I'm not following what you're trying to say. That use of "beholden" usually means "trapped" or "obligated". If most of North America is using NACS chargers (Tesla and other brands too), then where is the trap? A consumer can simply use another brand of charger is a NACS connector (of which there will be many brands). With the open standards its not like there is a lock on who can make a charger or where that charger can be placed. If anything, most Tesla chargers are not on the best real estate.
What is your concern with all EV companies in North America using NACS once it is ratified by the SAE as a true open standard?
Sorry, I was agreeing with you, just poorly haha.
Really what I meant is like “if you want to use superchargers, regardless of connector, Tesla has to let you. But cars/chargers switching to NACS doesn’t mean that if Tesla changes their connector your car stops working”
I’m totally in favor of the change (and I love that SAE is getting involved, since that makes it feel a bit more real)
No worries! I'm the first to say I have trouble with the same.
