Anyone out there excited or dreading the conversion to NACS? It seems like most major automakers in NA have committed to moving over from CCS.

I would suggest that auto makers provide adapters to owners of vehicles still using CCS. They won’t, but it would be nice.
To have a reliable standard would mean crossing the next big hurdle for mass adoption. Charging is a mess right now and that steers people away. I say bring it on!

As owner of an F150L it make me wonder of there will be a retrofit kit to just change the cars plug. It is not 100 percent yet but I think CCS is dead in North America.

I don’t really care what standard we use as long as we pick one!
The NACS physical connector is definitely sleeker, and it sounds like it uses the CCS protocols anyway. I just hope that drivers of older Chevy/Ford vehicles either get an adapter or retrofit kit.

It means I might have to carry an adapter for a bit and have my car’s charging wiring updated. I honestly don’t care too much as long as it’s a real standard.
