Actually, the original post was about "California lags behind other North American states and provinces in the density of non-Tesla EV fast-charging stations relative to population", and NOT specifically (or only) the "West Coast Green Highway project" . The West Coast Electric Highway was mentioned as part of that - a part of the "density of non-Tesla EV fast-charging stations" situation (or claim there-of). I don't know when (or if) the "West Coast Green Highway project", became the "West Coast Electric Highway" (which is what was referenced - as specified in the first post). However, "Almost all of the West Coast installs are CHAdeMO only" is significantly different from "historically, way back when the West Coast Green Highway project started, CHAdeMO-only fast chargers were installed in WA and OR".There are still a lot of CHAdeMO-only DCFCs in OR and WA - based on a quick look in plugshare, maybe 20-35% of the total (and almost the totality of US-101 in OR). That is definitely not the case in CA, most installs were later - after CCS vehicles were available. The opposite situation as OR & WA is sometimes the case, as I-5 N of Sacramento all the way up to OR has quite of number of CCS-only DCFCs available. More than half of the DCFC sites on the west coast can handle CCS. "Almost all of the West Coast installs are CHAdeMO only" is just plain incorrect. It isn't 2014 anymore - for the past couple/few years, dual-standard DCFC installs are the norm (with the exception of Nissan dealerships). And since there are more DCFCs in CA than in OR and WA put together ...
