How do you feel about GM and Ford moving the NACS charging standard, is it going to have a ripple effect?

As the owner of a CCS-ported car, I'm ok with this.

One standard, down from three options, seems right. Imagine having to worry about which shape of the filler nozzle at a gas station...

It will be nice to be able to use the rows and rows of vacant superchargers here in Atlantic Canada. The CCS chargers are too-often a gamble (or non-existent).

With GM now on board I'm pretty sure this will cause a ripple effect and more automakers will join. Some sooner than others. The supercharger network has proven to be reliable for Teslas. I think it's a good thing all around. However, we won't truly know how well Ford and GM vehicles will integrate with superchargers until owners pull up and plug in. I have my fingers crossed that Volvo/Polestar is next!
