A big pain point for electric vehicle owners could soon sting less, thanks to an announcement from the Jeep-, Ram-, and Chrysler-maker Stellantis\u2014one of Detroit\u2019s Big Three automakers.<\/p>\n

This week, the company said that it would add the Tesla-designed charging connection system, called the North American Charging Standard, or NACS<\/a>, to its electric vehicles by 2025.<\/p>\n

In most cases, the new connector will supplement an older one called the Combined Charging System, or CCS<\/a>, and an even older one, called CHAdeMO. Those were designed by a group of professional engineers, but they tended to be slower, clunkier, and in many cases harder to get into the ground than the Tesla competitor.<\/p>\n

Stellantis was the final domino to fall before Tesla\u2019s connector could declare victory in North America.\u00a0Ford said it would add the newer connector to its electric vehicles<\/a> in May. Since then, General Motors, \u200b\u200bMercedes-Benz, Nissan, Honda, the Hyundai Group, Toyota, BMW, Volkswagen, and others<\/a> have followed. In fact, only a handful of electric startups are still holding out.<\/p>\n

The upshot: By 2025, many more vehicles will be able to use many of the same stations to charge.<\/p>\n

Surveys suggest that today\u2019s American electric vehicle owners, a relatively tolerant first adopter lot, are often frustrated with the public charging experience. Chargers with broken plugs, wonky payment systems, and software incompatible with the cars they\u2019re trying to charge\u2014all are common on public roads.<\/p>\n
