From Transport Evolved.

Fast charging technology has improved dramatically in the last ten years, as has rapid charger availability. But have you ever wondered why it seems so difficult to get charging stations to talk to every car on the market? Have you wondered what happens when you plug in? Or why your charging station doesn’t charge your car at the speed your car is advertised at?
