And to think that I thought it was the standard because the Leaf used it, you know the #2 best selling EV? The one that actually uses DC Fast Charging.

Standard shmandard. Tesla doesn’t give a damn about them either.
VW cars use CCS. Electrify America is VW. Thus EA stations are CCS, except for the mandatory minimum from the dieselgate wrist slap. Frankly we’re lucky that one chademo plug made it into the settlement at all.
It may be the case in CA, but it isn't in the remainder of the country. EA isn't the only, let even the biggest player in the DC Fast charger market.
I know my question was in general, but what about all the other DC fast chargers in the area? What are they?
CCS is the standard in the US moving forwards and that's why EA has those plugs. It is not VW catering to their own cars.
The problem is not EA, the problem is Tesla for refusing to give North American customers access to additional options. Lines at superchargers on holidays has become an Internet meme and are an embarrassment to the brand. Tesla gave us a CHAdeMO adapter, why can't they give us CCS? Probably because the CHAdeMO was developed by the "old" Tesla that cared about what its customers wanted.
Tesla along with Nissan and Mitsubishi are the only three pushing Chademo options in North America. EVERY other brand has gone with CCS. Tesla holding out on CCS is just pathetic.

I think Tesla wants everyone to stay in their ecosystem. They did the Chademo adapter I think for Canada mostly when they didn't have much supercharger coverage and Canada had a large network of Chademo deployed. Tesla was pushed by regulators in Germany to do a CCS-2 there.
Tesla loves proprietary nav (no Android Auto or Apple Carplay), proprietary charge connectors, exclusive repair options, licensed body shops, etc. Like Apple, they want you to never leave their ecosystem. Many are begging for Teslaquila (aka Tesla kool-aide).
Soon the cellular connection will be replaced with Space X Starlink Internet connection.I think the CHAdeMO was required for them to be able to sell cars in Japan, since that is the majority of DCFC stations installed there. (And the CHAdeMO was made compatible with the Model 3 about the time they started shipping Model 3s to Japan.)
You will notice that Tesla went with a standard charging connector in the EU from the very beginning. They went proprietary in NA because there was nothing that existed that met their needs at the time. And now with the installed base of destination EVSEs and Superchargers they are sort of locked in.
Tesla has been swapping out many of its superchargers and installing V3 ones too. No reason why the new installed base couldn't include both a Tesla proprietary and CCS connectors like our friends in Europe have. There they had the legacy issue too.
But that does nothing for the 10s of thousands of destination chargers that are installed. In Europe the top part of the connector remained the same so all of the destination chargers work regardless of if you have a CCS port or not on your Tesla.
Sell an adapter. I have one to use my Tesla charger on my Bolt. Works great. I use Tesla destination chargers around town for my Bolt too.

CCS is crucial for driving in Canada as Charge speeds are much faster than CHAdeMO (150K compared to 50K) which Petro Canada and some BC Hydro stations (in BC) support. This is especially true for Americans wanting to drive up to Alaska which your only options in BC north of Hope, BC are CHAdeMO 50K and CCS 150K. There are no Tesla Superchargers for the majority of my province so its home charging, J1772, CHAdeMO or CCS.

Charging in Switzerland at a 150 kW Supercharger V2 with standard connector, I can reach the speed 0f 135 kW with a Model S (100 kW).
At what speed could I charge with the CCS Adapter at a 250 kW Supercharger V3 ?

It looks like an official CCS1 adapter may be coming to Korea in the first half of next year: Tesla Korea 12월 뉴스레터
I wonder if it will require a retrofit like the European CCS2 one does, and what models it will work with.

Great news!!! And it's a much smaller adapter. I hope that they start shipping this to the USA too. (Or we might have to purchase it via the grey market).It looks like an official CCS1 adapter may be coming to Korea in the first half of next year: Tesla Korea 12월 뉴스레터

I got confirmation for my appointment to get the CCS Combo II Retrofit. So I will be able to charge at the Supercharger V3 in Switzerland and Europe. All new Superchargers V3 in Europe don't have Connector Type 2 anymore.

So far we have been able to get this to work with our 2012 Signature Edition P85 at some Electrify America and Chargepoint CCS/SAE Combo DCFC chargers in the United States.

The Tesla ccs adapter allows your Tesla to connect to all ccs charging stations and fast charging. You don't have to wait in line for a Tesla Supercharger.
