Part 3/10:
NACS combines the functionality of AC and DC charging by utilizing the same two high-power pins for both. This innovative design simplifies the charging experience, particularly in a single-phase power landscape where North America predominantly operates. The NACS connector, which contains both large output pins for fast charging and smaller pins for communication, is notably easier to handle and insert compared to its contemporaries.
The psychological and practical ease of using a smaller, simpler, and more mechanically robust connector cannot be overstated. For users, the experience becomes less cumbersome, further encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles as range anxiety diminishes thanks to faster charging capabilities.
