SAE International works with Tesla towards standardising NACS for industry-wide adoption after Ford, GM, Rivian, and ChargePoint jump ship from CCS-1

[Redaktion]

As more electric vehicle makers have joined the Tesla NACS bandwagon, the Society of Automotive Engineers International has seen fit to standardise Tesla's formerly-proprietary charging standard. While this step may seem insignificant, it goes a long way to legitimising the NACS connector as an open standard and alleviating some of the complaints levelled at the design by opponents to its widespread adoption. As part of the standardisation process, the SAE will develop the SAE NACS standard.

It's funny that the reason why Tesla didn't opt for CCS was that SAE completely ignored them in favor of automakers who never even built an EV or were serious about EVs. I guess they have finally come around to actually listening to someone with real field expertise and actual interest in making EVs?

Though I do wonder what changes they plan to propose, I hope it isn't taking a NACS connector and sticking a CCS connector on top of it
