„… which is rapidly becoming the de facto charging standard in North America and Europe.“

Wait? Europe? I have never heard of anyone in Europe switching to NACS. Europe is all CCS2, even Tesla uses CCS2. Only Model S and X are using a custom Tesla-Solution which is based on the Typ2 AC-Connector. An probably switch to CCS2 in the next generation cars.

So, definitely no NACS in Europe as far as I know.

You have to go out of your way to even find Tesla charging stations in Germany. They are comparatively rare and far in between.

ABB is supporting it therefore EA is supporting it, therefore it's only a matter of time before VW is supporting it. Stellantis basically has no choice. V4 superchargers will have 800v so Hyundai-Kia should be able to jump on board, assuming the V2L stuff is worked out. Not sure of the status of that on NACS right now but it shouldn't be a big lift for Hyundai since at this point it's more of a physical difference.
