Despite Elon's Foolishness, Auto Industry Shouldn't Give Up on Tesla's NACS

Tesla CEO Elon Musk's recent decision to fire the entire charging team has caused chaos in the EV industry,

leading to a pullback in Supercharger installation plans and

raising questions about the future of NACS.

Despite the turmoil, NACS remains a superior standard,

with easier usability,

better support for commercial installations, and

more interoperability with international receptacles.

The SAE certification for NACS is already finished, making it a real standard that Tesla no longer has control over.

The industry's commitment to NACS also puts to rest any format war concerns.

Manufacturers should continue transitioning to NACS,

third parties should focus on installing NACS chargers, and

Tesla should reconsider its decision to ensure a smooth transition.
