From the article:
ChargePoint, one of the companies racing to put EV charging stations all over the US, announced today that it is beginning to roll out support for the NACS connector that is quickly becoming the national standard. ChargePoint stations that have previously used other ports and power sources can start to use the Tesla-created plug in November, and the company says it now offers “every necessary cable solution to charge an EV in North America and Europe.”
The company first said it would add NACS plugs to some of its stations in June, as the standards organization SAE International announced that the NACS (which stands for “North American Charging Standard”) port would be standardized for cars in North America. A number of car makers have since said they plan to make NACS-capable cars and offer adapters for their existing models.
ChargePoint quickly began making new stations with NACS plugs. Now it’s shipping “cable upgrade kits” to existing DC fast chargers around the country — hundreds of thousands of them, the company says — so they can upgrade their setup, both to better support Tesla charging and to be more compatible with the future of EVs. Those using ChargePoint’s in-home Home Flex system can get NACS cables even sooner.
All of the ChargePoint chargers around where I am seem to still have CHAdeMO. Maybe just replace CHAdeMO with NACS?
@steinbring It will be a couple years before all of the automakers which are adopting NACS will have those models out, so there is time to transition. My guess is any older EV models with older connectors will need NACS adapters as stations are gradually migrated to NACS.
Next I hope that more stations are built and start to include a convenience store with a coffee shop since people could be there a while. It could be like a lounge.
