Ford and GM are probably regretting that switch to NACS…
Why? For one, Ford has scaled back it’s EV transition in favor of hybrids now, and two, there’s now a bunch of engineers looking for a job and charging sites up for grabs
That’s true, a lot of talent now available.
Last I heard Ford scaled back EV expansion because they overestimated adoption based on the sales of the Lightning, but they were still planning on an increase in production. Just not the 50% estimate they started with.
Make the Maverick a plug in hybrid already!
government should either nationalise teslas network or work with other companies to switch to a new standard
Good news! NACS is being adopted as an SAE standard (J3400)
This team will hopefully find jobs elsewhere very easily. Competitors should take this opportunity to hire skilled workers.
Laughs in J1772 + CCS
This is bad for us too, because cars were already being developed with NACS since CCS “lost the war” in the US. What kind of uptake will those cars have with a network that has completely stopped growing because manbaby decided to take his toys and go home?
The auto manufacturers will blame everything but the fact that most EVs are overpriced and overcomplicated to compensate for them being ultra-reliable and no longer in need of constant maintenance. This country already killed EVs once, don’t put it past capitalism to try a second time.
The good news is that NACS is being adopted as an SAE standard (J3400), so further development is outside Tesla.
If the Tesla Network fails then anyone with a Tesla plug will just buy an adapter to whatever standard does take over.
J1772 is great for home charging, but for charging on road trips you really need CCS or NACS. The good news is NACS is being adopted as an SAE standard (J3400)
You’re right!
