Tesla is progressively increasing its non-Tesla Supercharging pilot in North America, not too long ago opening the primary station in Alaska for CCS1-compatible electrical automobiles.

The positioning in Chugiak, close to Anchorage, is now outfitted with V3 Supercharging stalls with Magic Dock built-in CCS1 adapters. The corporate wrote that “This Supercharger is open to Tesla automobiles and Non-Tesla automobiles with CCS compatibility.”

That is one of many two Superchargers within the state, however the different one – in Soldotna – isn’t but included within the non-Tesla Supercharging pilot.

The non-Tesla EV customers can use the Supercharger in Chugiak, merely by means of the Tesla app (an account is important), which unlocks the CCS1 adapter.

Presently, there are about 15 Tesla Supercharging websites in america (principally within the east), out there for non-Tesla EVs, and two in Canada.

It is price noting that to this point solely two websites had been opened for non-Tesla EVs in California. There’s additionally one web site in Texas and one in Utah.

Within the close to future, we should always see a a lot greater variety of Magic Dock deployments as a result of compatibility with the CCS1 charging connector is essential to be authorised for public funding for brand new quick charging stations beneath the Nationwide Electrical Automobile Infrastructure Components Program (NEVI).

Let’s recall that there have to be no less than 4 CCS1 outputs, prepared to produce no less than 150 kilowatts of energy every (concurrently).

In the long run, the Magic Dock will grow to be much less necessary, as a result of most likely all new electrical automobiles, beginning in 2025 shall be outfitted with the Tesla’s North American Charging Commonplace (NACS) charging connector.

A number of producers already confirmed the upcoming swap from CCS1 to NACS and their mixed market share represents the overwhelming majority of all-electric automotive gross sales in North America. It is now arduous to think about that the opposite producers would stick to the CCS1 for longer than a number of years.

It implies that the Magic Dock is at the moment a brief answer, and its most necessary component is to adjust to the federal necessities to be eligible for public funds whereas increasing the Supercharging community.

Curiously, a number of states jumped forward and began to work on further necessities to equip new quick charging stations with NACS connectors as quickly as potential, however till the SAE completes the standardization course of and producers develop their NACS-compatible chargers, it could be arduous to implement.
