CCS looks like it's going to quickly disappear though


CCS1, the physical connector used in North America, yes. CCS the wire protocol, no. NACS is a physical Tesla connector using the CCS protocol.

The CCS adapter used here not working basically tells you the Cybertruck doesn't want to talk CCS yet. A CCS charger with a Tesla adapter is essentially equivalent to what NACS will be. This also means that as it currently stands the Cybertruck won't be able to charge on non-Tesla NACS chargers without an update.

On Superchargers this is not relevant. Superchargers can talk Tesla's own protocol (which is not in NACS, and is CAN-based) to the Cybertruck and can talk the NACS/CCS protocol (PowerLAN) to NACS cars / CCS cars with an adapter.


The world outside of the USA that functions perfectly fine with CCS2 adapters.


China, Japan, Korea, US, and Canada make up more than half of the worldwide EV market and none of them use CCS2.


Most of the L3 chargers I visit still have ChAdEmO, I think CCS plugs will be around for a while
