Is the electric Fiat 500 the queen of charging? Here is the test

No doubt Tesla will provide US owners of other cars with an (expensive) adaptor between its DC cable and a CCS2 connector.

In Europe, the “Supercharger” network is still called that, and it still provides exactly the same power as the US one, the only difference is that it does so through a CCS2 plug, not the proprietary Tesla connector. (EU competition regulations forbid single-manufacturer “standards” for EV charging, so Tesla had to adopt either CCS2 or ChaDeMo when offering its cars in Europe)

I would not be surprised to see Tesla adopt CSS2 in the next few years: CCS2 offers higher power transfer than Tesla already, and with more and more CCS2 installations, it will soon be Tesla owners who end up driving out of their way just to find a compatible charger: its own customers will push Tesla to change over.
