It could be either. I would think the most likely would be Level 2 cords at gyms, shopping centers, gas stations where we’re starting to see more Level 2 chargers installed.

I thought perhaps the level 3 cords could be the BYOC at a station, but I guess not...?

Level 3 cords are not BYOC. For CCS, the interfaces are different. Home / Level 2 chargers only have the top circular part of the plug included (referring to my picture in the post above). The bottom two connect points are required for fast charging. The Tesla NACS plug is physically the same for both low and high power charging, but the power module included in the mobile connector can only accept AC at low power.

Interesting. I guess since we’ve had plug-in cars in our household since 2012 I’ve kinda taken that for granted. It’s there so that if people choose to not install a home charger or live in a situation where they don’t have a dedicated plug-in spot, they can access power through wall sockets or other installations.
