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!

    Sorry is this related question is dumb… will the future NACS stations have a CCS adapter like I’ve seen on some Tesla stations, or will I need to carry my own CCS adapter for a few years until I get my next EV?

      The manufacturers that have said they are switching to NACS and getting Supercharger access have said they will make adapters available to their existing customers.

      Seems like Tesla is going to be adding more built-in adapters going forward, but they probably aren’t going to go back and add them to the 15,000 existing chargers, or if they do it will take a few years.

      It is likely that an adapter will be needed at many locations. Tesla can quickly retrofit magicdock but is mostly doing that to increase revenue at rural Superchargers with low utilization.
