On: Rivian is the next automaker to adopt Tesla’s charging plugs

[kanbara]

one thing i really dislike is the disingenuous nature of calling NACS a standard because one wills it to be so.

it’s definitely more compact with thinner cables, and since CCS1 and CCS2 are different, it’s almost a half dozen of one situation.

i just bought a CCS vehicle and am fine with NACS with adapters or whatever, but i do hope that manufacturers can still provide locking mechanisms. my biggest gripe with tesla is that you can simpy unplug someone else’s car.

Isn’t it equally disingenuous to call CCS1 a standard when it’s the minority of charging stalls in the US?

This is not true, the locking mechanism of NACS is built into the car, not the plug handle.
