As major OEMs adopt Tesla's NACS connector, SAE is acting fast to bring key stakeholders together and ensure that any supplier or manufacturer will be able to use, manufacture, or deploy the NACS connector on EVs and at charging stations across North America. The SAE J3400 NACS Task Force will enable standards and technology to work together and effectively manage pain points for consumers and scale EV production. With unique and valuable relationships with both industry and policy makers, SAE's Hybrid - EV Committee approved the creation of SAE J3400: NACS Electric Vehicle Coupler and the dedicated Task Force of subject matter experts overseeing the development of these standards. For insight into this task force and the future of ground vehicle standards, we sat down with Christian Thiele, Director, Global Ground Vehicle Standards, SAE International, and Dr. Rodney McGee, Ph.D., P.E. Chairman, SAE J3400 NACS Task Force, and Chief Engineer at the University of Delaware, to discuss how NACS standardization will pave the way for compatibility, interoperability, safety and consistency in the marketplace.
