No. CCS1 cars still charge natively on Electrify America, EVgo and ChargePoint, and most brands now offer a NACS adapter for Superchargers. New 2025–26 models increasingly ship with native NACS — CCS1 is being phased out, not cut off.

Depends on the port and model year: 2025+ Ioniq 5/9, EV6/EV9, Lucid Gravity, Toyota bZ and Mercedes CLA have native NACS ports; older CCS1 cars need a NACS adapter once their brand opens access (Ford, GM, Rivian, Volvo, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia and others already have); CHAdeMO cars cannot.

Peak is a best-case figure requiring a capable stall, a preconditioned battery and low state of charge — power tapers as the pack fills. 800V cars are also voltage-limited on 400V-class stalls like V3 Superchargers, often seeing roughly half their rated peak.

Different conventions: Western makers usually quote 10-80%, Chinese makers often quote 30-80%. This tool labels the SOC window on every row — compare windows before comparing minutes.

Significantly. A cold-soaked battery can charge at half speed or worse until it warms up. Navigate to a fast charger so the car preconditions the pack on the way — most 2023+ EVs do this automatically when a charger is set as the destination.

Not necessarily. What matters is the average rate across the session: a car that holds 200kW from 10-60% beats one that spikes to 350kW then drops. Peak figures are best-case numbers — compare the labelled SOC-window times instead.
