#2Stellantis are the only remaining holdout. It seems inevitable they'll jump on board too.

#3* in the US only, since NACS is becoming the US standard.

#4...in America. Europe here quite nicely standardising on CCS2.

#5Logical move. North American Charging Standard does not exist in Europe making car re-import much more difficult.

#6> Volkswagen Group, which also owns Audi, Porsche, and Scout Motors, is finally doing what nearly every other automaker has already done: announce its intention to adopt Tesla’s electric vehicle charging standard.
The reporting around this has been so poor. NACS is CCS with Tesla's plug on the end.
What's happening is that CCS has won the EV charging protocol wars, Tesla's plug is being standardized as CCS type 3 (aka SAE J3400), and Tesla's chargers will use the CCS protocol (like they already do in Europe and elsewhere).
To use NACS chargers older Teslas will need a CCS retrofit:

If it’s electrical it wouldn’t be too hard to conver from one standard to another using an adapter, since it’s standard on both sides there will be a money incentive to make one

US is standardizing quite nicely too, on Tesla's charging standard. I can't think of a company that is not planning to use Tesla's charger going forward.

How about voltage / current / communication? Seems quite a complicated problem, it's not just a case of different USB plug styles..

Yeah, even Tesla uses CCS.
