It can’t be worse than driving a Model S or X in the UK. Dongle for CCS2 and the driver being on the wrong side, forced to use The Reacher.
With NACS becoming more and more universal, and soon to be a true standard, will we also see fast charging of other devices like e-bikes and lawn tools using the standard?
Feels too bulky and complicated for an e-bike or handheld lawn tools, riding lawn mower though… maybe?
If the AC to DC conversion is done inside the device then a kettle plug seems like enough to effectively max out a standard outlet. If it’s being done outside of the device I guess it depends on the wattage they can pull, USB-C could do 240W… idk if there is another standard that can carry ~1KW of DC power.
Just have some copper wires with you.
I guess the US is just okay with Tesla having a monopoly on EVs?
What is stopping Elon Musk having a fallout with an another car company in the future, pulling the licensing deal for the charging port and stopping their ability to produce cars?
Are all other cars in the US doomed to be 2nd tier? Why would Tesla share improvements to charging rate when it could use new versions of the charging system to sell Teslas?
How is it okay for there to be one price for electricity for Tesla owners and a higher price for non-Tesla owners?
The SAE is standardising the plug to minimise the chance of that happening. As garbage of a human Musk is, the Tesla / NACS plug is a much better design than the other standards.
