Toyota already announced it so it is natural that Subaru will have to go with it too.

Everyone will switch. It will be like gas pumps. Same nozzle for all petrol cars. It didn't make sense to have multiple options. NACS is the superior standard (to CCS/CHAdeMO).

Back in April/May Ford signed a deal with Tesla & released a statement that they would be installing NACS ports on future vehicles. GM, in typical GM fashion, followed suit a month or two later. Fisker, Lucid & Polestar have signed on as well; it was/is only a matter of time for the rest of the legacy manufacturers to get on-board as the US accounts for a large portion of auto sales for most manufacturers, and most (if not all) major EV-only manufacturers have adopted it (or will be adopting it).
NACS is a "better" design from the standpoint that the connector is smaller & the cable is lighter; it is more manageable/maneuverable for more of the gen-pop to handle & connect to their cars. CCS is rated to handle higher voltage than NACS; I use "rated" not "capable" as I haven't looked into the actual tech specs on either, only the published numbers. I'm willing to bet that from a technical standpoint CCS is capable of handling higher voltages; the cable is thicker & the connector is larger so likely has better insulation/segregation of pins/contacts. |

I would rather have a charging pad on the floor of the garage for inductive charging and nothing to "plug in".

Municipalities are looking into inductive charging in roadways for electrified mass-transit; it's a way to not only reduce battery size, vehicle weight & vehicle cost while improving vehicle efficiency, but also will minimize/eliminate stationary charging & reduces costs associated with facility construction & maintenance (chargers & service size, as well as backup generator size). Once it hits public sector use/adoption it's only a matter of time until the private sector will be allowed to utilize it. Normal/vanilla EV's could get by with significantly smaller packs; essentially a ~14kWh pack from a PHEV would be more than sufficient for an EV that has access to inductive charging during its normal daily routine; utilizing a super/ultracapacitor in conjunction with a battery would mean acceleration doesn't have to suffer by going to a smaller battery either.

I don't want my kahunas anywhere near an inductive charging system. So, as long as they label the road accordingly I will take the long way.
Peace, Greg |
