Tesla is setting the standard in E.V. charging. According to a new report, SAE International is considering making the company's "North American Charging Standard" (NACS).

SAE International Is Making Tesla's NACS the Standard in Charging

Tesla's (TSLA.O) electric-vehicle charging system is swiftly moving toward becoming a North American standard, which will support the automaker's strategy to broaden access to its formerly exclusive stations, Reuters reported.

Tesla's charging technique has gained popularity in recent weeks. Volvo Car (VOLCARb. S.T.) joined General Motors (GM.N), Ford (F.N.), and Rivian (RIVN.O) in rejecting earlier efforts by the Biden administration to make the Combined Charging System (CCS) the preeminent charging standard in the United States and supporting Tesla's charging system on Tuesday.

According to a representative of SAE International, the organization's goal is to provide an industry-standard design of Tesla's charging port in no more than six months.

He added that the association discusses NACS standards with the federal government, Tesla, Ford, GM, and other automakers.

According to Frank Menchaca, head of SAE International's Sustainable Mobility Solutions, businesses and the government shared a genuine feeling of urgency and purpose.

The fact that this process is no longer within the authority of a single business is crucial to comprehend. All companies are working together to create a standard for creating this plug.

Tesla refers to their technology as "the North American Charging Standard (NACS)." However, SAE International has not yet recognized it as a standard, which will likely be the case soon.

On Tuesday afternoon, Tesla stock was up 3%, trading at $248.33.

According to a report by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), a government-sponsored research organization, the United States is scheduled to deploy a network of 1.2 million public electric vehicle chargers by 2030, including 1 million Level 2 chargers. The study didn't split down NACS and other connector types.

This prediction will surpass the Biden administration's target of installing 500,000 public chargers by 2030. According to the NREL analysis, expanding the public charging network will require a total expenditure of $33 billion to $55 billion in capital from both the public and commercial sectors.

The CCS and NACS connector policies adopted by the Biden administration are enabling "more interoperable, and ultimately a more accessible set of chargers across the country," Ali Zaidi, the White House's national climate adviser, told Reuters Tuesday.

SAE Adopting Tesla's NACS

Several auto companies had already adopted Tesla before SAE International seemingly endorsed it. Ford and G.M. were the first two automakers to adopt the NACS port. The Verge reported that Volvo is the most recent company and the first from Europe to support Tesla's standard charging.

With SAE's acceptance, the port will be simpler for operators and manufacturers of E.V. charging stations to deploy, improving charging reliability and consistency for E.V. owners. To become the de facto E.V. standard in the U.S. Last year, Tesla's once exclusive charging outlet was made open to the public.

The U.S. Joint Office of Energy and Transportation has collaborated with Tesla and the SAE to enhance the nation's charging infrastructure.
