Considering that the Tesla Supercharger stations are the gold standard for EV charging, is the decision to adopt the NACS plug by other car makers caused by the ability to use superchargers?

Mainly, but also the plug is smaller and easier to use than CCS1.

In Europe there’s a slightly improved CCS2 plug (without a latch sticking out), and all automakers including Tesla use CCS2. Superchargers aren’t dominant, and there’s no push to change the connector.

Thank you. It seems to be a no-brainer for other manufacturers to adopt to a common standard with additional benefits to their client base.

It's a welcome change, especially after years of proprietary solutions to shared issues.
