Hi Jeff,
???? Thanks! ? You answered the questions I asked.
So in the US, I would need a CCS1 or NACS connector to access
Level #3 charging. ? I would also need a Tesla or other charger's
credit card to activate the chargers. ? May anyone purchase these
cards or must one own a specific vehicle to use the charger?

Hi Lou,?
NACS is already the most common fast charger and will be more common
with it effectively becoming the national standard. While it is
possible to adapt CCS to NACS and vice versa, and adapters exist,
they're less commonly used.
With NACS becoming the standard, most EVs will be built with NACS
ports.
(This is talking about the North American area. Standards are
different in China and Europe. Europe is probably the most unified
with the Menekes connected being more common than NACS here.)
Payment is usually handled in an app or in a web site account. Just
like any web or app payment, any credit card (or other payment methods
probably) can be used. It's a normal online shopping transaction.
To do so usually requires setting up an account in the app or on the
web site. One of the parameters of the account set up is payment
method, like any other online purchase.
Hope this helps,
Jeff C.
