More than 90% now. At this point the only meaningful player who hasn't announced their conversion to NACS is VW.

- jjtheblunt 3y agoI wonder if any of these companies will have retrofit kits
- stetrain 3y agoIt's probably difficult to retrofit. CCS provides different wire harnesses in the vehicle for AC and DC power. NACS requires shared conductors for AC and DC power from the charge port to some point that can handle switching between them. External adapters are simple and will be available, since you can have different adapters for AC and DC charging to avoid needing active switching.
- photonbeam 3y agoI really want the ev minivan they’re making, but not without a nacs plug
- kllrnohj 3y agoWhy? The adapters are cheap and plentiful since NACS is using the CCS protocols, so it's just a physical connector difference
- kccqzy 3y agoThe adapters will be cheap and plentiful. They aren't available yet.
- Rebelgecko 3y agoHas anyone announced their adapter pricing?
- photonbeam 3y agoMy prediction is that non-nacs sockets on cars will tank resale value
- kllrnohj 3y agoSo far all EVs have tanked in resale value.
- 1970-01-01 3y agoStellantis, which is the 4th manufacturer globally, still holding firm to evaluate a NACS switch. The evaluation phase has been done for them by every other manufacturer at this point. They need to jump or die.
