    I think with Ford and GM adopting NACS, CCS1 is dead in the US. It’s just a matter of time until CCS plugs will be replaced and older cars will need to use an adapter.

    I’m just happy that there will be a single standard. I’d have preferred that it wasn’t the one that tesla can exert some control over, but it is a more user friendly connector.

        Replacement happens at the stall level, not location level. There are a lot more NACS stalls than CCS.

        To be fair, they’re not all gonna be suddenly replaced. The manufacturers are going to start producing cars in 2025, and it’ll be a fair few years on top of that before the majority of cars on the road are actually using NACS plugs, long enough that a good chunk of the infrastructure will have to be replaced or modified anyways.

        While Tesla should’ve just backed down and adopt the existing standard like in other markets, I don’t think this is the worst thing in the world.
