Tesla’s success with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) used by its Supercharger network — now widely adopted across the industry — has paved the way for this new proposal. However, widespread acceptance of LVCS across manufacturers might present more challenges, as automakers are generally less uniform in internal connectivity than charging ports.
