SAE International to standardize Tesla EV charging connector
June 28, 2023
SAE International will standardize the Tesla-developed North American Charging Standard connector for EVs, ensuring that any supplier or manufacturer will be able to use, manufacture, or deploy the NACS connector on EVs and at charging stations across North America, according to a press release.
Ford Motor Co., General Motors, Rivian and a number of EV charging companies recently announced plans to adopt the NACS connector through adaptors or future product offerings.
The standardization process is the next step to establish a consensus-based approach for maintaining NACS and validating its ability to meet performance and interoperability criteria.
The SAE NACS connector standard will be developed on an expedited timeframe and is one of several initiatives to strengthen the North American EV charging infrastructure.
