The American electric car manufacturer - Tesla (Tesla) already has a considerable number of vehicles around the world. Therefore, the charging problem is not only the focus of car owners when purchasing, but also the key point that the factory must break through when promoting sales. Recently, Tesla has made a very positive move.

Tesla publicly announced that it will immediately open the design information on the charging socket specifications that the factory is now using, so that third-party power companies and other electric vehicle manufacturers can use it. Tesla's charging socket specifications are North American Charging Standard (NACS). Before this, it was only applied to Tesla vehicles and its charging stations. Currently, in the United States, the socket specifications used by most electric vehicle manufacturers are CCS series. Although it has compatibility, the charging plug is large in size and difficult to handle, and the charging speed cannot be compared with Tesla.

According to statistics, the number of NACS charging piles in North America has more than 60% more market share than the CCS series, and the number of vehicles with NACS charging specifications is twice that of CCS. In fact, in September this year, the factory launched the CCS Combo 1 Adapter adapter, allowing Tesla owners to enjoy 250kW ultra-high-speed charging in other CCS-specific charging stations. In addition to allowing its car owners to have more charging sources, Tesla's move will also support other manufacturers to spend on Tesla's super charging stations in the future, creating a win-win situation.

Tesla said that the specifications of NACS charging sockets are currently cooperating with relevant standard certification agencies to try to become a public standard system in the future. Other third-party fast charging suppliers in the United States, such as EVgo, have also launched charging discounts for Tesla models, including free in the first three months, lower charging rates, and qualifications for charging pile reservations.
