Do you have experience running a business? That's easy for someone watching from the sidelines to say. But the reality is that something like this have financial and logistical hurdles.

As of Sept this year, there are currently 14,081 individual Supercharger stalls at 1,604 locations worldwide.

Retrofitting all of those is hardly "without too much trouble". That's a fact.

No, the fact is they've already done exactly that in Europe: https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-supercharger-dual-charge-ccs...

But Tesla is still not allowing other EVs to charge at their chargers.

Tesla only needs to do three things to move to CCS properly: 1. Put a CCS plug on the charger. 2. Implement the CCS protocol. 3. Allow all EVs to charge at the charger.

Easy peasy and civic-minded. There are no downsides here.
