With any luck they won't be grandfathered in w/ compatibility or time limited / billed extra. Time based usage may be a wise thing to implement to limit a bolt spending 90 minutes on a charger.Well there goes the neighborhood. Watch all the Bolts line up.
With a lot of the dual cable chargers, it only makes sense to make one CCS and the other NACS.If two major US automakers adopt NACS, the % of NACS cars will increase dramatically. Current CCS chargers will either have to provide NACS plugs or adapters to cater to the NACS vehicles. In their calculations, they probably assumed all new cars except Tesla would all use CCS.
People can always carry NACS to CCS adapters, but I wonder if the average public would bother. They may just opt for Tesla chargers to avoid the hassle.
During the call to make the announcement, Barra and Musk basically declared that NACS is now the standard in North America over CCS.Our vision of the all-electric future means producing millions of world-class EVs across categories and price points, while creating an ecosystem that will accelerate mass EV adoption. This collaboration is a key part of our strategy and an important next step in quickly expanding access to fast chargers for our customers. Not only will it help make the transition to electric vehicles more seamless for our customers, but it could help move the industry toward a single North American charging standard.
