Stellantis will start using electric vehicles from brands including Dodge and Chrysler NACS connector next year on select models. The automaker will also offer an adapter for existing vehicles so drivers can use NACS or Combined Charging System (CCS) ports.
Tesla has made the EV charging connector open source in 2022. At the time, it rebranded it as the North American Charging Standard (NACS) and touted it as better than competing chargers with “no moving parts, half the size and twice the power.” “.
The pitch worked, and automakers—Volkswagen, GM, Volvo, Polestar, Mercedes, Honda, BMW, Lucid—gradually sided with NACS. Stellantis says it remains committed to building a network of more than 30,000 fast charging stations on highways and in urban areas across North America by 2030, along with other automakers. These stations will support NACS and CCS.

He may make history with the Nova-C lander.
Houston-based space company Intuitive Machines is gearing up for an actual moonshot. It will attempt to land a spacecraft called Odysseus on the surface of the Moon – ideally without breaking it. The mission follows Astrobotic’s failed attempt in January; that company’s lander Peregrine never made it to the Moon. Odysseus is the first of three Nova-C landers that Intuitive Machines plans to send to the Moon this year, all of which will carry commercial payloads and NASA instruments. Its mission, if it makes a soft landing, will be brief but potentially valuable in informing future excursions. Orbiting probes have found evidence of water ice at the moon’s south pole, which could be used for habitation and even fuel.
