EV Charging Networks: Tesla Leads the Way, Rivals Follow Suit

Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson believes that the priority should be on ultra-high voltage charging instead of the plug used to charge EVs, and therefore has reservations about adopting the Tesla North American Charging Standard (NACS) for the company's vehicles. Rawlinson argues that the charging infrastructure should be future-proof and support an ultra-high voltage charging standard of 1,000 volts. While other automakers are adopting the NACS, Lucid's luxury electric cars could risk being the odd one out if the company holds off on adopting the standard.
