Aside from an adapter I'm sure it'd be possible to convert it to built in NACS, but it might cost you depending on actual part availability

I don't think that's possible, is it?

NACS is just a different connector, the communication protocol is CCS under the hood. You can use passive adapters no problem. Replacing the connector should be possible, you just need a switch to shunt between level 1/2 AC charging and level 3 DC fast charging.

This is over my head. I only took a single EE class in uni.

NACS is lightning, The other port is USB C.

Modern lightning speaks the USB C protocol to your charger, but the physical connector is the old lightning plug. USB C obviously just speaks USB C.
