    This is where Telsa will be making her actual money. That network is so valuable and they have a little head start.

    I’m a little bitter that it’s Tesla with the better connector standard but ultimately if every EV in the US does switch to this, it will be a big improvement, especially as regards accessibility/disability concerns with being able to use the connector easily.

    Does anyone know, are other charging networks allowed to use NACS on their chargers too? Like will we see NACS handles on Electrify America eventually, or is Tesla wanting to keep chargers with NACS under their own production?

      They released it as an open standard back in November 2022, so it should be fair game for anyone to manufacture.
