- Could Tesla’s charger ever be crowned the U.S. standard for EV charging?
Tesla has released the blueprints for its super-popular charging connector and named it the “North American Charging Standard,” or NACS. The idea is that any company could now place a Tesla port on their EV. But car manufacturers like Ford and Rivian use a different charging standard - CCS.
As the Biden Administration pushes to standardize EV charging across America, which standard will win? I explore what Tesla’s move means for automakers and EV chargers across America.

Which charging standard do you think should win?
Maybe if you educated us on their pros and cons, we'd know how to choose.
This video is absolutely useless.
Clearly the Tesla NACS is superior to CCS2 - much better design, less expensive to manufacture, more durable and easier to maintain!
We should’ve switched to type 2 and CCS 2 like the EU did.
J1772 and CCS should win.
"It's unlikely we're going to see makor automakers adopt this standard" - this statement aged like milk
In less than a year... 😮
I don't understand why this video wouldn't go over the pros and cons? You're just telling people Tesla is looking for the govt money, which could be correct, but shouldn't we choose the best adapter for consumers? You didn't educate us whatsoever on which port may be the best one. Kind of a useless video that only says "US is looking for a standard" and "Tesla only open sourced theirs for money to expand".
This is so true. His research is so myopic.
That's when you should realise that you have blow the lid of propagandist efforts my friend.
It’s called biased reporting for a reason 🙌
Read the video's title. It never mentions anything about comparing chargers, just why Tesla made theirs open source.
Because he doesn't know and didn't consult an electrical engineer about it
Honestly it would be more logical to convert CCS chargers to NACS than it would to convert NACS TO CCS.
I'd posit that it's more logical to convert all Tesla's to CCS. Sure Tesla owns 68% (but falling) market share in the US, but it's dwarfed by other EVs in the rest of the world (less than 10% in Worldwide). Why not all convert to the same standard? CCS is about 30% of worldwide market share, and the Chinese one is probably about 40%. Just because it would cost less to convert to NACS in the US doesn't mean it's the right decision
@@tijmenbuddingh6155 NACS reportedly has been designed to handle 1000KW charging while CCS is at 350KW (NACS could be faster). Also the CCS is heavy / bulk, granny might have difficulty plugging it in.
@@tijmenbuddingh6155 Why does the whole world need the same standard? How many cars are transported to a new continent? (excluding those that are directly transported from the factory)
@@tijmenbuddingh6155 so you want to USA use km and not miles? Why you try convert one country standard to other, when cars must be different anyway? Because you don't like Tesla, or simple you are from EU? Because there is no technical and economical reason to not use NACS in USA.
About car makers, NACS is cheaper to make, so is good for them, and for users is easier to use, so... why forcing CCS?
NACS is small, light, elegant👍 Already on board the NACS train: Aptera, Ford, GM, Flo, EVgo, FreeWire. CharIN CCS camp grumpy 😉
On the left you show a Tesla level 2 connector. On the right you show a CCS rapid charger connector.
Ford announced that they will be converting to Tesla's NACS so it looks like it will be the standard.
Add GM to the list. 😂
Looks like the best plug won.
Well, this hits different now.
Why didn’t you mention that the Tesla standard charger breaks less and is a fraction of the cost to produce? That’s why aptera is pushing for the Tesla standard.
Because it's BS
Source: Trust me bro
@@exp2745 unless there’s a specific issue, what he said should be true from a basic engineering standpoint as it’s smaller (cheaper) and has fewer pins to break
@@Redstoner2b2t oh shit the legend himself
I just don’t get why the chargers widely used ended up so bulky
Because ccs was based on j1772, an already bulkier, slower, charger. For ccs, they just tracked on two additional, beefy, connectors for higher power transfer.
Regular pump handles are way bigger so I don't think it's a problem either way
NACS charging standard designed by engineers to encourage EV adoption.
CCS charging standard designed by the ICE manufactures marketing department to discourage EV adoption, trying to keep EV’s from catching on. Looks like that plan has failed.
Looking forward to more evtol videos!
Looks like space and EV are now basically being run by a very cool guy bent on making the future the best place possible. It’s about time!
When go to fill up
I have several handles to choose from. One is petrol, one is diesel.
