I really bought at the wrong time...

Got an Ioniq 5 in March, and I feel like I'm kinda screwed given the upcoming shift over to NACS.

Aside from an adapter I'm sure it'd be possible to convert it to built in NACS, but it might cost you depending on actual part availability

I don't think that's possible, is it?

NACS is just a different connector, the communication protocol is CCS under the hood. You can use passive adapters no problem. Replacing the connector should be possible, you just need a switch to shunt between level 1/2 AC charging and level 3 DC fast charging.

This is over my head. I only took a single EE class in uni.

NACS is lightning, The other port is USB C.

Modern lightning speaks the USB C protocol to your charger, but the physical connector is the old lightning plug. USB C obviously just speaks USB C.
