NACS still requires the CCS signalling and protocols. They are slow and unreliable.

For example, if your car has the wrong date and time set, then the TLS connection won't establish and you won't be able to charge.

Would be nice if they start including GPS in these cars to get accurate time

The car also has certificates from the manufacturer, and those certificates have a maximum 90 day validity. The charger has to verify the certificates before providing power. Some but not all chargers let the car have internet access to renew the certificates from a manufacturer server.

Effectively, that means if your car manufacturer goes bankrupt, you lose charging ability 90 days later. Same if you only charge in places without internet connectivity.

Great, we finally have DRM for refueling cars. EVs are becoming such a disgusting anti-consumer power grab.

Damn, I thought a solar array and EV were the way to go for a zombie apocalypse too.

It will work fine, the standard is only for fast chargers.
