Several car companies, including Ford, GM, Rivian, Volvo, and Polestar, have announced plans to adopt Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) starting in 2025, making Tesla's charging tech the dominant standard. This shift raises questions about why non-Tesla EV shoppers would buy now when their charging technology will soon be in the minority. Experts suggest that buyers should consider delaying their purchase for the next two years to avoid potential obsolescence. The transition away from the Combined Charging System (CCS) will take time, but with the industry moving towards NACS, CCS will become less popular. Additionally, as EV technology continues to improve, including range, charging speed, and cost, consumers may opt to wait for more advanced and stable options.

General Motors and Ford have announced that they will adopt Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) for their electric vehicles beginning in 2025, expanding charging access for their EV owners. Tesla's charging technology is already the most common EV charger in North America, with nearly 7,000 charging stations in the US. Tesla vehicles made up 64.5% of all EVs sold in the US in 2022, while Ford held the second-largest market share with 7.5%.

Major US automakers Ford and General Motors are adopting Tesla's charging technology for their electric vehicles, pushing the industry towards a de-facto standard in the US. However, the Biden administration endorsed a rival charging technology when setting the rules for companies seeking access to $7.5bn in federal infrastructure funding. The still-burgeoning electric vehicle market is facing a split between two incompatible charging standards, which could either slow the adoption of EVs or cause Washington to sink hundreds of millions of dollars into chargers that the cars and trucks of the future won’t use.
