GM just adopted NACS 🤯🤯🤯
- Thread starter cdub
- Start date
From listening it seems to be a very similar deal as to Ford. I'm assuming exactly the same.

Yep, seems exactly the same: (at least as far as consumers see/care.)
- Access to 12,000+ Superchargers early next year. (Ford specifically said V3, so that probably applies to GM as well.)
- NACS to CCS1 adapter available to existing GM vehicles in early Spring, 2024.
- GM switching vehicles to only have a NACS inlet in 2025. (So likely for model year 2026 vehicles.)
- CCS1 to NACS adapter will be available for the new model year 2026 vehicles. (Probably the same one Tesla sells now, but maybe Ford/GM branded?)
Dang. CCS2 is dying, dying, ... But sounds like I will never get to use my CCS2 adapter I had shipped from Korea last year. 
I hope Ford and GM are both kicking in substantial sums to build out the network. I wonder if VW will try to get out of having to build more Electrify America CCS2 installs?
Glad I bought more TSLA.

CCS2 is in Europe and it’s use is mandated by the government so it’s very much alive.

wow. just. wow.
NACS to the moon! or Mars i guess.
Best thing GM has done in quite awhile.
Did Mary attempt a road trip using just CCS, i wonder?

Not really.
Technically we are using Type 1 CCS2. Europe uses Type 2 CCS2.
CCS1 vs. CCS2 is related to the specs. For example, I think CCS2 added support for 1000v and 500A.
With the probability of a huge expansion coming. There's two new players who love to pour money into anything.

No.
CCS1 refers to combo 1 which is type 1 connector (J1772) plus the DC pins.
CCS2 refers to combo 2 which is type 2 connector (Mennekes) plus the DC pins.
Yes there is a version 1.0 and 2.0 of the CCS specification but that is not what CCS1 and CCS2 refers to.

If they just build NACS stations, that'd still be a win. Still, they've got to make them reliable, no matter what the plug looks like...
