It’s surprising how fast the dominos are falling ever since GM announced they will use NACS. Were these state decisions already being made recently and just happened to be announced around this time? I just find it hard to believe that state government institutions were able to meet and decide on this so quickly otherwise.
Tesla has been working with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) to make their plug an actual standard. That was approved, and so manufacturers and governments are now announcing their own plans to use it. They were already making those plans, but wouldn’t announce before the SAE indicated they’d approve it.
Ah okay. That makes more sense. And the SAE approval happened recently?
