Tesla’s NACS charging port is becoming the standard for EVs, and ChargePoint is one of the many companies and automakers aiming to make the popular plug easier to use.

ChargePoint, one of the companies racing to put EV charging stations all over the US, announced today that it is beginning to roll out support for the NACS connector that is quickly becoming the national standard. ChargePoint stations that have previously used other ports and power sources can start to use the Tesla-created plug in November, and the company says it now offers “every necessary cable solution to charge an EV in North America and Europe.

The problem with the current charging system lies in the very fact that “every necessary cable solution” is a phrase you’d need to put in a press release. ChargePoint’s stations so far have offered multiple types of DC and AC power through multiple different proprietary ports, and to use any EV charger often requires balancing multiple accounts and subscriptions. Confusing, broken, incompatible EV chargers are one of drivers’ most consistent complaints.
