Ccs retro for s,x article on Teslarati

450 seems reasonable, I think they need to take out the seat and replace the module/circuits to make it work with the CCS adapter, just curious why people want to do that. Is there a geo-location that has more CCS stations than SC?

Yes, there is. This will apply to most of Canada, especially British Columbia. In BC, CCS chargers (BC Hydro, Petro Canada) are pretty much everywhere. Superchargers are mostly limited to the Greater Vancouver area.

I will get the retrofit kit installed on March 16, estimate is 484 CAD.

No, Tesla's use the Tesla plug. The stations that are now open to the public use a Tesla plug that has a CCS plug locked into it as well.
My 2014 charges just fine on all versions of the supercharger network. I've used V1 which are finally all gone, V2, and V3 just fine and at the same speeds.

Interesting, in europe, there are many new SuC statitions that only have CCS plug.

Europe has a different CCS plug than North America. USA has the original CCS1 plug, and Europe has a CCS2 plug.

Dang! Why is it taking so long for the voltage to be in the road so we never have to stop to charge? Oh yeah. It won't work with flying cars.
