It doesn’t work right. I have an ID.4 and even though my local charger is listed on the Tesla site as being CCS compatible with an adapter, selecting my car and claiming I have an adapter still fails to make the site show up in the listings.
The car has a CCS port and has been tested to work with the magic dock by testers, so it’s compatible. The app needs work.
VW is strangely silent on this, which is making me think that my next car will not be a VW. That, and Ford got Apple Maps EV routing working and I still can’t get it to see my car.
That doesn’t really make sense considering it’s a charging standard and the entire point of a standard is to avoid problems like this. Hopefully it just means I need a software update for the car.
Which VW has been very silent about. I’d feel better if they explained what the issue is and what needs to be done to fix it, even if they say it will take time to fix.

I did some poking around. It looks like charging stations are actually limited by brand for now.
When I changed my brand from Ford to anything else, NACS-compatible Superchargers didn’t show up.
