As someone who isn't sold on electric vehicles yet, this is a very good thing for me. Proprietary charging stations are one of my main reasons for not buying an EV yet.
It's so wild to me that the USA is such a clusterfuck of charging ports and networks. Here in Germany, we have bascially CCS for fast charging and a smaller plug (that is compatible) for slow charging. So every car can charge on every station - with very few expectations. Charging my car is as simple as charging my phone.
well that's mostly because the EU required that it become the standard. without similar regulation in the US it's just taken a bit longer for all of the manufacturers to consolidate on one solution
Do Tesla cars in Europe have CCS or do they have to stick to only Tesla brand chargers?
CCS. I can charge my Opel (german car brand) on a Tesla charger, and I can charge a Tesla on any other charger.
