Tesla to open Supercharger network to other EVs

[ajdelange]

That's what I am thinking.

There will be a lot of people paying very close attention to this particular regulatory process:


I REALLY hope DOT requires any charging stations built with public funds have hardwired CCS/J1772Combo ports and does not allow Tesla to just have its own connector and an adapter. I also hope they don't just let the whole program be a race to see who can build the most chargers the fastest, because I think that would favor the big entities that will just subsidize their existing plans rather than help build out chargers in areas that Tesla, EA, etc. are currently not planning to service.

I wonder if they will roll SAE/CCS connectors into FMVSS.

I wonder if they will roll SAE/CCS connectors into FMVSS.

I would be surprised if they do. It would be hard to support the idea that the Tesla port is unsafe or that the only acceptable solution for vehicle safety is to have a single connector type. It's not the same situation as with LATCH or similar, where interoperability of car seats is critical to safety.
