Goodbye, CCS1. Ye will not be missed.
More folks using Superchargers as well.

All 66 mx-30 evs they sold in the us last year will now have supercharger access. The horror.Huh. Besides the really large conglomerates that already got on board, Mazda was one of the really sizeable independents that were left.
I stopped caring after 1985. I had an '83 RX7 and and upgraded to an '85 GSL-SE RX7, the one with leather seats, air conditioning, power windows, etc., and the slightly larger, 90 cubic inch rotary engine. Both silver. True two-seater. They were beautiful cars and classics. Never any problems. The '85 was the last year of the original body shape. 0-60 in 7.8 seconds, 5 speed manual. Lots of memories from my younger years in those cars.I gave up caring about Mazda when they quit making the RX7 rotary.
From the wording of Mazda Adopts North American Charging Standard (NACS) for North American BEVs, no. "Mazda Motor Corporation (“Mazda”) today announced an agreement was reached with Tesla, Inc. (“Tesla”) to adopt the North American Charging Standard (“NACS”) for charging ports on the company’s Battery Electric Vehicles (“BEVs”) launched in North America from 2025 onward."All 66 mx-30 evs they sold in the us last year will now have supercharger access. The horror.
Correct. It appears that while Stellantis adopted the J3400 connector, they did not sign with Tesla to become a NACS partner in order to gain access to the Supercharger network.Curiously Stellantis refers to the connector as J3400 and never mentions NACS, Tesla or Supercharger access.
Oh, that IS interesting.Correct. It appears that while Stellantis adopted the J3400 connector, they did not sign with Tesla to become a NACS partner in order to gain access to the Supercharger network.
Stellantis is part of the IONNA group that is planning to install ~30k of their own chargers. So maybe their plan is that those will be in place before they are selling enough EVs that it matters? Or maybe they think that Tesla will just open the Supercharger network to all vehicles, even if the OEM doesn't have an agreement. Or maybe they didn't want to, or couldn't, meet the technical requirements that Tesla wants of a NACS partner.It now sounds more like they may have a more meaningful plan or distinction in mind.
Prospective Customer: I see these EV Jeeps have Tesla connectors. Does that mean I can use Tesla Superchargers?Correct. It appears that while Stellantis adopted the J3400 connector, they did not sign with Tesla to become a NACS partner in order to gain access to the Supercharger network.
Yep.Curiously Stellantis refers to the connector as J3400 and never mentions NACS, Tesla or Supercharger access.
