    The manufacturers that are converting over to NACS, should put their charging ports on the back-left of the car. This will make parking at a fast-charging station universal. If not, parking will be a disaster with some people backing in or sticking out of the stall. I've seen it many times at the CCS network.

      Have you *seen* how many vehicle operators lack the ability to properly back in their vehicle? FWIW, I'm 100% with putting connectors either in aft-port (so they can back in) OR fore-starboard / mid-fore (so they can pull in). But seeing how people struggle to actually back in has me concerned.

      @rogerphelps9939 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      They won't. Petrol fillers may be towards the back but there was never any agreement about which side and that is unlikely to change with EV charge ports. Actually having it at the front like a Nissan Leaf is best because then you can drive through with the charger on either side with no need to reverse, just like you go past a petrol pump.

    I have a non Tesla EV. The only part of the EV experience I hate is the CCS charging cable and connector. I am a senior with some arthritis in my hand and find the cable is awkward to handle and the connector difficult to plug in for L3 charging. I have tried hefting the Tesla cable, what a pleasure.
    I have noticed in the last few months a dramatic improvement in the reliability of the EA chargers in my area.

    • @doncooper2344
      @doncooper2344 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Have both and use both. For DC charging, the Tesla cables are smaller and easier to handle because they are shorter. The difference in the connectors is largely insignificant. Note that the shorter cable means that many non-Tesla vehicles will take up two charging spots and some may not be able to charge at all. Given that CCS also eliminated the issue of using the same pins for DC and AC charging, for general use it was probably a better standard. The actual charging protocols are/were the same so no benefit on that front.

    I’ve been using the J1772 and CCS adapters for over a year with my Tesla Model Y on Electrify America, EVGo, Volta, ChargePoint, OPConnect, Blink, EV Connect, and EVCS. I’ve occasionally had some issues but I report them and they usually respond fairly quickly to fix whatever the issue is that I’m experiencing. Worst case scenario, I just go to a different station or the nearest Tesla Supercharger. Tesla has the most reliable network by far and I’m actually happy that other people will get to experience it. Once Porsche makes the switch to NACS, I might consider a Taycan.

      It may well be a good design, and hopefully this will work out, but I have my suspicions that in the US, where money rules over common sense (or the common good), Tesla will game the system and make it slightly easier for Tesla owners / subscribers to rapid charge now they have such a dominant hold over the US EV market. They wouldn't be doing this unless they have a long-term plan that puts them ahead of the competition, or increases their profits. However, public charging networks should be regulated like any other public utility. No one company should be able to dominate infrastructure build, design, and maintenance like Tesla has been able to do in the USA. It will not end well.

    I agree that the Tesla NACS connector will charge the vehicle very similarly to a J1772 plug for level 1 or 2 charging, but where it really has an advantage is that it can also do DC fast charging.

    I believe the average cost to use a Tesla supercharger is at $0.25 per KWh (~ +3 miles of range for a midsize EV car). Considering a regular efficient gas car offers ~ 30-36 mpg (Hyundai Kona for example) and gas in Texas @ ~ $2.60 per gallon then those gas vehicles are about the same or slightly cheaper per mile than an EV at $3.00 per gallon equivalent. A 2024 Toyota Prius at 57 mpg is close to HALF the cost of an EV per mile! California, Hawaii and more expensive gas at $4.50-$5:00+ may be closer IF YOU DRIVE A TESLA.
    HOWEVER - Given what appears to be a significant surcharge that Tesla adds to the cost per Kwh for non-Tesla vehicles using nacs (reportedly at $0.48 to $0.55 per kwh) pushes the cost for the EV at more ~ the $6.00 per gallon equivalent!

      Yes, so one has to calculate the cost before deciding. The numbers you gave aren't always true. Electricity cost can be much lower (e.g., 5cents/kWh, can charge at home) and gas prices can be much higher ($5/gallon).

      .
      A separate, nationwide payment system, similar to a credit card, but linked to the vehicle would solve that.

      It knows the car is linked to an account (that can be encrypted)
      Every car would be sold with the account details ready.
      .
      Assuming the car (account) has no flags from previous non-payment, when the connection is made, the system switches the charger on.
      .
      If there's a system issue, communication down, the charger stores the transaction, *the car gets the charge* (and also stores the transaction).
      When communication is restored, the system collects the data from the charger. The next time the car is charged, there's a check flagged to confirm the previous session.
      .
      If there's a billing (account) problem, the account owner gets a message, essentially "you get this charge, but pay the bill!" (There's time to investigate while charging!)
      .
      The driver (and/ or account holder?) Gets a text receipt for accounting purposes if desired.
      (Wouldn't an app which automatically collects, collates and outputs that data for distance range and cost monitoring be great?)
      .
      Nobody gets stranded (unless there's a catastrophic power failure, but that's taking everything out)
      Everyone gets "plug and charge.

      The outcry might be "BUT MY FREEDOM!!..... I don't want a "special" account!!"

      Tracks you.

      Sells your charging and vehicle ownership details to others.

      The other factor is of course equipment reliability.
      .
      How about...
      .
      Tesla licenses the charger design for "others" to build and brand as their own?
      .
      Advantages?
      1) It's the most reliable system.
      .
      2) Every technician working on the same chargers makes nationwide maintenance easy (you want to carry ONE set of common spares and have every technician able to work on *every* charger)
      .
      3) Faults become known and fixable more quickly through the combined knowledge base of technicians.
      .
      4) Every customer (driver) will be familiar with every charger.
      .
      5) Those other companies, including auto manufacturers(?) can gain from association with a working network ("advertising") and maybe, if they (and the Government) are smart, gain some funding which might offset the need for "other assistance" later?
      .
      6) More companies in the game means more jobs in those companies and potentially a much faster rollout.
      .
      What's in it for Tesla?
      It advances the Master Plan, takes pressure off them, gives Tesla drivers more chargers to use.

    J3400 has already been done.
    The NACS connector on the station side is simplicity itself, it is sealed and has no mechanical failure point. J1772 may have been validated for 10000+ insertions, but I can't agree on CCS-A having that level of rigor for its life. Both J1772 and CCS have mechanical moving parts that can be physically broken easily to alter functionality such as locking capability. CCS even has motors involved in safety locking that can break on the charger side. NACS connector has grooves in it so the mechanical obligation to lock the connector resides in the car, not the station. This plays a significant role in station reliability.
    Also, the stations with the NACS connector uses the software of the CCS standard. The magic dock chargers provide a petri dish of potential edge cases for Tesla to analyze well in advance of opening the broader supercharger network to charging with self-supplied adapters.

Will a single software car and phone app also become the standard? Or, will we still have multiple apps on your phone to deal with like non-Tesla owners have to deal with now? Will connecting up to any vendor's charger read your car's info and billing info allowing the charger to adjust charging options, including max charging rates and billing rates based on the car you drive? The connector could be basically an app connection. Your car could be treated like a USB device with the charger polling the car for all information and even special apps required to efficiently charge your car and dis-charge your bank account.

      Yeah. There's several websites including out of spec that state the single most common reason for a CCS connector being out of service is that failure of the mechanical lock. All chargers won't transfer electricity unless it gets a positive lock. In the CCS design the lock sits on the outside of the device, rather than internal. This exposes it to direct force eg when the handle is dropped on the ground, which happens regularly. In the CCS ddesign that mechanical lock bends or breaks. In the NACS design the lock is internal and so doesn't break when the handle hits the pavement. Also the Tesla handle is smaller and lighter, and it is much easier to insert it into the compared with the huge, committee designed CCS connector.

When they finally settled on one connector that fits better, is reversible, and performs better they still managed to screw it up by keeping USB A and not having every port and cable adhere to a single USB-C standard.
    NACS not going to charge the car the same because the CCS charging stations are plagued with problems. It's the responsibility of the other car makers to make sure their cars aren't buggy so they can properly communicate with NACS stations and Superchargers.

    Nice but still not getting an EV -- yet. Cannot afford the EV and the increased auto insurance. Of course, I have to upgrade my home electrical panel for a level 2 charger and that's another expense I'm not ready for (especially as I will NEVER buy a Tesla) in addition to many of the EV no longer eligible for the $7500 tax rebate (looking at you Hyundai).

    Ah, yes.... Tesla copied apple and the CCS copied Nokia when designing the charging handles. One went for reliability, ease of use, build cost, and power supply. The other went to a committee of Gov engineers designed to limit EV sales, to be hard to build, bulky, heavy, and easy to break with expensive repairs regularly required.

    at 1:00 Tesla "decided to open up that DESIGN" - fixed it for you. NACS did not become a standard until December 2023. Before that it was a proprietory design. Tesla is very good as spin, as can be seen in this area, referring to their design as a "standard" long before it had been so codified. Good gob, Tesla spinmeisters.

    5:00 Tesla has an interest in ensuring that non-Tesla vehicles can reliably charge at their super chargers and NACS superchargers. I'll confidently wager that Tesla, as a talented software-driven company, will figure out the UIA from it's end, and work effectively with non-Tesla OEM's to ensure that their software reliably interfaces with the Tesla software and hardware. Nothing-burger of an issue...unless you're a traumatized CCS user carrying bad ju-ju with you.

    The title of this video is misleading. The adopted standard in many parts of the World is CCS. Unlike the US, Europe (and elsewhere) uses the upgraded CCS2 standard. As far as I am aware, whereas CCS is an international IEC standard, NACS is not. That means whatever Mr Musk says, goes - the standard is whatever he says it is - it’s a proprietary standard which is only used in the US. I’m sure that Musk will be rubbing his hands with glee at the thought of all that licensing money and power to change whatever he wants, whenever he wants. Not the smartest of routes to take IMHO.

    • @BEW419

      Tesla gave up their rights to the NACS, in the video he explains how it is becoming the J3400 standard. There's no licensing, or control retained.

    Again, America goes with their own standard, different to the rest of the world.
    The rest of the world has gone with CCS type 2, which solves all the problems of CCS (type 1), and solves a few of the problems of Teslas own design, plus keeps backward compatibility, even Teslas come with this as standard in much of the rest of the world.
    But in the good old US of A, because Tesla got the charging network out there first, everyone else has to comply with their ‘standard’, like VHS versus Beta, NTSC versus PAL, 110V versus 240V, America has to deal with a lesser final product because … reasons …
