    Higher powered vehicles will need a NACS port and a type 2 port for three phase charging, then?

      Here in North America we don’t do three phase charging, we only really have single phase and DC charging. Other than the Nissan Leaf every recent vehicle with DC fast charging uses CCS Type 1, which is essentially J1772 (a 5-pin AC connector) with two extra DC pins at the bottom. NACS/Tesla basically combines the DC pins with the two AC pins, so the port can be smaller.

      From what I understood it was the same plug. Just dispersing different current/voltage. Didn’t think it was 2 plugs. Someone with more knowledge may confirm
