Ford and GM are probably regretting that switch to NACS...

Laughs in J1772 + CCS

This is bad for us too, because cars were already being developed with NACS since CCS “lost the war” in the US. What kind of uptake will those cars have with a network that has completely stopped growing because manbaby decided to take his toys and go home?

The auto manufacturers will blame everything but the fact that most EVs are overpriced and overcomplicated to compensate for them being ultra-reliable and no longer in need of constant maintenance. This country already killed EVs once, don’t put it past capitalism to try a second time.

The good news is that NACS is being adopted as an SAE standard (J3400), so further development is outside Tesla.

If the Tesla Network fails then anyone with a Tesla plug will just buy an adapter to whatever standard does take over.

J1772 is great for home charging, but for charging on road trips you really need CCS or NACS. The good news is NACS is being adopted as an SAE standard (J3400)
