ChDeMo is a better connection in some regards (can feed energy back to the grid for example), but they are a lot fiddlier than CCS and Type2, which are just huge chunks of thick plastic.

CCS is the international standard for EV charging: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_Charging_System very common outside of the US, they are mandatory in Europe for example.

Yes, I'm confused by "Tesla Level 2 -> CCS"?
Teslas outside of the US have shipped with CCS since early 2019. Older Teslas had the proprietary port.
What is a "Tesla Level 2"? There exists an adapter to convert CCS to the proprietary Tesla connector but that's not L2.
A what now? I haven't seen anything CCS related in the US. Is that a European accessory? Don't all Teslas outside the US ship with CCS standard?
The US Teslas come with a J1772-to-Tesla adapter so you can use L2 Chargers.
