There are 7,869 locations and 15,661 CCS ports in the US and Canada (versus 2,297 locations and 25,247 Tesla ports):

It's plugs on chargers and inlets on cars. It'll be a slow and tedious process.

I didn’t include the crappy L2 destination chargers, of which there are a whole lot more of that support teslas.

I was referring to the L3 superchargers / fast chargers or equivalent. The majority of the ones you linked are L2 chargers are are not that useful outside of destination charging.

That is DC fast chargers. If you include J1772 AC chargers in the count the numbers are 66,093 locations and 146,206 ports.

TBH, the afdc data badly overstates the number of available locations. Not only do they include a lot of broken or otherwise inaccessible locations, but they include things like this: https://www.plugshare.com/location/1564

I think that currently holds the record for the slowest DCFC in the country. :)

> max 13A, 4kW

Wow! You'd get a better charge from a standard 15A 110V AC plug.

No, you want to compare Watts, not Volts, as Watts measures power and Volts is just potential.

A 15A 110V outlet can supply 1500W continuous (1.5kW). A 4kW DC charger is almost three times higher power than this.
