AUSTRALIA, 13 June 2023: Tritium DCFC Limited, a global developer and manufacturer of direct current (DC) fast chargers for electric vehicles (EVs), announced that it will offer the North American Charging Standard (NACS) as a connector option on its fast chargers in North America.
NACS connector
The NACS connector is the standard connector for DC fast charging in North America. It is used by a variety of EV manufacturers, including Tesla. Tritium’s fast chargers are already compatible with CCS1, CCS2, and CHAdeMO connectors, which are widely used in Europe and Asia.
The addition of the NACS connector will allow Tesla drivers in North America to charge their vehicles at Tritium fast chargers without the need for an adapter. This will make it easier and more convenient for Tesla drivers to use Tritium’s fast charging network.
Tritium expects to make the NACS connector available as an option during manufacture and as a retrofit kit for post-manufacture. The NACS connector will be available on Tritium fast chargers deployed as part of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program and the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Discretionary Grant Program.
Tritium is a global leader in the development and manufacturing of DC fast chargers. The company has a strong track record of innovation and has delivered over 20,000 fast chargers to customers in over 40 countries.
The company’s fast chargers are known for their high performance, reliability, and ease of use. Tritium’s chargers are used by a variety of customers, including fleet operators, government agencies, and retail chains.
The addition of the NACS connector is a significant development for Tritium. It will make Tritium’s fast chargers more accessible to Tesla drivers in North America, and it will help to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles.
