"Electric Vehicle Industry Continues to Evolve Charging Standards with High-Voltage and NACS Connectors"

Lucid Motors CEO, Peter Rawlinson, appears reluctant to adopt Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) due to its lower voltage output, which limits the ability to fast charge cars with higher voltage batteries. Rawlinson believes that the high-voltage (1,000 volts) is fundamental to increase efficiency and reduce losses. Lucid's ultra-high efficiency, long-range, and ultra-fast charging capability are supported by the Combined Charging System (CCS1) charging standard, which fully supports the voltage level of up to 900 V. Lucid is interested in bidirectional charging and supporting overnight/home charging.

Hyundai Considers Tesla's Charging Connector and Network

Hyundai Motor is considering switching from the CCS1 to Tesla's NACS charging connector in North America, but only if it is in the best interest of its customers. The main issue is whether the NACS standard will support higher voltage than currently used by Tesla (around 400 V) to maximize the fast charging speed of Hyundai's latest all-electric cars. If issues are solved, then the company is willing to make the switch to the NACS. The decision behind the switch to NACS will be more political because it will likely include not only Hyundai Motor Group but the whole country, including its infrastructure and other manufacturers operating in South Korea.

Tesla's Dominance in EV Charging Space Continues to Grow with Major Industry Players Following Suit.

Ford and General Motors have signed up for Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) charging connector, which could lead to the demise of the Combined Charging System (CCS1) connector. As Tesla, Ford, and GM control around three-quarters of the entire battery-electric vehicle (BEV) segment in the United States, the question is who will be next to switch to NACS. Start-ups like Rivian and Lucid may decide quickly, while established brands like Volkswagen and Stellantis may be more reluctant. Charging equipment manufacturers are also adding the NACS plug option to their chargers.

"Tesla Superchargers Eligible for Public Funds, Accelerating EV Adoption"

Tesla's Superchargers will be eligible for federal subsidies if they include a "standard connection" - Combined Charging System (CCS1). Tesla plans to open its Supercharging network to all BEVs, which requires compatibility with CCS1 vehicles. The company is installing a Magic Dock built-in CCS1 adapter to its Superchargers and will install many new CCS1-compatible Superchargers to get access to federal subsidies. The announcement comes at a time when the industry might switch from CCS1 to NACS, following Ford's and General Motors' announcement to use NACS in the future.

Ford's EV Strategy: Embracing Tesla's Charging Technology.

Two charging companies, Electrify America and FreeWire Energy, have responded to Ford's decision to adopt Tesla's NACS charging connector, signaling a shift in the industry. While Electrify America reiterated its commitment to the CCS1 standard, it expressed flexibility and a willingness to adapt to an evolving charging landscape. FreeWire Energy announced plans to make the NACS connector available on future stations, but also plans to continue supporting CCS. The responses indicate that the industry is trying to be flexible and open to better solutions, which could lead to innovation and competition.
