SAE has finalized its NACS certification effort, and the new standard promises to fix a *lot* of the current issues with EV charging.

I hate that the title for the article claims “every problem” but I wanted to hear other users thoughts on this article

    Higher powered vehicles will need a NACS port and a type 2 port for three phase charging, then?

      Here in North America we don’t do three phase charging, we only really have single phase and DC charging. Other than the Nissan Leaf, pretty much every recent vehicle with DC fast charging uses CCS Type 1, which is essentially J1772 (a 5-pin AC connector) with two extra DC pins at the bottom. NACS/Tesla basically combines the DC pins with the two AC pins, so the port can be smaller.
