Availability of Fast DC Charging in the United States

I wrote this post on FB because I find even the rebuttals to the responses on the ID.4 18 day trip a bit slanted.

I post here not to bash anyone or promote the ID.4, but to show the availability of 200kW+ charging in the USA which is currently best utilized by the Taycan.

After reading about different opinions on the ID.4 road trip across the USA as written up in InsideEVs
https://insideevs.com/news/499840/vw-id4-cross-country-trip/
Many folks point out the coverage of Tesla Superchargers vs CCS. Well I decided to look at 200+kW units that offer CCS plugs vs those that offer Tesla plugs as on April 13th on PlugShare. Of course with out the filter on minimum power the coverage of each would be much more dense.
I will let folks interpret the data themselves.

This 200+ kW support is what allowed the Porsche Taycan to become the latest EV Cannonball champion.
The trip was planned by Kyle Connor of Out of Spec Motoring fame who previously held the record with a Tesla Model 3.

CCS 200 kW+ - minimum plugshare score of “8” - not as rosey of a picture

That's fine with me. There are exactly zero 200kW Superchargers anywhere near me (within a 2500 mile radius) and only one CCS 200kW.

I take it choosing 200kW instead of 150kW gives some sort of advantage to CCS? Because I'd choose 150kW as the min I'd look for on a trip.
