Nope. There are four standards, although only three per market. And, in essence, there are two surviving standards per market. 1. Tesla US connector 2. Tesla

Nope.
There are four standards, although only three per market. And, in essence, there are two surviving standards per market.
1. Tesla US connector
2. Tesla Everywhere else connectors (CCS with a mod to allow DC charging over it)
3. CHAdeMO (used to be the thing, but lost the war)
4. CCS-2 (European standard, what most new cars, except Tesla, support)
The rumour is that the EU Model 3 _will_ have a CCS-2 port, which would be great news, as that means essentially one standard in Europe. The S/X though have an older port which will only work with Tesla SuperChargers, the hope is that there will be a CCS-2 adapter made available, but that is only a hope, not even a rumour.
In the US, all Teslas have the "Tesla socket", and all/most other cars have CCS(-2).
A few manufactures still make CHAdeMO cars, but, IMO, they _will_ stop soon, since the infrastructure just isn't there to support them, so people will also soon stop buying them.
- StavrosK 8y agoAh, this is very useful info, thanks. Hopefully one standard will emerge, but at least we don't have one standard per manufacturer.
- cr34p 8y agoThe EU Model 3 will have a CCS-2 port, not a rumour any more ;) https://electrek.co/2018/11/14/tesla-model-3-ccs-2-plug-europe-adapter-model-s-model-x/ https://electrek.co/2018/11/14/tesla-model-3-ccs-2-plug-euro...
- ricw 8y agoThe EU model 3 has officially been announced with a CCS2 port. Other than the US, it’s likely that this will be THE port that everyone will support. Hopefully we won’t have any bigger charging port wars going forward...
- rohit2412 8y agoI think you missed that chademo isn't dying anything soon in Japan. And China has a local standard of its own. Those two markets are sort of out of reach for everyone else
