CCS1 already doesn't support 3-phase power, so it's not like switching from CCS1 to NACS in the US is losing anything there.

It wouldn't work as-is for Europe because of that, but they're so far into CCS2 adoption that they wouldn't consider it regardless.



To clarify:

3-phase power is irrelevant when it comes to CCS. The point of the Combined Charging System is the "combined". It is the signalling pins in the upper part of the Mennekes or J1772 connector and the large DC connectors in the bottom part.

For slow charging, 3-phase power is relevant (the IEC Type 2 / Mennekes connector in this case).


He was saying that CCS1 in the US uses J1772 which does not support 3-phase power.


And referring to Europe
