This sentence seems to imply that one cannot charge their non-Tesla car with the Tesla charging network without substantial modifications.
What do you mean by substantial modification? It is already possible for non-Tesla cars, in the United States, to charge at Tesla destination chargers with an adapter: https://qccharge.com/collections/jdapter-stub™-tesla-station-adapter/products/jdapter-stub™-80-amp-tesla-to-j1772-adaptor https://qccharge.com/collections/jdapter-stub™-tesla-station...
There isn’t anything particular magic about Tesla Superchargers, either. A simple adapter+some API for the app will open it right up.
I’m not against standardization, btw.
- _ea1k 4y agoTrue, and tbh, the adapters don't have to be particularly clunky. The CCS1 -> Tesla connector adapter is generally pretty elegant. Its not as nice as the Tesla connector itself, of course. Sadly, the US standard (CCS1) was heavily influenced by a desire for backward compatibility with J1772. Its not a great standard in itself.
