Hi everyone,

As the owner of an ID.4, I’ve been watching the news closely for any information on whether or not Volkswagen will switch from CCS to NACS.

It seems improbable that they wouldn’t, especially since Electrify America is installing NACS on it’s chargers, but what do you think is likely to happen?

Thanks!

    It’s at least partly because the US is the only market where this is even a question, and it’s a smaller EV market than either China or the EU.

        Ah, yes, fair enough. Even the US is probably big enough to justify it, frankly. I just mean to point out that it isn’t actually weird that companies go CCS by default.

          it isn’t actually weird that companies go CCS by default.

          VWs in China use GB/T and CCSv2 in Europe isn’t the same as CCSv1 in North America. The Charge port has always needed to be manufactured specifically for each region.

          It made sense to default to CCSv1 in N.A. when most of the industry was doing the same. It doesn’t anymore.
