Terminology

North American Charging Standard (NACS)

Information

Definition

North American Charging Standard is the connector system now commonly referred to as NACS and used in North American EV charging. It is normally checked against vehicle compatibility, socket or cable arrangement, installation design and the intended user group.

Why it matters

It is not the mainstream UK connector standard, but it may appear in international charger and vehicle compatibility discussions. For UK users, it affects vehicle compatibility, user convenience, accessibility and the practical layout of a charging bay or parking space.
