GM joining the parade likely means that CCS chargers in North America will have to upgrade to NACS (or die). Luckily it sounds like it should be a relatively straightforward upgrade for some of them: NACS still speaks the CCS data standards so a lot of firmware mostly doesn't need to change. I think the only real exception is that NACS mandates the CCS "plug and charge" standard and CCS1 left it "optional" for some dumb reasons. That NACS requirement, if it is indeed a requirement, will do a ton to clean up the other charger networks: fewer apps, fewer terminal interactions, just plug the car in and let it securely speak the user's CC information in the handshake.
