In this quick video, I talk about Rivian’s upcoming support for Tesla’s NACS charging plug. It was announced months ago—but where is it? I share what I think the holdup is, what we know so far, and when I expect it to actually roll out. Let me know if you’re still holding out for NACS in the comments below.

Got this from Rivian last week
NACS is coming with the release of the QUAD … I’ll reach out when we know more
Do you think they will offer an after purchase option to swap out the current plugs for NACS?
“Maybe” for Gen 2 since the port is very modular.
