Tesla’s can use CHAdeMO with an adapter. In the States, there are still more Chademos than CCS, and most new DC Fast chargers have both CHAdeMO and CCS.

CHAdeMO is the better standard for fast charging, IMHO, since it allows bidirectional charging.

I've never heard it was bidirectional use, are there any vehicles that support that? The main negative against chademo (besides the huge plug format) is that it's not Hugh enough power in practice.

There is 100kW Chademo available. The protocol is the strong aspect of it; everyone should just use Tesla's much better plug.

Almost all leafs support bidirectional charging. I think some of the very earliest ones didn't.
