No apps, no swipes – every EV will get Supercharger-like charging in 2025
- floxy 2y agoThat sounds great! From the *.gov site [0], it seems like testing will begin in 2025. I just wonder how long it will take to actually roll out to charging station and vehicles? Will this be for CCS, NACS, and J1772? CHAdeMO? [0] https://driveelectric.gov/news/universal-plug-and-charge https://driveelectric.gov/news/universal-plug-and-charge
- JojoFatsani 2y agoAll manufacturers are moving to NACS.
- floxy 2y agoEventually. Plenty of non-NACS cars on the road today.
- tzs 2y agoTechnology Connections, the well-known YouTube technology explainer, has some things to say about this [1] on his Bluesky and it is interesting. I don't recall him ever swearing on the YouTube channel. > I am once again screaming at the top of my lungs that absolutely nobody would give a shit about this if Tesla hadn't decided to reinvent the wheel in typical techbro fashion and convinced the public that plug & charge is such a magic benefit compared to putting fucking card readers on the chargers. > The comments on this article make my head spin. > Yes, activating non-tesla chargers is a stupid awful experience involving too many goddamn apps and failed sessions. > And that's entirely the result of cost-cutting bean counters who couldn't figure out how to reliably build a fucking vending machine.

- inemesitaffia 2y agoHe was very much annoyed that car companies switched to NACS. Plug & Charge and Auto Charge are at least 5 years old. I don't know what version this is
- floxy 2y agoWhy should we be mad at plug-and-charge? Because it is different? What is the downside?
