ChargePoint is the largest electric charging network for businesses, fleets and drivers. I’m a trucker and I have yet to see one of these. I go to so many businesses and it’s either Tesla chargers or the Electrify America chargers. Glad they’re on board though, hopefully everyone will make the ... See More switch to NACS.

I want to see the cable amperage limitations. If using a Tesla cable bumps CPE250 chargers from 200 amps to 300 or even 350 amps it would make those chargers so much more useful!

Well, I've had some fun adventures with my CHAdeMO adapter at Chargepoint DC Fast Chargers. It will be good to leave the adapter in the box some day and just be able to use NACS.

I like how a group of people in a room can make the Tesla standard, it can be better than industry wide committees by a mile, and then the industry wide committee has to certify that standard under their brand to make it legitimate to their ‘200,000 engineers and technicians’.

From the article: SAE International announced today that it will standardize the Tesla-developed North American Charging Standard (NACS) charging connector. This important decision follows the switch from the SAE J1772 Combo (aka Combined Charging System - CCS1) charging standard in North America to NACS, announced by Ford, General Motors, Rivian and ... See More most recently Volvo, as well as a double-digit number of other companies (charging equipment manufacturers or networks), which we've kept track of here. *"The global engineering organization that engages nearly 200,000 engineers, technical experts and volunteers said in a press release that it will work to help with deployment of the NACS connector, an alternative to the longstanding SAE J1772 Combined Charging System (CCS) connector, after Ford, General Motors and a number of EV public-charging equipment suppliers recently indicated they intend to adopt the NACS connector design."* SAE noted, similarly to CharIn, that the NACS is not a "standard," additionally pointing out that it wasn't reached through industry consensus. Well, it seems that it will become standard after all, through market domination: *"Although Tesla dubbed the NACS connector a “standard,” it is not one that had been reached through industry consensus."* Both SAE and CharIn will assist in making NACS a new standard. There will be a new SAE NACS charging connector standard, "developed on an expedited timeframe."

SAE sounds a little butthurt that Tesla designed a better connector by throwing shade about the "standard" wording. Tesla turns out they were right about their definition of "standard"

* Ford * GM * Rivian * Volvo * Polestar Though, as I understand it, Polestar is basically Volvo, so this was likely going to happen once Volvo came over...

I rented a polestar a while ago. Really liked it. Does a lot of things better than Tesla, and a lot of things worse. I'd consider it for my next car if they can use the supercharger network

Your move, Germans

That tail light looks worse and worse with every video and picture.

If I’m not mistaken, General Motors already did this with their trucks, but nobody cared to pay for it.

Lmao it looks like one of those sinks u see at dog grooming stations

That's the first non-American company. Feels like now all the dominos will fall.

I think one of the biggest aspects of this is that no one will want to buy a car without NACS starting NOW. So for the next two years other manufacturers will have trouble selling.

Freakin hate dealerships…

Here’s the thing: Louisianaians (sp?) are getting Teslas from somewhere because the Supercharger was PACKED in NOLA the other day by locals. That’s just leaving tax money on the table.

If you like Tesla or not, I am glad they are an American company.

I never understood why Tesla didn’t lean hard into the whole “american made” thing. Put it on the website, do something to call it out!

I think you mean they're YEXS
