Comment on Germany Will Force 80% of Gas Stations to Install EV Charging, Too
hamsterkill@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year agoA 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

Already the case. Such is the “fun” of having the Imperial system in the US.

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

For now, sure. Car makers want to support the connector that has the most chargers out there. The competition won’t go away, though. Most seem to agree that CCS2 is a superior connector to both CCS1 and NACS. What it amounts to is that EV owners will just have to have adapters in their car. Tesla’s move to NACS at least makes that possible (as the connectors will at least all share a communication protocol, as far as I understand).
