Tesla has launched a product: the Tesla Universal Wall Connector. The product is perfect for non-Tesla EV buyers in North America.
The product is inspired by Tesla’s Magic Dock, a new adapter integrated into Supercharger stations. The Magic Dock serves as the receptor for the Supercharger handle, but when unlocked by a non-Tesla EV owner, it sticks to the connector, gets out of the charging stall, and acts as a CCS adapter.
Now Tesla is doing the same thing, but for home charging and commercial level 2 charging.
Why is the US hesitant to just legally mandate a specific charger like is done in Europe and Oceania with CCS2? I suppose this does help a little bit to remedy the bizarre charging landscape there, though I can’t help but wonder if this whole thing could’ve been avoided…
