Every competitor that has said they're adopting NACS has stated the earliest it'd be would be 2025. Tesla is rumored to be deploying 800+V systems for the Cybertruck, so I fully expect there will be plenty of 800V capable superchargers by the time we start seeing NACS on other cars.
Also, the only cars I'm aware of that use 800V for the super fast charge rates are Hyundai, Kia, and Porsche, none of which have yet agreed to NACS yet.

More cars will be on 800 volt platforms in a couple of years. Tesla better get upgrading.
- hbarka 3y agoWe can see an alternate future where NACS becomes so successful and then Mr Musk goes on a tantrum and decides on building another Tesla plug. What reasons could compel him to backtrack or is it too late?
- Kirby64 3y agoSure, the EA 350 kW is capable of 800V. Good point about smaller brands that do have some 800V offerings. Pretty small amount of cars shipped, though, compared to Hyundai/Kia.
- CameronNemo 3y agoWait isn't this exactly what the original commenter is concerned about? The charging infrastructure will lag the state of the art until Tesla's car business can catch up. I guess that does assume nobody else builds better chargers in the meantime.
