> Maybe the federal government will bail out Ford here with a charging infrastructure program Even if they did I don't think it would help. DC chargers are fundamentally a construction project. Tesla Supercharger locations often get delayed for months/years as they hit roadblocks like permits, disputes with landowners, shortages. So it's still going to be years before CCS chargers match the footprint. If/when Tesla opens up their network it could help a lot though.

The number of CCS plugs in North America is currently at 70% of the number of Tesla plugs: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_locations.html https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_locations.html CCS plugs will overtake Tesla plugs eventually. Tesla putting CCS plugs on their chargers will make it happen faster.
