I can see a lot of buyers getting pissed off because of this and Ford losing sales.

CCS is the standard in every country except for the US. Once the bigger manufacturers start selling EV's in larger quantities here, I would totally expect them to throw their money and weight around and force US to make CCS the standard here as well.
This will also put a hurting on all those Tesla buyers, but I guess it was inevitable

Confirmed? No. About as confirmed as Zora, meaning GM is saying nothing about it and at some levels denying existence, but we pretty much know it’s coming.

Actually, a lot of the reason Camaro has to end in early 2024 is because GM needs the time to convert the Lansing Grand River plant to produce the Corvette EV SUV.
