Tesla NACS Charger Adoption Tracker - On May 25, CEO Jim Farley announced that in 2025, Ford would use the Tesla NACS charge port connector to its second generation EVs, in replacement of the CCS connector. And that beginning in early 2024, Ford BEVs would be able to access Tesla Superchargers via an adapter.

We've done 2 6,000+ miles road trips in our M3LR. In 2019 and in 2022. A couple National parks were only doable using campgrounds (which we stayed at). Glacier (East side), Crater of the Moon, Lassen Volcanic, Olympic and Mesa Verde. If you only drive from city to city connected by interstates it's good.
I-70 through Colorado is what the rest of the country needs to get to in DCFC. With chargers every 25 miles, there is no stopping early, or charging too full.
I think there are 3 fast chargers, at least, every 25 miles on I-70 west of Denver.
SO ONLY 3 chargers is thought to be enough at those stations? Or enough for the current level of EV'S?@777Outrigger
@@tireddad6541 I should say 3 charging stations every 25 miles, and most of them with 2 or more charging posts. You never have problems with wait times along this route.
Just did 2200 miles round trip from CT to Illinois and back. No issues. Superchargers in Ohio are more built out than in previous years. More would be better, but works good now.
I hope that a progressive state (like Washington!) starts to require chargers for apartments. It does not have to be 100%. Individuals could pay 1,000 and apartments and/or utilities could pay the rest. It would start individually and the experience gained could be a basis for expansion.
For me personally, my opinion is destination chargers, like Teslas multiformat charger should be incentivized to be put at locations where the longer you stay the more money you spend for instance grocery stores, shopping centers, malls amusement parks, national parks, and this could drastically alleviate the pressure from supercharger locations.
Just my opinion .
Thanks for the great channel 🙏🏽
Level two type chargers where people tend to spend longer times. Places where people tend to spend short times, 30 minutes for example, need Superchargers. Work and school parking lots would be great places for L2 charging.
Grocery stores and fast food restaurants seem to be excellent places for rapid chargers. People who need to depend on public chargers could use those chargers about once per week, doing things they would normally do.
I have driven through 24 of the lower 48 States in my Model 3. I keep Tesla, Electrify America and ChargePoint on my phone for backup charging.
One must be more alert and pay attention to the software nanny when she tells you that you have exceeded the range.take immediate action.
The hassle is less about the number of states and more about the routes through them. Every state has gaps, so far.
@@FutureAZA , thanks, Brian. So true. My policy is to get a full charge if I’m going into an area between Interstate hwys. I had to make a 24 mile backtrack to Laredo at one point , on the Interstate, and was glad that I did.
I’ve found that certain hotel chains have EV charging on the property or within a couple of miles, I’m a regular customer to those hotels.
I have a MY Lr, that I did have some range anxiety when going to Bartlesville OK, the nearest supercharger is over 50 miles away, but I stopped at a non-tesla charger (Francis Energy), with an adapter. It was more expensive, but it worked. BTW Francis is known for small towns away from other chargers, but they do it reliably in small out of the way places but at a price.
Brian and Herbert, the tech TH-camrs, are reviewing the latest smart refrigerator.
Brian says, "This fridge is incredible! It can even order groceries for you when you're running low."
Herbert responds, "That's cool, but can it remind me where I left my car keys?"
Brian laughs, "It might, if you keep them in the vegetable drawer!"
The only real problem with chargers in Texas and Oklahoma is the "heat" affecting those Superchargers. They tend to no be covered and experience the full 150F heat of the Summer. Charging during the day reduces chargers to around the 56-57kw range, if you charge at night they seem to go back up to 150-250kw. Doesn't matter if its a Tesla Supercharger or Francis Energy. During the Spring and Fall the dramatic Temp swings also seem to loosen lug terminals and they have to service them more often.
The layoffs didnt impact a Tesla SC i use occasionally. Construction wprk was going on before the layoffs and is now finished.

