FWIW Tesla’s connector and charging setup far surpasses that awfulness of using a clunky, heavy, and frankly ugly CCS charger.
Tesla also developed their connector long before CCS was a clear universal choice, though they do sell cars in Europe with a CCS connector as standard. In North America you just need to plug in the CCS adapter and you’re good to go from any charger you want.
Tesla also plans to open up their supercharger network in North America at some point, just as they have already in Europe. Unclear if they will retrofit stations with adapters or new cabling though

- testfrequency 4y agoI don’t understand the cynicism for a rollout that’s already been in existence for over a year now. If you hate Elon, that’s fine, but the supercharger network will become available to all vehicles in North America. However that will be implemented remains to be seen, but it’s a big deal for a lot of non-tesla owners.
