EV Charging Standards

There already is a standard charger in the US, CCS. All fast chargers installed in the last few years have been either Tesla or CCS. All non-Tesla models introduces in the last several years have had CCS faster chargers. Early on Nissan was promoting CHADEMO but that plug type is now deprecated in the US. There are still also J772 level 2 chargers for low speed charging such as at your house, but all vehicles support that as well.It is true that other markets have their own standards, China a

Remember teslas come with a CCS adapter that can go the other way.

Feels unfortunate the less popular and larger CCS standard is the one mandated: https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/11/23453587/tesla-connector...

Don't forget tesla's can charge on ccs in europe too.

What does the connector have to do with it? All new Tesla chargers in Europe are CCS and I haven't heard of anyone having any problems with it.

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.

It's Chargepoint, so it's useless to Tesla owners until Tesla decides to sell a CCS adapter in the USA.

In the US there is J1772 that works on everything and it works with 120v - 240v up to 80 amps (though typically 40 max).The US has settled on CCS type 1 for fast DC charging, most new cars support it.There is CHAdeMO a Japanese standard but that connector is on its way out in the US.And then Tesla does it's own thing but there are adapters available.I think it is a solved problem, if you don't want a Tesla a modern EV will have a CCS plug that fits both CCS and J1772. And i

I don't know about the US but in Europe, charging is well specified. The typical standards are Type 2 for AC charging and CCS for DC charging and the European Teslas implement those. The Superchargers are fully CCS-compatible. This was demonstrated recently, when the authentication system on one Supercharger site failed and the Superchargers would happily charge cars of any brand at no cost. The news quickly spread and there were videos of a wide variety of cars charging at the Supercharger

Is that in Europe? I didn't think CCS was very strong in the US, most charger are J1772.
