If only EA could solve the issue of their stalls actually working reliably…a plug is just an attempt for good press. Need more locations instead of appeasing current Tesla owners who can already charge wherever they want. Manufacturers don’t care about EA, EVgo, etc. They made the NACS deal so they could try to get supercharger access because of how sparse and unreliable DCFC providers have been. So all these DCFC providers now feel like boxing out the CCS/CHAdeMO customer base that can only charge at those locations when non-Tesla NACS vehicles won’t roll off the assembly line until late 2024.

If the SAE standardizes NACS, and if by some miracle the US reversed course on CCS being the US standard, it doesn’t seem fair to gatekeep the supercharging network. Rather, I don’t think the federal government should or would allow for that. The CCS magic dock experiment is likely to trickle to a stop given all the manufacturers switching to NACS. If they don’t open it up to all vehicles it’s just a walled garden with premium access.
