Tesla CCS

[jefro]

lf you have the current Tesla app you may have noticed the ability to try to charge non-Tesla cars. None in my area...... yet.

What areas are they testing now? Can you tell?

Posting screen shot from the app. There isn't a way to do anything but 'search this region' from what I can see. my area (NH) shows nothing within range.

The only ones that showed up for me were in Europe. A little to far to drive.

Austin, TX is supposed to have some in a few weeks.

I see one "private" charger in Santa Monica. Only one I could find in US.

I see a bunch of Tesla Destination chargers and Tesla has a map. They are usually free to use and there are adapters for the CCS ports I hope Tesla will open their chargers soon since it would address some of the range anxiety. Given the popularity of Tesla and Tesla's getting priority, I am not sure it will help much. More important would be rest stops and truck stops near highways to have fast chargers. In general, there are just not enough. I looked for a trip to Virginia Beach and the closest fast charger is in Newport News, a 40 minute drive. My town has one normal (none Tesla) charger

There are two fairly reliable EVgo 50kW city charger locations in Virginia Beach. One is near Trader Joe's and the other near a Target. You could charge at the EA in Newport News and use EVgo for range while in VB.

I heard magic dock will be starting from LA and Austin.
Not sure if Tesla will start to sell Tesla->CCS1 adapter (I really hope so)

There’s a 200kW EVGo charger at a Wawa in Norfolk. There are a few other 50kW chargers in the area too.
