Access to Tesla’s Charging networm

For has singed up…

GM will be GM and simply call this a big mistake until EV sales are affected.

Ford is the 3rd biggest EV company in the US. The start-ups (Lucid, Rivian, Canoo, etc.) will hold meetings to discuss this change.

Switching to NACS could be the difference between their success or slow failure.

"For has singed up…"

Who's "For" and what song have they sung up?
Did anyone find a cure for Tesla's networm?

I don't know what a "networm" is, but it sounds frightening!

GM will always have the “ We are GM . We know best” attitude, no matter how many times they fail.

This is CDMA vs GSM all over again, only with technology the majority want nothing to do with.

Standardize? Tesla was the driving force behind EV charging networks early on and, like usual, legacy auto companies like GM decided they wanted to be the "leader" and ganged up in an attempt to push out the real leader. They even got their government friends involved since the free market wasn't going to favor them, like usual.

Letting Ford use the Tesla charging network is fine, but forcing Ford to adopt NACS is a major step in the wrong direction. The entire rest of the world has converged on CCS, including current Tesla vehicles outside the US, and even Japanese manufacturers have adopted CCS and pretty much given up on CHAdeMO. But nope, instead of taking this opportunity to standardize, Tesla has now guaranteed that at least two incompatible standards will continue to duke it out for years to come in US.
