SK Signet, a South Korea based provider of electric vehicle charging solutions, will add the North American Charging Standard connection capabilities to the product design of its chargers, according to a press release. SK Signet has started development of chargers that meet NACS standards and expects to release a compliant product in 2023.

SK Signet will continue to provide customers with the option of other widely used standards for EV charger connections, including the combined charging system, CHAdeMO and Megawatt charging system standards.

SK Signet charging solutions support more than 40 EV models offered in North America.

EV owners with vehicles designed for NACS, previously known as the Tesla charging connector, already are using SK Signet chargers by adding adapters to existing connectors. The new option of NACS connections on SK Signet chargers will enhance accessibility for these EV owners.

The option for NACS, CCS, CHAdeMO and MCS connectors will be offered to customers on SK Signet's full line-up of chargers made at the company's recently opened Plano,Texas plant.
