Tesla's EV Charging Standard Gains Momentum Among Competitors and Government Officials

Support for Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) has accelerated since Ford and GM announced plans to integrate the technology into their next-generation EVs and sell adapters for current EV owners to gain access. More than a dozen third-party charging networks and hardware companies have publicly backed NACS, and even CharIN, the global association founded to promote the adoption of the Combined Charging System (CCS) connectors, is starting to waver and will create a task force to submit NACS to the standardization process. However, the White House has said that EV charging stations with Tesla standard plugs would be eligible for federal subsidies as long as they also included the CCS charging connector.
