The question becomes how many people would actually pay for (what would end up being) an expensive adapter? I mean how popular is Tesla's chademo adapter? Also, isn't it curious that Tesla hasn't come out with a CCS adapter yet?
Fiver points:
1) McRat is totally correct when pointing out GM devotion to SAE. A bit on ancient history is in order. SAE was founded with henry Ford as the first titular leader. The real force came later when Charles Kettering, founder of Delco, GM's technical head for decades. Kettering led SAE as GM went from a distant second to Ford to being a dominant #1, and led the SAE transition to air also, with WWI as a huge impetus. Kettering's close proximity to the Wright Brothers helped. The point simply is that GM has been devoted to SAE for more than 100 years. They know no other way to survive. That is why, even when they innovate, they do so in a derivative fashion. That is not bad for them; it only means they cannot be the first technologically, but can give huge scale when they finally move.
2) The SAE has settled on J1772, even to the extent of incorporating J1772 into their adaptation of the German CharIN CCS. That too, is logical, because CCS was predicated on an incorporation of Mennekes 2 (correct name: IEC 62196) the pre-DC Fast Charge equivalent of J1772 was built in. Above all the SAE/IEC engineers value backwards integration so the huge klugey charging plugs are part of CCS. It was the Germans who thought ac based network communication was easy because they already had a standard for that so network charging authorizations would need no new process. That is a really big deal because it allows CCS to accomodate any payment process anybody can dream up without new hardware design.For all the naysayers, that last point is the raison d'être for the ac complexity.
3) Superchargers and CHAdeMO communicate via CANbus so adapters are not difficult, though they are bulky. Tesla sells quite a lot of them, but they do not state numbers. People in Asia, many in NA and Europe, need CHAdeMO adapters to use DC Fast conveniently.
4) GM is so deeply committed to SAE that they have greet difficulty imagining anything else. The CANbus itself was a Bosch invention that is an ISO standard fully supported by SAE. When they try to merge the ac communication process of CCS to the CANbus process of CHAdeMO...well, that requires a bit of ingenuity that has no. preexisting SAE, ISO or IEC standard.
5) Given the previous points we see the GM dilemma. Their engineers are clever, but they work within established, predefined rules. They are none for that adapter today, but there will be soon because Tesla and the Germans all know they do need that ability. Their dilemma: CHAdeMO is a standard developed by Tokyo Electric that has become Japanese domestic standard, seen worldwide mostly for Nissan and Mitsubishi. GM is terrified of Japanese!
After all that, somebody will figure this out, probably after Tesla begins to sell one, and somebody will sell one. My bet is that "somebody" might be ChargePoint since they are the giant car company NA charging network of choice, so they'll happily abdicate to ChargePoint.
This discussion could be a long thread itself, but...
GM does NOT think it should have a role in charging EV's. Thus their complete abdication of the subject in Bolt positioning to ChargePoint, to the extent that they did not even notice the DC Fast CCS/CHAdeMO issue. They might know how Superchargers fit in, but I rather doubt it. Once ChargePoint solves the equation it will be rosy for Bolt owners.
