Tech in the adapter would allow a vehicle equipped for bidirectional charging to discharge power from its charge port, to another vehicle.

Some charging networks performed especially well, though—Volta for Level 2 charging and Tesla Supercharging for DC fast-charging.

Fisker hasn't yet provided a start date for putting the Tesla port on its own vehicles or clarified which model will get it first.

A patent by Ford to wirelessly charge electric vehicles on the go suggests putting inductive charging coils in the road surface.

Starting August 17, the second largest DC fast-charging network will move to a more dynamic pricing structure instead of a flat fee to charge electric vehicles.

Tesla's apparent acquisition of a company working on wireless industrial charging might actually tie in with Tesla's tease of wireless EV charging—and be a necessary hurdle for robotaxis.

The route connects to a factory being built in Mexico, and Tesla reportedly told Texas officials that the project could qualify for federal grants being distributed under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

It hints that early next year a 400-kw upgrade to the connectors of Porsche Charging Lounges should be possible. Which future model will arrive a bit later to take advantage of it?

The prototype making both redundant isn't ready for commercialization, but Stellantis believes a similar hardware set could be ready for use in production EVs by 2030.

The California site caters to electric buses intended for longer-range transit and was developed with input from utility PG&E.

Pass-through charging could solve the problem of multiple vehicles needing to be charged in a single location where there may not be room for enough chargers.

The shift to Tesla’s Supercharging network might not benefit electric vehicles with 800-volt fast-charging capability. Yet.

One of the brands with the deepest history with Tesla is adopting its charge port for vehicles and its own charging network.

More than 96% of drivers completed a successful charge on the Tesla Supercharger network, versus less than 79% on other networks, according to recent data tallied by J.D. Power.

In addition to all the EVs that shift to NACS, Electrify America will give Tesla owners additional places to charge.

If Tesla's NACS is a proper standard, it could make it easier for charging networks, hardware makers, and automakers to deploy it as a baseline for North American EV charging.

An adapter for existing Volvo EVs will be provided in 2024, along with the inclusion of Tesla Superchargers in Volvo's app.

Ford, General Motors, and Rivian adoption of the Tesla North American Charging Standard prompted Texas to mandate the DC fast charger on state-funded chargers.

Another shift to NACS standard—another shockwave across the CCS front?

Tesla's NACS connector simply isn't at as many locations as CCS or even CHAdeMO, according to DOE data—although with GM, Ford, and other on board it could change quickly.
