In the US the Tesla chargers have a proprietary plug that nobody else can use. Teslas do come with an adapter that is compatible with most but not all regular chargers.
For the other chargers even those aren’t fully compatible. Or some dickhead parks their truck to deliberately block access to the charger. And there is the mess of having chargers owned by different networks so you have to do your research before going on a trip, rather than what you see in the UK I guess. We almost got stranded in Oklahoma over the summer because the only EV network in the state wasn’t working for a day.
When I take my truck to any gas station I never have to worry about the gas pump being compatible.
