General Motors (GM) has announced its intention to adopt the North American Charging Standard (NACS) for electric vehicle (EV) charging starting in 2025. This decision marks a shift from GM’s previous commitment to the Combined Charging System (CCS) standard. The move is part of GM’s strategy to align with industry-wide changes and streamline the charging experience for its customers.

The transition to NACS will involve updating GM’s vehicles and charging infrastructure to support the new standard. NACS is intended to provide a more standardized and user-friendly charging solution, potentially offering faster charging speeds and greater compatibility across different EV models and charging networks.

GM’s decision to switch to NACS reflects broader industry trends toward adopting a unified charging standard. The company is expected to work closely with charging network operators and other stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition and continued support for its electric vehicles.

The shift to NACS is anticipated to impact the way GM’s customers access and utilize public charging stations, with the goal of improving overall convenience and reducing barriers to EV adoption.
