After Ford adopted Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) — basically, it’s Supercharger standard — one of my big questions was whether Nissan would do the same. For one, Nissan was the company that we pushed years ago to go this route, in part because it seemed like the most likely to do so.
