As most EV enthusiasts know, the Tesla-developed North American Charging System (NACS) is being standardized as SAE J3400 — unlocking the ability for any EV supplier or manufacturer to use, manufacture, or deploy the J3400 connector on EVs and at charging stations across North America.
.
Recently, the SAE J3400 NACS Task Force voted to establish the J3400 standard as a recommended practice, marking a significant step forward in the standardization process and demonstrating the importance of collaboration in moving the EV industry forward.

To learn more, we sat down with Christian Thiele, Director, Global Ground Vehicle Standards, SAE International, and Dr. Rodney McGee, Ph.D., P.E., Chairman, SAE J3400 NACS Task Force, and Chief Engineer at the University of Delaware, to discuss how the J3400 standard is bringing industry together to build a unified and reliable EV infrastructure that supports the widespread adoption of EVs.
