Tesla’s connector, now known as the North American Charging Standard (NACS), is truly living up to its name as the GM announcement gets the domino effect going with EV charging station companies now adopting the standard.
When GM CEO Mary Barra and Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced their cooperation for General Motors to integrate NACS as the connector in its future electric vehicles, they basically declared that the connector is now the new standard in North America.
They have a good argument for it, considering it is already the most popular connector thanks to how big Tesla’s fleet is alone, and now with Ford and GM on board, it will be hard to stop.
We expect a domino effect to take place and all other automakers and charging station companies operating in North America to announce that they will adopt NACS.
It has already started with Flo, a Quebec-based EV charging station company with over 90,000 chargers, announcing it will offer NACS on its charging stations and “supports broader use” of the standard.
