From Transport Evolved.
The transition away from CCS and toward NACS (North American Charging Standard) in the U.S. and Canada has caused quite a lot of speculation over the future of EV charging.
And on this channel, while we’ve pointed out that the transition to NACS won’t solve every issue (https://youtu.be/N17vaZrRQ98) we’ve also outlined some of the things that are required for such a transition to be smooth (https://youtu.be/DbC9oTppNhw)
At the start of this week, we were fairly convinced the news over charging had started to slow down. That was until a new joint partnership between seven large automakers promised to establish a new nationwide charging network that’s larger than Tesla and Electrify America combined (and then some).
More confusion or a good piece of news? Let’s get stuck in.
