Tesla’s charging plug in the US is physically much lighter — and smarter than the North American standard.

After Tesla opened the patent and invited everyone to use it, many automakers switched from the CCS connector to Tesla’s North American charging standard.

Or just NACS, as it’s called, a standard that has become more intuitive and reliable than CCS.

Seven major automakers do like Tesla:

Texas with a warrant

And the US state of Texas goes one step further.

According to Reuters, they have approved a plan to require all charging companies to have a Tesla charging plug as well, if they want public funds.

Kentucky, Washington and Florida plan to do the same.

More and more people choose NACS from Tesla:
