At present, the world of EV charging is dominated by two standards: the Combined Charging System (CCS) and the North American Charging Standard (NACS) – the latter being Tesla’s proprietary format. The CCS system, utilized by a multitude of automakers, boasts high-power charging capability, but the number of available charging points lags behind those equipped with NACS. Tesla's chargers have set a high bar for reliability, which is crucial as the EV market expands and the demand for dependable charging solutions intensifies.

Many existing and potential EV owners grapple with the concern of finding available and functioning charging stations during their travels. It’s this issue that Tesla’s widespread and reliable Supercharger network addresses. Tesla's willingness to open its network to other carmakers could dramatically ease these worries, and in doing so, might accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles by offering a more user-friendly charging infrastructure
