​Good question!

Also, are there multiple different standards/protocols/designs in use?​

Greetings!

The charter reads in part:

*****
Bringing together representatives of the entire stakeholder community -
people with different backgrounds, different needs, different
approaches, from different locations around the world - to collaborate
on an open protocol is the most reliable way to produce solutions that
are cost-effective, diverse, comprehensive, innovative, and scaled to
meet the aggressive EV growth strategies.

OK, but I assume this type of information interchange is already
happening. Yes? That is between "Charge Point Owners" and "Central
Management System Suppliers."

BTW, how is a Charge Point Owner different from a Charge Point Vendor?

I ask because the DOE says there are 13,870 electric stations and 34,180
charging outlets in the United States.

Apologies for the ugly URL.

So, out of those 34,180 charging outlets, how many owners/vendors are
among the initial members of the TC?

Hope you are having a great week!
