    Wasn’t pretty much every EV in the US using the CCS connector? The only ones I was aware of that didn’t use CCS were Tesla and Nissan.

      Correct. But that also means the majority of cars on the streets were/are using NACS (as Tesla dominates sales). Now almost every notable company has agreed that NACS is the connector to standardize around.

      A big thing that hurt CCS is the charging networks are inferior to NACS networks. They just aren’t as reliable. (And that isn’t to say a CCS network couldn’t be reliable, it just is that the copmanies that built them out never cared enough to make them as reliable). Manufacturers with CCS cars saw themselves at a disadvantage due to the poorer quality network their cars were using.
