What is NACS?

North American Charging Standard — Tesla's connector, now adopted by many automakers.

NACS (North American Charging Standard) is the compact connector Tesla uses for AC and DC charging. Ford, GM, Rivian, and others are switching to NACS ports on new models.

Adapters let older CCS or J1772 cars use NACS stations, and vice versa, while the public network transitions.
