      I just think of it like everything transitioning to USB-C. It’s not good or bad really, it just is. Standardization in these types of situations is usually good but I’m sure some people will be upset that Tesla is involved.

        But is NACS open sourc? And license free? I am sceptic with Tesla having control over this. USB C is open standard.

        At the same time everything that can run on 5v is transitioning to NOT supplying said 5v power converter. I guess we are all supposed to have built in usb power outlets in every room.

          You are saying that like avoiding having a box of unused cables in every single household is a bad thing. Including an USB C cable with every device when the average household already has more than an handful of them is wasteful.

            I have like one (1) cable that is type C on one end. The rest is mostly type A (including, but not limited to extension cords using USB generation 2), micro, mini to micro or entirely different stuff like SATA, IDE, PC fan cables or Cat5 networking.

      As someone who isn’t sold on electric vehicles yet, this is a very good thing for me. Proprietary charging stations are one of my main reasons for not buying an EV yet.

        It’s so wild to me that the USA is such a clusterfuck of charging ports and networks. Here in Germany, we have bascially CCS for fast charging and a smaller plug (that is compatible) for slow charging. So every car can charge on every station - with very few expectations. Charging my car is as simple as charging my phone.

          well that’s mostly because the EU required that it become the standard. without similar regulation in the US it’s just taken a bit longer for all of the manufacturers to consolidate on one solution
