Just plugging in the car won't work for Non-Teslas, though, so that advantage is straight out the window.

At least until there's further standardization to allow it.

There's no reason current non-Tesla chargers couldn't support this, other than they haven't bothered to.

Apparently you can plug in a Ford Mach-e at an Electrify America charger and it "just works". You cannot yet do that with a VW ID.4 (even thought VW built the network) but since the capability is clearly there, I'd expect to see it come in later software updates for the car.
