First Non-Tesla NACS Car? (lemmy.world)

I know there was an avalanche of car manufacturers announcing the switch to NACS, but it looks like a lot of them are just giving drivers access to Tesla via a CCS adapter initially.

Has anyone announced a non-Tesla NACS native car yet?

Anyone that's asked me about an EV I've told to wait if they can for this very reason. I don't think you'd super regret getting an EV today but it sure will be nice to have everything converge on the same charging standard.

Yep. Waiting on NACS is the only reason I'm not driving a Rivian right now.

The ID.7 looks mighty tempting to me, but I'm committed to drive my model 3 till the wheels fall off. 120k miles down, will see how many more it has left.

I do hope by the time I'm ready to scrap everyone will have the charge port in a compatible location.

It does! If my wife didn't already have a Y, I'd probably keep my paid off truck and get something like the new Leaf or an ID.7 for myself, but I barely have space for two vehicles let alone three, and multiple kayaks + camping gear barely fit in my full size truck bed as it is :D

People don’t talk as much about how clunky CCS is. This cables are hefty and aligning them can be annoying on a cold day when the cable is stiff. Sure, it works, but it’s not a great experience.
