The Model S was announced in ‘08 and first prototype was displayed in ‘09 (per wiki). I’m fairly certain that Tesla’s plug was finalized before the CCS standard existed.
- fiddlerwoaroof 5y agoIt’s really hard to find a good timeline of the plugs, but I know I’ve seen at least one article that claimed the CCS standard exists because the other manufacturers didn’t want to adopt the Tesla plug. But, even if I’m wrong about the history, I find the Tesla plug much more user-friendly than the alternatives.
