You are absolutely right about the marginal gains you may get between a 150 and a 270 kW charging session and it is also highly variable considering outside and battery temperatures…..

I may have understood it wrong but I once read that a Supercharger at 400V may be as low as 50 kW. That makes a big difference….. It also seems debatable that the new V4 superchargers will be able to charge at 800V. And up here, we will be that las t to see these one in f=unction and there is still no Superchargers equipped with the Magic Dock.

The CCS1 infrastructure here in Québec is overwhelming. Good speeds, good locations, good service and stations are well-maintained: https://lecircuitelectrique.com/en/

I have a Tesla tap for Tesla Destination chargers but only used it 2-3 times in the 4 years I have owned my Taycan (Macan Turbo actually crossing the Atlantic sea on the SFL Composer). I am also considering buying an A2Z CCS1 to NACS, especially if I’ll go down south of the border…..

But I will not shy away from the NACS transition. I hear Porsche maybe transitioning in 2026. I read that Le Circuit Électrique is also installing new charging stations with NACS connectors. But as of now, I will receive a Macan Turbo equipped with a CCS1 connector…. And I will have fun with it!

ps: beside Le circuit Électrique and all its partners, we also have your cousin Electrify Canada with decent coverage in western and eastern Canada….

even if plan to never ever ever use Tesla Superchargers - J-1772/CCS1 vehicles will benefit from a NACS adapter - because Electrify America just opened their first NACS/J-3400 DCFast charging stations…

https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/t...the-physcial-design.16080/page-48#post-392782

so you should have a NACS/J-3400 adapter to use NACS/J-3400 based fast chargers - the future _IS_ NACS/J-3400 you'll need a DCFast NACS adapter for your Taycan/Macan…
