAdeMO quick chargers within 150 miles of where I live - one of each. And they happen to be at the same location (a dual-standard unit in Ithaca, NY). I think VW's disadvantage is overstated for the vast majority of the country.
