Description
Currently the API does not distinguish between Superchargers that are only compatible with Teslas, and those that work with other vehicles (either those with a built-in NACS port or those with an CCS->NACS adapter). This data is available via this json endpoint:
https://www.tesla.com/api/findus/get-locations?country=US&view=map
In it, find the open_to_non_tesla and charging_accessibility fields. The former suffices, but per #310, you can use the charging_accessibility field to distinguish between Superchargers that have a CCS port ("charging_accessibility": "All Vehicles (Production)") and those that need an NACS port/adapter ("charging_accessibility": "NACS Partner Enabled (Production)").
Would be great to see this data added.

Research direction
Locate the API endpoint that returns Supercharger data and inspect how its JSON fields are mapped. Compare the returned records with Tesla's get-locations endpoint, focusing on open_to_non_tesla and the charging_accessibility values described in #310. Done means the API exposes the requested non-Tesla compatibility data consistently.
