Texas Mandates Tesla Connector on State-Funded EV Charging Stations

In recent weeks, both GM and Ford have revealed plans to offer NACS adapters to owners of their vehicles, which currently utilize CCS, before fully embracing the NACS standard in future models. Rivian also followed suit by announcing a similar adaptation this week. Leading EV charging companies like ChargePoint and EVgo have expressed interest in exploring the incorporation of NACS into their charging points.

Texas’ decision is expected to influence other states to push EV charging companies to include a NACS connector. According to Reuters, states such as California, Michigan, and Iowa are already reviewing the charging market landscape, while another state is reportedly considering incentives for companies to adopt NACS ports.
