The electric vehicle (EV) charging sector in North America is undergoing a transformation towards standardization. #Tesla's charging interface, once likened to Apple's Lightning, is now leading the industry with its open approach and the North American Charging Standard (NACS). SAE International has standardized #NACS, and a multitude of automakers, including Ford, General Motors, Toyota, and others, have joined in support. By 2026, new vehicles equipped with NACS are expected to hit the market.
In the meantime, Europe has already resolved its charging standard issues by adopting #CCS2. Currently, US EV owners of models like the Tesla Model Y and Kia EV6 still need to search for the right charging stations or adapters, but this situation is expected to improve in the future.
To promote the construction of electric vehicle infrastructure, the #U.S. federal government has established a $7.5 billion fund to support #charging network operators in building reliable facilities. With the unification of charging standards and the improvement of infrastructure, North America is poised to become a convenient region for EV ownership. Stay tuned for more news on electric vehicle charging.
