SAE International plans to standardize the Tesla-developed North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector for electric vehicles (EVs). This follows various companies, including Ford, General Motors, Rivian, and Volvo, announcing their switch from the SAE J1772 Combined Charging System (CCS) to the NACS. The decision means that the NACS, initially not a consensus-based standard, could become the standard through widespread adoption. The standardization process, which aims to make the NACS universally accessible for use, manufacturing, or deployment, is slated to be completed expediently. It will ensure that all light-duty vehicles in North America use a single charging plug, promoting compatibility across different EVs and charging stations.
