Tesla's charging standard is now the standard that everyone's going to use. There are other companies building out chargers. Demand for EV's in general seems to be dropping, so Tesla's EV's will be the biggest beneficiaries of new EV chargers built by everyone else.

Given all of that, Tesla no longer needs to be in the supercharger game.

No, Tesla's charging standard is dead.

Everyone in North America is going to use CCS with Tesla's plug. The plug is now standardized as SAE J3400. It's CCS type 3.

Older Teslas will need a retrofit to be able to talk CCS.
