It remains to be seen if that is how this is gonna work. Or if this is going to be an unstandardized, unreliable mess.
Companies are adopting Tesla’s NACS as the de-facto standard. They’ll therefore have to integrate with Tesla’s software suite which will be native to GM, Ford, Volvo etc. vehicles starting 2025. Problem solved. In the meantime (around mid-2024), all those companies will have access to ALL Superchargers for vehicles without the native plug.
