This still feels a long way off. I have yet to encounter a charger, not made by Tesla, that has an NACS plug.

Everyone in the US has committed to NACS in the next couple years. The others are aware of this and if they are not completely stupid making plans. They will probably support CCS for a while in some form, but they will be doing NACS in the near future. It might be like regular/premium/diesel fuels - pumps support more than one hose (though wire is more expensive than a hose).

> They will probably support CCS for a while

NACS is CCS with a different plug on the end. Tesla's charging standard is to die off, CCS will be the standard going forward.

Here's a real world demonstration of a charger with J3400 plugs (aka Tesla's plug):

It works on a Chevy Bolt because it is CCS.

Either EA or EVgo just deployed their first one in the last few weeks.

There's a huge wave of chargers building over the next 24 months. Many will have NACS.

That is the definition of the current state.

Fortunately for the future state, they can be changed.
