Aptera Motors becomes the first OEM company that has started integrating the NACS charge ports in its futuristic solar EVs.

Aptera Motor, becomes the first OEM in the United States to integrate the Tesla charge port design into its electric vehicles. Tesla has open-sourced its charge port design and named it the North American Charging Standard (NACS).

With NACS, Tesla aims to make its charge port design standard across North America just like Combined Charging Standard (CCS) has been standardised in Europe. But the design and capabilities of the NACS are much superior compared to the CCS standard.

Actually, Aptera was the one who filed a petition back in July, the petition demanded the design of the Tesla charge port and connector be made standard in the United States. A few months later, Tesla opened the design and architecture of its charge port design and called it NACS.

Not only the Tesla charge port/connector design is simple, but it is also more efficient and is able to hold up to 1 MW of charging.
