Looks like Ford and GM aren’t the only ones that have agreed with Tesla as Rivian just announced it will also add the NACS Charger to its vehicles.
First it was Ford, then GM came soon after. And while rumors that Stellantis is also consideringthat it, too, will switch to the North American Charging Standard—better known as NACS—starting as soon as 2025. What does this mean for current Rivian R1T and R1S owners and those waiting for their orders to be built?
In all honesty, with the way the current charging infrastructure is outside of Tesla's system, the move to NACS is a smart one. Range anxiety has been taken over by Charger anxiety as owners try to find a working charger. The Tesla network is relatively reliable and flexible enough on the Level 2 side that all you would need is a J1772 to NACS adapter to charge overnight.
