@@allangibson8494 Thanks, that helps explain your viewpoint! As I understand it, NACS physical plug is capable of vehicle to grid but the software interface for NACS is still in development while a few OEMs like Ford and GM offer vehicle to grid with CCS and expensive home-side hardware now. NACS will eventually offer vehicle to grid at scale and a common standard. US manufacturers export products all the time to foreign market standards, but also often manufacture globally for global markets. US manufacturing costs are a far bigger barrier to exports than tailoring engineering to different export markets. (Think right-hand drive vehicles). My prior point is that consumers may be saying, if NACS is going to be the go-forward standard, I'll wait for a natively NACS compatible EV before committing, especially with the horror stories of CCS public charging unreliability. I will be interested to see if Tesla Supercharger reliability goes down when interfacing with other manufacturers' software. Lots of evidence legacy automakers are not great at software design, testing, and updates.
@@samdamon7698 NACS is physically incapable of grid connectivity because it shares the DC and AC connections - which means an electrically far more complex grid than CCS and substantially more complicated electronics in the vehicle (which none are physically provided with now). The CCS electronics are exactly the same as required for a solar panel by comparison, as a simple DC to AC inverter. CCS charging unreliability is a VENDOR problem not a technology problem.
#2 should have been what the middle class wants is a sub 40k (preferably 30k) car, with 325 TRUE milage range, and can be back to 85 % charged in approx 10 minutes (but can live with 15 ) lol
I Like Elon Musk, but Teslas and Electric Vehicles are too Expensive. I'd rather just buy a Toyota, Honda or Japanese Automobile that lasts and is good on Miles.
igniting... not an issue...... hybrids are not an issue not a solution and not cheaper or better or more reliable.... reliability, range , hidden costs.... EV are not Taxis... but city cars, occasionally intercity cars.... buyers remorse.... that is because you like to buy cars keep them for a year and then sell them at the same price you bought them.... You like to feel rich but YOU are poor.... rapid technology advandcement.... you need a car and you can afford it.... you buy or a lease a car now.... otherwise do not buy a car now.... dislike into oblivion
A correction for you, a typical 240 V home charger puts 20 to 30 miles on one of these every hour of charging.
You are correct. Highway Herald- brought to you by the American Petroleum institute.
No one is mentioning the impact of switching to the Tesla NACS standard. I know I would prefer to wait for native NACS over an adapter.
And I would avoid NACS like the plague. It’s a deficient design.

Except EV sales are up GLOBALLY.
BYD are having their best year EVER so far with sales up 30%…

Easy, 50% depreciation in two years😱

Sounds like another hit piece and no one informed is buying it.
EVs are simply an extremely flawed and exorbitantly expensive and unviable solution to a problem that essentially does not exist.
says the ostrich.
EV’s are now exactly the price as an equivalent size ICE vehicle…
EV prices have dropped by 40% over the last four years.