My understanding is that Tesla will open Supercharger stations where there is extra/ample capacity. Not at the crowded stations. And, at the same time, Tesla will be installing more chargers in areas where demand is stretching supply. Remember, Tesla has real good data....
It really should be the global standard.
You cannot use any outlet. It needs to be able to support a heavy use continuously for a long period. We threw a breaker and burnt out a switch on that circuit.
We have some outlets rated for 7 amps and some 12 in the garage.
We had the electrician check and he suggested use the 12 amp a few inches from the main panel, and he install a 240 outlet.
We only have two Chevy Volt that take about 4 hours each on the 240. So we use a level one on the 12 amp and the 240.
How do you get an outlet rated for 7 amps? The smallest conductors are 14 AWG with a 15 amp breaker. For continuous duty it is rated for 12 amps which is what the Tesla mobile charger sets the charge rate at. A 20 amp/12 AWG circuit is rated got 16 amps for continuous duty. You can identify this when you plug has a horizontal contact and a vertical along with the ground.
How do you get a 7 amp circuit? Just curious, I have just never seen such a circuit in a house.
@@bryanwhitton1784 I didn't ask.
Mercedes announcement of NACS adoption from a year ago may see delays because of Mercedes slowing EV programs and Tesla firing all of their Supercharger team. Mercedes and others already had full access to L1/L2 Destination chargers at many hotels and various locations. But getting full Supercharger access starts with CCS plug adapters, or native NACS ports on their EVs. The key point for full Supercharger access is having Tesla's team evaluate the automaker's on-board vehicle chargers and software, give full approval, and have their vehicles (and customers) added to Tesla's charging app. Maybe this has already come together with Mercedes. I am not sure yet. But so far, this is good news.
Cheers guys🤣
Afternoon guys
In fact my only issue with Elon regarding layoffs or fired employees and especially the Charging team was how Tesla communicated with their partners for both the charging adapters and of course the Tesla Charging Network especially with API for payment processing with the OEM apps.
Of course, Tesla is hiring again but how is the current communication with these Tesla partners? I just don’t know.
I'm no kid, but I don't do NAC because Tesla still hasn't opened its network to my 2020 Bolt EV or to GM vehicles generally. Apparently, GM already has adapters and software updates, but they're not distributing them presumably because they haven't reached an agreement with Tesla yet.
Fortunately, the CCS network meets my needs though more charging options would make road trips a bit easier. I never have many options on plugshare and sometimes worry about finding the charger I need out of service. It has never happened, and I've never waited more than five minutes for a charge on a road trip, but I'd like to see GM join Ford soon, and I'm not sure why it hasn't happened yet. Within a hundred miles of my house, home charging is more convenient and less costly than pumping gas.
@restonthewind
"Tesla hasn't opened......"?
Flipping the "Blame" again.
The Tesla network has been on offer for a decade, with the reasonable request of "Play nice, contribute to expansion and maintenance", but nobody showed interest until it became... "necessary" (Basically, they had no choice)
@@rogerstarkey5390 I'm not blaming anyone. It's a fact that I still can't use the network though Ford EV drivers can. I don't know why GM is late to the game, but I do know that Tesla must permit GM vehicles to use its network.
My e-Golf does just fine on 120v. We just got a model Y and aren’t sure if we need to get a level 2 installed. Luckily my wife works right around the corner from our municipal offices where there’s a level 2 ChargePoint location that only charges the electricity rate we pay at home.
I charged my Model Y Long Range on 120v for six months, and it worked out fine. I rarely drive hundreds of miles on back to back days.
My son in law lives in Lincoln Nebraska with a Model 3 and he was heading to South Dakota and he had to go East, then North, then West to get to his destination last year. Now I see that Tesla just installed a Supercharger in Norfolk Nebraska and now he should be able to go North without having to drive around. I was shocked to see that out of the way Supercharger but that is what it's going to take to convert more people into EVs.
If someone lives in an area without supercharging, they MUST have home charging. That makes it impossible for a lot of people.
NACS is only US/USMCA regional standard. All EVs sold there, and all chargers in the region will eventually transfer to NACS. Tesla should be leading this transition as they developed the standard. There us hardly any money Tesla to make here, as it us now a general patent (because of becoming the standard).
Similarly, CCS is the European standard.
Will other charging companies adopted the nacs cable on there chargers?
Chargers between Squamish and Cache Creek BC are only in paid parking in Whistler. Otherwise you're on your own with no cell reception. There are very few superchargers north of Cache Creek and none north of Prince George on the Alaska hwy through Yukon and certainly none in Canada's northern territories. It would be impossible to drive a Tesla to Prince Rupert and back without using non-Tesla chargers. Those are SLOW.
I agree that the convenience isn't there off the beaten path. Even doubling wouldn't cover everywhere. I understand the focus on high density, but it can be frustrating.
The Bearded Tesla Guy also said he likes to drive 80 mph.
A lot of highway outside of urban areas (non-coastal areas) have speed limits in the 70-75mph range.
Can you do a segment on how poorly the carmakers are providing the NACS adapters. Rivian said they would get them to us Rivian owners this Spring. They sent out a batch of 1,000 but that was it.
Ouch.
Yah, and our R1S launch edition is #117 according to the VIN and we haven’t received one yet…
🙋♂️BRIAN,I’m still using my 110 outlet 4,5 kWh and it overnight charges to 💯💚💚💚
I got by for six months with no issue.
One year for me
Has anyone started offering a j3400 refit for existing EVs?
Haven't seen it yet.

It doesn't matter, Mercedes will not build new EV for while & heavily investing in new ICE engine & vehicles. Waste of time & money.

Trump looks bad EVERY DAY. Have you seen his lunatic rants on social media?
Biden could have been comatose and I will still vote for him over Trump.
Again, not really the channel for this.
"NACS is DONE?" No. It's not. You didn't express this idea from your title page in the video, either. Clickbait. 👎
The subject needs as much clickbait as possible. How the f cares about NACS in the general population?

Well... If you don't, you should...

You're here, plus you feel the need to comment?

The author does not appear to be commenting on the Tesla based NACS system, but rather the NCAS system which I am completely unfamiliar with.
