The CCS Lock-In
The European Union has a deep commitment to the Combined Charging System (CCS) Type 2 standard, which has been legally mandated for DC fast charging across the bloc (simulated late 2025 context). This regulatory framework is firmly established. While NACS (Tesla's design) has been rapidly adopted by US automakers in North America, the EU has little political or industrial incentive to switch. Switching would require immense cost and regulatory upheaval. The overwhelming 85% 'No' vote reflects the near-certainty that the EU will retain its current CCS Type 2 mandate and will not adopt the NACS connector as the official, mandated standard before the end of 2030, though Tesla vehicles will continue to use the CCS Type 2 connector in Europe.
