Tesla's Charging Connector Sparks Debate Over Standardization
TL;DR Summary
Industry body CharIN has said that Tesla's charging model is not yet a standard and does not provide an open charging ecosystem for the EV industry. However, US automakers General Motors and Ford have said they will adopt Tesla's model of charging cars with their vehicles having North American Charging Standard (NACS) ports, starting 2025. CharIN will convene a task force with the goal of submitting NACS to the standardisation process.
