Episode notes

The SAE J1772 connector, which is the top circular portion of the CCS connector predates an ACS. The standard was finalized in 2009 and debuted in production 2010 in the Gen 1 Chevy Volt and Nissan LEAF. On top of the EV weight, they are heavier, but they don't typically have larger brakes than internal combustion engine vehicles because they rely so much on regenerative braking. To John's comment about not having small nimble EVs with rear drum brakes, let's take a look at the rear axle of the Volkswagen ID4, which has drums.
