A
plethora of automakers, including Ford Motor and General Motors,
are moving away from the standard Combined Charging System (CCS)
connector to Tesla's previously proprietary charging design,
which is set to dominate the industry.
Fisker said its vehicles made 2025 onwards will have the NACS
port for charging, while other customers can use an adapter to
access Tesla's 12,000-strong network of public fast chargers in
the U.S. and Canada.
The company will continue to provide an adapter for the CCS if
customers wish to continue using the technology, the EV maker
said.
Tesla's recent deals represent major strides in displacing a
rival standard, CCS, that earlier exclusively had the backing of
President Joe Biden's administration.
The government is offering $7.5 billion in funding to speed the
deployment of EV chargers in the United States.
Most automakers have shied away from building large charging
networks as installing and maintaining chargers requires a
substantial investment for still-limited returns.
