Access to Tesla's #Supercharger network remains gate-kept by Tesla but the standard for the Tesla-style North American Charging Standard connectors (#NACS} will no longer be controlled by Tesla.
Instead, thanks in part to help from the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation {#JOET}, it will fall under the jurisdiction of SAE International, which has promised to expedite its efforts so that NACS can become an official standard within the next six months
Meanwhile more EV charging networks are adding support for Tesla-style NACS plugs.
#Blink revealed that it integrated #NACS into its level 2 and DC fast chargers.
And #ElectrifyAmerica, the country's largest non-Tesla charging network, announced it will add NACS plugs to its charging stations.
#Tesla opened up the latest version of its charging protocols to the wider auto industry in November 2022, renaming it the North American Charging Standard as it did so.
For a few months, nothing much happened, but in late May, #Ford signed a deal to adopt NACS and obtain access to Tesla's Supercharger network. Two weeks later, #GeneralMotors followed, then #Rivian, and #Volvo joined the club.
Most recently, #Honda has announced it will switch to the Tesla Supercharger System.
