EVCS Reaffirms Its Support for the NACS Connector

More than 35% of EVCS DC Fast chargers in California are already NACS retrofitted

Los Angeles, CA - August 1, 2023 -- EVCS, one of the largest electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging network operators on the West Coast, is happy to reaffirm its strong commitment and support to offering the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector throughout its fast-charging network. 

Since 2022, EVCS has successfully integrated the NACS connector on its network, retrofitting more than 35% of its DC Fast chargers in California with NACS plugs. These retrofits have enabled Tesla drivers to gain streamlined access to the EVCS network, allowing them to fast-charge at convenient locations such as hotels, gyms, grocery stores, shopping centers, universities, and more. 

This year, NACS connectors have enabled up to 38% of EVCS’ DC Fast charger utilization in California. EVCS is proud that a significant and growing portion of this usage is by high-mileage rideshare drivers with Tesla vehicles, who rely on EVCS for their daily charging needs. Tesla drivers have charged more than 2.3 million miles on the EVCS network this year alone.

"Our commitment to Tesla drivers is not a future promise, but a current reality,” said Karim Farhat, EVCS Chief Commercial Officer. “We welcome Tesla drivers to enjoy fast and cost-effective charging on our network today, and we remain strongly committed to welcoming all EVs with the NACS connector to our network in the future. Capable of charging EVs with the J-1772, CHAdeMO, CCS1, and NACS connectors, EVCS is proud to charge every EV in the market today.”

EVCS remains committed to supporting the NACS charging standard as the network continues to rapidly expand across the West Coast. The company plans to expand the NACS retrofits to Oregon and Washington over the next 12 months. Furthermore, EVCS is actively working on integrating innate NACS cables into its chargers, by working closely with its strategic hardware suppliers.
