That's correct. Combo 2 is European and the top part is a mennekes connector instead of J1772.
My point is that as long as you need 2 standards, one for North America and one for Europe, there's no benefit to the North American standard being CCS1 over NACS.
Because of the pervasiveness of NACS at this point, it is easier to just adopt it than to force CCS1 on Tesla.
There is already confusion with CHAdeMO, J1772, NACS, and CCS. J1772 can easily charge using AC NACS destination chargers for the cost of a $100 adapter. CHAdeMO will be killed off with the last gen Leaf. It's all the new CCS1 EVs that will be problematic.
