• North American Charging Standard

Who created NACS?

• Tesla introduced NACS charging in 2012 with the launch of its Model S sedan and its own proprietary Supercharger network

Is NACS available in Europe?

• No. At least not yet.The charging standard is just beginning to be hailed as the new method of charging in North America only. Europe still primarily uses the CCS Type 2 standard. That could always change though, but it will take time.

What automakers have committed to NACS so far?

• There is more and more each day, but major ones to note are Tesla (obviously), Ford, GM, and Aptera. Other legacy automakers like Stellantis have not ruled out switching to NACS but are not ready to commit just yet.

What are the advantages of the NACS plug?

• The NACS plug is smaller and more compact and offers more seamless access to Tesla’s growing Supercharger Network – arguably the most reliable and established on the planet.

Will older EV models be able to use Tesla chargers?

• Yes. Tesla is in the process of opening its charger network up to most all EVs, whether they have NACS capabilities or not. Older or CCS-type EVs will be able to connect using Tesla’s Magic Dock adapter.
