But I can’t see any major automakers following suit and ditching CCS.
I think this should be discussed in the main thread about this, unless it involves something specific about NACS in Canada.What do you think?
Assuming the same connector is used for the Semi (hence the 1 MW), it could become the defacto connector for Semi charging station? Then makes it's way down to cars ?
The other thread has some good info on this. Apparently, Tesla unveiled a new, backward-compatible 1000V connector. (The existing connector is 500V.)And what’s the deal with the “up to 1 MW DC” claim?
Do we know how semi charging is going to work? Would it be feasible for long haul semis to be EV or would this just be for shorter haul, like warehouse to store type of deliveries?Assuming the same connector is used for the Semi (hence the 1 MW), it could become the defacto connector for Semi charging station?

Large HV lines are generally going from source to load or serving as grid interconnect lines and are generally as point to point as possible. Even the big stations on I5 are in the single digit MW, so if we want to electrify semi's, we need to bring the substations and lines to the chargers rather than just relying on existing infrastructure.I would think that there are high power lines that criss cross the country and they likely keep near the interstates as those are the locations that towns pop up. Sure, they may require another drop for the Megacharger, but it won't tax the infrastructure too much.
There is no political will to regulate anything in the US anymore and I don't think Tesla will switch willingly. Canada and Mexico are just puppet states when it comes to standards, so don't expect anything there.Uhggg... I've been interacting with people who could be described as Tesla bashers trying to tell me that all Tesla Charging stations in North America are inevitably going to switch to CCS and eventually all new Tesla's will become CCS. I keep telling them they are full of s**t but I hope I'm not wrong?
Ok, thanks for clarifying. Aren't they doing a pilot project in Europe right now with 3rd party access to SCs?BTW, this is just the charging plug, not supercharger access.
In Europe all new Teslas are fitted with CCS2 plugs, which is now standard on all new EU EVs. Tesla can't open NA Superchargers to non Teslas until, and If, a Tesla NACS to CCS1 adapter becomes available or the EV is fitted/retrofitted with a NACS plug.Ok, thanks for clarifying.

Or the Supercharger is retrofitted with a CCS plug like they did in the EU, two plugs per stall.
