The shift towards the Tesla Supercharger network began in November 2022, when Tesla shared its EV charging connector design, which was considered superior to the Combined Charging Standard (CCS) used by other automakers. Ford was the first to announce its partnership with Tesla, followed by other major automakers.
As of September 2024, the Tesla Supercharger network has expanded significantly, with 36,499 NACS ports available publicly, compared to around 16,925 CCS ports. However, Tesla's website prohibits the use of third-party adapters, citing safety and performance concerns.
