Comment on Germany Will Force 80% of Gas Stations to Install EV Charging, Too
PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world 1 year agoWhile I’m sure Electrify America is doing the same thing as Tesla (installing electric “gas stations” at regular gas stations, because it’s an obvious place to put them), I’ve only seen one ccs charger in my life.
I’ve never actually seen anyone use it, and it’s frequently got tape around it.
I take that tape as “it’s broken” but I don’t care to check on it.

A Tesla driver probably wouldn’t have any great need to see a CCS charger, just like a non-Tesla diver has little reason to go to a Tesla supercharger. They’re around, though. EA seems to like putting chargers in Sheetz and Walmart. Chargepoint is less predictable as to where you’ll find them. They do seen broken more often than they should be (usually seems to be a computer/software issue), though, I’ll give you that.

a whole bunch of companies are adopting the tesla charger design.
Nissan, Honda, Ford, GM, MB, Volvo already confirmed and more coming.

None of them have cars on the road using NACS yet , though.

ironically, they will have the “American” and “European” models since CCS is the EU standard

no doubt, but it seems pretty obvious that it’s the next step.
