I have a Bolt, I can attest to both the slow charge rate and the scarcity of charging stations.
BTW, you can't get 50kW out of most of the charging stations, 40kW is a more common starting charge rate and it tapers off to much less than that after you get over about 50%.
In addition, most of the EVgo stations limit you to 30 minutes per charge and the fees are terrible.
Anyone who wants a CCS to charge their Tesla has a screw loose. I'd give a big pile of money to be able to use Tesla's Superchargers with my Bolt. But I can't, so I'm buying a Model 3 to use for any trips > 200 miles R/T.
See both parties are looking at things from their perspective. Your part of the world is Tesla-land and you can get a Model 3 in 2017. You have an, apparently bad, DCFC operator called Evgo and ccs plug is completely different from Tesla's proprietary plug.
Whereas in Europe we will wait until late 2018, in fact for me early 2019 because I'm Turkish, for the Model 3. Tesla already uses an altered version of the Menekkes plug working above specs to be used for Supercharging. So all they need to is add 2 DC pins to the bottom of it to support both Supercharging and CCS. No one here is arguing CCS instead of the supercharger, what are we lunatics?
rEVolution isn't at the same level everywhere around the world. We in Turkey still rely on 16,5 to 22kW AC charging for roadtrips. So 50kW CCS is mad speed. Also for western Europe there's quite a bit CCS coverage. I think Tesla might make some slight localisation differences like that with the 3. Giant charge port can be explained like this. I understand how much of a dead investment like CCS is viewed from the states. But here with Ioniq, i3, soon to come iPace, eGolf and others CCS is a real alternative. Especially with the newer 100kW versions. (remember Model 3 supercharges at an average speed of 60kw with the lower pack)
I'm sure people from the 220V/400V three phase land will agree.