Why cant charging stations have more than one connector..
Stating the obvious
Some do, but they tend to only have one connector per parking spot. Likey because it would cause issues if two cars were stupid enough to plug into one charger at the same time.
I’ve never seen anyone use the diesel and gas pump at a gas station at the same time, and that’s been going for decades. I don’t see why it would be an issue now. Anyway just have the software make it so only one cable is powered at a time.
Aged like milk
3:59 "According to Automotive analysts, it's unlikely we're going to see major automakers adopt this standard..."
Fast forward to now and most of the large automakers have pledged to do just that. All of the US manufacturers have pledged to by 2025, as well as several international ones. And this is a good thing because while many non-NACS chargers are known for having issues, Tesla stations are significantly more reliable. One thing is for sure: Tesla is going to make a BOATLOAD of money from this.
WSJ should probably get a better tech reporter.. “I doubt any American auto maker will switch” 6months later ford and Gm announce they switch. 😂😂
Tesla is the best! I’m happy all the EV resistance are capitulated and Tesla is the only with over the air software. It’s a better product all around. The first one made by a real software and rocket scientist 😏 and eco friendly… the future must be 100% ev
Css is so bulky. It really seems like a poor design.
Very informative video 👍
Well this video didn't age well at all. It's only been 6 months, and Ford and GM both announced they're all in on Tesla's NACS charger, which means pretty much everyone else has to adopt it as well. Game over, CCS. Thanks for playing 🤣🤣🤣
⚡️
4:01 this comment didn’t age well lol 6 months and now two major automakers made the switch. 😂
What I want to see is more use of CCS type charging connector.
They're too bulky. NACS all the way
Oops
Fact:
I was born and raised in Germany and am now living in the US (specifically Austin, Texas), and since I bought my Tesla X, I will never buy an EV with CCS (1&2) & CHADEMO charging port, as they are not just UGLY, but they are also OPD TECHNOLOGY, HEAVY & BULKY.
I wish that EVERY EV manufacturer will use TESLA charging port (NACS) 😊and be done with it, period.
Have a great day to y'all! 0:01
Thanks, George. Good video!
Idk. Nacs seems to be more logical.
All Tesla has to do is open up their supercharger network, create a Tesla to CCS adapter for current CCS cars, and they would crush all other EV charging companies. No other charging company comes close to Tesla Supercharger reliability. Not a single one.
Hi, I'm the WSJ and I hate Tesla. I don't care about facts and I'm only interested in making Tesla look bad. Me good!
Tesla does not make ads. Media feeds on ads. No wonder.

The technology of the batteries that power EVs is evolving very quickly. New ones will have much greater capacity, and may not even use lithium, an element too explosively and uncontrollably inflammable to be used for very much longer in hundreds of millions of EVs across the world. The probability is that neither of these two charging connectors will be in use beyond a decade from now. Rather, they're both likely to become irrelevant as prospective owners of EVs increasingly demand that manufacturers of EVs replace the current, already-outmoded - and time-wasting - EV charging station setup. In typical WSJ/New York Times fashion, this presentation obfuscates rather than informs in depth. A venerable maxim in the U.S. financial industry has it that "those who talk, don't know, and those who know, don't talk." The actual reason many - if not most - people build careers on Wall Street is to obtain timely (but legal) insider knowledge - knowledge which makes fast money. Moreover, as a 30-years-long reader of the WSJ, I've never found this venerable newspaper to have predicted a single important technological development. This video presents a false dilemma engendered by what used to be known as a "pseudo-problem"- loosely speaking, a problem that arises from distorted verbal constructs - "problems" that vanish as soon as we see through the foggy verbiage that conceals "non-problems." In this instance, the pseudo-problem is a putative struggle for preeminence between two already-obsolete technologies and their backers as to which of two competing charging connectors will win out as a permanent presence at charging stations across the U.S.
After what Musk just pulled off with the Hunter Biden Twitter thing, he can forget about it…
Yep, that's the way politics works!
Sorry Tesla it's a little to late the industry has picked the CCS plug
Living under a rock?
@@raddestdoctor things change in a hurry I maybe wrong on this one with Tesla opening up their technology to the industry
Good reporting
