" As part of our journey to becoming totally electric by 2030, we want to make life with an electrical vehicle as easy as possible. One major inhibitor to more individuals making the shift to electric driving-- a key action in making transportation more sustainable-- is access to easy and practical charging facilities. Today, with this contract, we're taking a significant action to eliminate this threshold for Volvo chauffeurs in the United States, Canada and Mexico."
Volvo is the latest automaker to reveal the adoption of NACS.

Any automaker not embracing the standard is likely going to have a tough time explaining it to their consumers in a couple of years.
