> it can support higher voltage in a new revision, but that means currently deployed chargers have an inferior design in that aspect

It's tough to bring currently deployed chargers to CCS's defence, given most deployed chargers are Tesla's.

That sounds like goal-shifting, considering I was arguing against gp's rather absolute claim on NACS having superior design and engineering:

CCS currently supports 800V. NACS is going to support 800V. The number of extant chargers with 800V capability is, to a reasonable approximation, the same for CCS and NACS. So NACS being able to support 800V rhetorically balances CCS being able to roll out 800V chargers (or any, period), at least in my mind.

Put another way, one solution is deployed and capable of upgrading. The other is also capable of upgrading, maybe comes upgraded already, but hasn't been deployed. The first strikes me as better engineered. (The latter may have superior design, but I have trouble buying that argument given NACS can be upgraded.)
