I'm sure most will know this but in Europe, and maybe some other parts of the world, the V2 superchargers all have CCS connectors as well as Tesla's "adapted" Type 2 plug (that's different from the US Tesla plug). The V3 superchargers (and all Teslas since I think 2019) have gone CCS only. Older cars (like mine) can be upgraded to work with CCS, which involves a new charging interface module, and then a fairly compact adaptor. Some of the CCS facilities can be used by non-Tesla cars, via an app. Yes, the charging port locations don't match anything else and the cables are short, so this can cause chaotic parking.
So this shows it's doable, and my guess is that even US Tesla, which I understand is dominant in terms of charger provision right now will have to come around to what everyone else is using eventually. I know that they are trying to get the Tesla plug legislated as the US standard but that's inevitably going to fail and seems rather bad faith.
