> At 400Kw, you're using DC

Yes. So CCS type 2 Combo not "clearly inferior" to the "clearly superior" Tesla plug, is it.

> CCS type 3 is compatible with existing Tesla vehicles (it's a software update)

Teslas 2019 and earlier need a CCS retrofit. It's not just a software update.

> Tesla superchargers max out at 250Kw because they have all been 400V

That's wonderful. Show me the charger that's delivering 400 kW on the Tesla plug today. Remember, the contention is that the Tesla plug is "clearly superior" so it should already be faster, right?

This is silly, no Teslas charge at 400 KW, so obviously that doesn't exist. Noone within the industry has expressed concerns in making the NACS connector do 400KW.

It already runs at higher amperages than CCS, despite the lower KW.

> This is silly, no Teslas charge at 400 KW

This is such narrow thinking. What matters is building capable EV infrastructure for all EVs, and that means going beyond 250 kW.

Teslas are mid-range when it comes to charging. Other EVs are faster and need not be limited by what Teslas can achieve.

Think bigger. Europe is:

I don't think you understood his point.

[clouddrover]

He wasn't making one.

[_ea1k]

Yes, I was. There is nothing about NACS that limits things to 250KW.

[clouddrover]

No, you weren't. Remember: the claim is that NACS is "clearly superior" to CCS Type 2 Combo.

It's clearly not.
