\nWhy automakers are rushing to adopt Tesla\u2019s NACS plug and what it means to drivers<\/br>

How did the<\/span> North American electric vehicle market finally decide on a charging port?<\/p>\n

Gradually, then suddenly, to paraphrase Ernest Hemingway.<\/p>\n

The war isn\u2019t over yet, but with Electrify America announcing this week that it would add Tesla\u2019s North American Charging Standard (NACS) plugs, it\u2019s close. Electrify America\u2019s decision is particularly important because it\u2019s both the largest non-Tesla, fast-charging network and because it\u2019s owned by Volkswagen, a notable holdout.<\/p>\n

The shift in momentum was particularly swift. In late 2021, when the government mandated that EV chargers be equipped with CCS to receive federal money, it seemed like Tesla\u2019s NACS was living on borrowed time. The automaker already sells EVs in Europe with an EU-mandated<\/a> connector that\u2019s similar to North America\u2019s CCS, so it wasn\u2019t such a leap to imagine a similar thing happening in the U.S.<\/p>\n

But then Tesla cut a slew of deals with competitors. The first of them breathed new life into NACS, and then subsequent deals tipped it toward becoming the de facto standard.<\/p>\n

Over the last month or so, Ford<\/a>, GM<\/a>, Rivian<\/a>, Volvo<\/a> and Polestar have all said they\u2019d switch to NACS. That leaves Volkswagen, Hyundai, Stellantis, Lucid, Toyota and Nissan. (There are others, but those are the bigger players in the EV space.)<\/p>\n

Of that group, several are likely to announce a switch to NACS soon. Volkswagen, Hyundai and Stellantis have all said they\u2019re in talks with Tesla. Lucid is a bit of a wild card since there\u2019s some bad blood<\/a> between its CEO, Peter Rawlinson, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Toyota\u2019s EV strategy is so far behind that the choice of fast-charging ports is barely an issue. And Nissan, well, who knows about Nissan \u2014 the company still sells cars with CHAdeMO ports long after everyone else gave up on them.<\/p>\n

Also this week, SAE International, an automotive standards body, said it would expedite work to develop an industry standard<\/a> around NACS, a move that should assuage other companies that were wary of letting a competitor control a key part of the EV experience.<\/p>\n

For EV owners and observers, the tidal wave of support for NACS raises a number of questions. What will happen to EVs that don\u2019t have NACS? What\u2019s driving the change? Is this a good move for consumers? Who wins? And perhaps more importantly, who loses?<\/p>\n

What does it mean for current non-Tesla owners?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Hundreds of thousands of EVs equipped with CCS are on the road today \u2014 and potentially millions more before automakers make the switch. For those owners, these can feel like uncertain times.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
