Anecdotal, but I'm sure this is related to everyone adopting Tesla's charging standard, not just because the connector is superior. I have a L2 charger installed in my home, so my life is pretty easy, but even if I didn't the super charger network out here is pretty good. However, when I got a Tesla rental on my trip to Utah last year, I didn't realize how sparse charging is in some places. While I could survive on Tesla's network where I grew up outside of SLC, it'd be pretty annoying... but there's no way I could handle a non-Tesla vehicle out there because there are so few charging options, and they are so slow in comparison, I'd never be able to do it |

The state of CCS in 2023 is at its peak before it draws down and converts to NACS.. and yet it never even got to Tesla 2018 levels near me in NYC metro areas/I-95 corridor DC-Boston.
So they are behind where Tesla was in 2018, and Tesla was actively adding locations more quickly, with more connectors, in better locations than the CCS networks. So the gap only grew.
Even in terms of CCS connectors, via MagicDock, Tesla probably installed more in NY state in 2023 than any other CCS network, and possibly all other CCS networks combined. It's just absurd.
All that said, I prefer my car over my previous Tesla, I charge at home and am not much of a road tripper so it's all good.
