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.
williamallenbro ( @williamallenbro@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year agoI 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!
al_the_alligator ( @al_the_alligator@reddthat.com ) 1•1 year agoAs 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.
Domiku ( @Domiku@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year agoI 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.
