Isn't that negotiation already part of the CCS protocol? Otherwise 400v cars would be fried when they end up getting 800v from an L3 charger, or a Bolt would end up getting 300kW that it can't actually use

Yes, but if there’s a dumb adapter between the car and the charger, how do the car and charger know it’s there and know its current and voltage limits (which may be less than the car’s)?

Can't you just buy the right adapter for your car/? I think that's how TeslaTap does it, they sell a few different amp options.

Or is the issue trusting people to buy the right one?
