"Several years ago, the majority of EV models in the U.S. used the Combined Charging System (CCS) standard. That is, with the exception of Tesla. In 2022, the automaker opened up the design for its charging connector and charge port - which it now calls the North American Charging Standard (NACS) - in an effort to encourage network operators and automakers to adopt the technology and help make it the new standard in North America."
"In addition to the existing NACS-to-CCS adapter for fast charging, GM will sell a NACS-to-J1772 adapter for Level 2 charging. (J1772 is the part of the CCS plug that handles slower charging speeds.) For future GM EVs that are built with NACS ports, the automaker will make a J1772-to-NACS adapter for Level 2 charging and a CCS-to-NACS dongle for fast charging."
GM is introducing three additional charging adapters to expand EV owner access across differing charging standards and rates. The new adapters complement an existing NACS-to-CCS fast-charging adapter and include a NACS-to-J1772 for Level 2 charging. Future GM EVs with NACS ports will have corresponding J1772-to-NACS and CCS-to-NACS dongles. Automakers and network operators have broadly adopted NACS after Tesla opened the design in 2022. The expanded adapter set increases charging flexibility and interoperability while raising complexity and the possibility that households may need multiple adapters for different chargers.
