Tesla open source their electric car patent. It has always been like this
Sure wish the whole industry would’ve used their damn brain and picked Tesla’s connector as it’s wildly a better experience.
Maybe most home chargers are crap and dangerous, and Tesla wants good and safe electronics in peoples houses
Non Tesla buyers buying Tesla chargers is still money for Tesla.
Just understand Teslas mission. They don't patent anything. They're accelerating the transition to sustainable energy
Lectron makes EV charging adapters for Teslas and non-Teslas. My husband and I bought an used 2012 Nissan Leaf after we already had a Tesla Model 3. We have Lectron's Tesla to J1772 adapter and we love it. Check out this link for more on their EV adapters: https://ev-lectron.com/collections/ev-adapters
In Europe we use the European standard plug….. Also every Tesla car and their super chargers.
Seeing as a lot of teslas are being traded in for gas powered or even other brand EVs, this seems relevant to sell.
Teslas are cool but everyone else is catching up and selling EVs that are better at certain things
So I have a model 3, it shows that in 2023 I’ll be able to get my charge port changed to J1772, so they are just getting ready, they are switching to CCS ports very soon
The Tesla plug should be the universal one. The other plugs are so overall huge and way too big. That Tesla plug is awesome.
Do any electric vehicles company provide reverse charging one electric car charging an other electric car in need to go next 20 miles
Tesla wall chargers balance electric current draw when charging multiple EVs.
Stupid headline
Elon Must stated himself that he welcomes competition and he also admitted that he does not mind if other EV competitors overtake Tesla in the future because this promotes and accelerates the EV growth.
I’m not from America, and we don’t have EVs yet in Zimbabwe but l think l understand this move…it’s for wider range for all EVs (and general uptake in adoption of EVs as the range issue becomes less of an issue).
There are households with more EVs than just Teslas. I wish they had done this years ago, it would have saved me some drama…
A friend of mine living in Canada just ordered a Rivian for himself and his wife drives a Model 3 model. Maybe this is for such people who have multiple different cars at home.
Perfect play for EV revolution.
This is also great for mixed EV families. My buddy has a Tesla & a Rivian for instance.
Good for Tesla. However, like any gas/fuel station you pull into to refuel, the nozzles at any/all gas stations fit 100% of all vehicles. No conversations to be had about adapters.
All EV charging stations should be the same.
The EU forced Apple to move on to 100% of usbc, surely the U.S. government can get this EV charging crap under control.
We should have 1 universal/lateral EV charger, not this proprietary ish!!!
Helps their mission
Genius business move.
Tesla's mission isn't to just sell their cars, it's to transition the world to sustainable energy. So providing a solution to help non Tesla EVs charge at home is part of the mission.
It also allows businesses to collect a fee for charging. You can register these units and set a price and then you can collect fees from any EV.
Elon said in an earnings call not long ago that Tesla is not a walled garden company like some (cough cough Apple)
Why America doesn't just use Type2/CCS instead of these proprietary CCS derivatives confuses me..
Also non-teslas in Europe can charge at Tesla super chargers and have been able to for almost a year now since all cars here use CCS these days and so do Tesla. Not that it is important because public charging in Europe doesn't rely on Tesla like it does in the US
Great for their branding. People who use branded items (given no issues) tend to trust that brand more because they used it before.
The most obvious explanation, coupled with the fact that "CCS Support" has appeared in the nav system for some Superchargers, is that Tesla is about to switch to CCS for North American vehicles. They did this in Europe already and it's inevitable it happens here.
My guess is Tesla is qualifying for government subsidies by selling chargers that are universal to all EV’s.
they sell them cos if you want to charge for the electricity you need to go through their app, and they get a cut. simples.
Didn’t Apple help create type C? Apple can use the term “Thunderbolt” because of old tech agreements around Usb-C. I remember when it was the ONLY outlet introduced on the MacBook way back like 2013 and people FREAKED. Most people didn’t know about usb- c or have other devices. I certainly didn’t, I had either A or micro usb. Apple actually tried to push the usb-C and was criticized heavily.
Here it is just type2 and ccs simpel
what a click bait title. Tesla released their blueprint and design for cars many years ago. You’re so sour about Apple lmao.
He knows Combined Charging System (CCS) Combo 1 connector is build on this standard and everyone in the world use them except Tesla’s in the US, right?

Also the channel State of Charge (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdX0BJNon1c6GfOdeS3pyDw) is an excellent source for EV charging info. Here's the link to his video about charging adapters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51JTXo8r0Xc
