TESLA CHARGING CONTINUES TO OPEN TO EVERYONE! SUPERCHARGING OUR MACAN EV

EV Channels Review

This video provides a timely update on the adoption of the North American Charging Standard (NACS) by various EV manufacturers, using a Porsche Macan EV charging at a Tesla V4 Supercharger with a Magic Dock as the central example. The reviewer highlights the convenience and reliability of the Tesla Supercharger network, contrasting it with the current challenges of the CCS network, particularly for road trips. While the Macan EV is praised, the lack of a readily available NACS adapter from Porsche is noted as a significant drawback for long-distance travel, prompting the reviewer to opt for a Tesla for road trips until the adapter is available. The video also touches upon the technical aspects of V4 dispensers and charging speeds, explaining that while the hardware is capable of higher speeds, the Macan EV's 800-volt architecture currently limits its charging rate at these stations. The core message emphasizes the ongoing transition to NACS, with some manufacturers ahead of others, and the importance of adapter availability for non-Tesla EVs to fully leverage the Supercharger network.
