We need a standard, but why CCS and not the Tesla one? One of those plugs has a network of great chargers, the other does not.

- resolutebat 3y agoThe entire rest of the world, including Teslas outside the US, use CCS. (Yes, CHAdeMO still exists, but even the Japanese are giving up on it.) The only reason Tesla uses NACS in the US is that CCS did not exist at the time they started rolling out the Supercharger network.
- pokerhobo 3y agoCCS type-1 (North America) and CCS type-2 (Europe) are NOT compatible. And China has their own standard.
- frumper 3y agoI'm glad we cleared up history and it makes perfect sense why Tesla isn't using CCS in America. You don't seem to care that it would benefit all of the bad networks in America while costing the well run one. I'm not sure why it matters what the rest of the world does. A charging plug seems a lot less of a change than say putting the driver on a different side of the car. Bonus points, you can even use a converter between the two plugs if you take your American Tesla to Europe!

- albrewer 3y ago> The entire rest of the world, including Teslas outside the US, use CCS As stated elsewhere in the comments, the European CCS charger and the US CCS charger are not the same.
- natch 3y agoNo — the entire rest of the world uses various incompatible systems.
