TECHNICAL INNOVATIONS
Ford will offer nextgeneration
EVs
starting in 2025 with
the NACS connector
built-in, eliminating
the need for an
adapter to access
Tesla Superchargers.
E-Transit commercial
van is shown.
SAE's release of the TIR for the J3400 standard means certain critical engineering and development
parameters have been established to allow developers to proceed with certainty about many
aspects of deployment and commercialization of the NACS connector.
Force and also is a Research Engineer at
the Transportation Electrification Center
at the University of Delaware. The standard,
he stressed, " facilitates broad interoperability
for EV charging solutions
by providing a unified, compact connector
for both AC and DC charging. "
Crucially, the standardized approach
also means that the same utility power
feeds used for public DC fast charging
can be utilized for single-phase AC
charging used in homes and other facilities,
" eliminating the need for separate
circuit panels and additional stepdown
transformers at charging sites,
resulting in lower infrastructure costs
and higher efficiencies, " SAE said.
In the release confirming the completion
of the TIR for the J3400 standard,

SAE said the U.S.'s Joint Office of Energy
and Transportation was instrumental in
fostering the SAE-Tesla partnership to
expedite plans to standardize NACS.
" As the Joint Office supports the
buildout of a convenient and reliable
national charging network, open and
interoperable standards are crucial to
ensuring that every EV can charge at
any station, " said Gabe Klein, executive
director of the Joint Office of Energy
and Transportation. " We appreciate the
commitment and knowledge of SAE
and its experts from the automotive, EV
charging, academic and government
sectors to make the charging experience
easier and more accessible for
Americans nationwide. "
