Let’s correct your misunderstanding, then.
1. The US has 3 phase power. 2. The difference between NACS and CCS1 plugs is that NACS just combines the DC and AC lines into the same wire. Since the lines support both single and multi-phase AC power, and DC, the only downside of multi-purposing the line is that the car needs to make sure it’s routing the negotiated power to the correct place. 3. The protocol that any new supercharger speaks is the CCS protocol.
- Symbiote 3y agoResidential areas in the USA tend not to have 3 phase power. In several (not all) European countries, it's normal to have 3 phase power in your garage, kitchen and laundry room -- even in apartments. In (almost?) all of them, it's normal for any business to have it. That means the typical destination and many home chargers are using it.
