Doing a bit of looking, CCS was standardized in 2011 and first couple charging stations went up in 2012, which is actually similar timing to Tesla's superchargers. But I would assume the Supercharger system was designed in-concert with the Model S and they were well along in development.
If they really wanted to they probably could have got on board in 2011 with the other manufacturers and made it happen. I thought CCS came along a couple of years later.
Add that alongside the UX to reasons I don't want a Tesla.
- InTheArena 5y agoCCS type 1 was one standard among many. It wasn't until CCS type 2, and many many many years later (my recollection was the EU mandated it's use in 2018 or so?) that it became viable. Chadamo (IIRC) was the evident standard at the time, and couldn't do supercharging.
