Electrify America bommar – största laddstationen saknar NACS-stöd
2026-10-21 • Kategori: ev_automotive
TL;DR: Electrify Americas nya gigantiska laddstation i Florida saknar NACS-kontakter, vilket tvingar Tesla- och andra NACS-ägare att använda adapter.
Electrify America opened its largest EV fast charging station to date. With two dozen 350 kW chargers, the Florida site has plenty of options for quick top-ups. All stalls have the same type of connector, so some EV owners will need to have an adapter at hand. Electrify America just flicked the “on” switch at its largest-ever EV fast charging station. Located in Orlando, Florida, the site offers 24 individual stalls, each capable of delivering up to 350 kilowatts of power. That’s great news for Orlando residents who need a quick top-up, but the site’s location near Interstate 4, the Orlando International Airport, Walt Disney World, and Universal Studios means it’s well-positioned for EV drivers who are just passing by, too.

All this being said, there is one important thing to keep in mind. Every one of the 24 stalls at Electrify America’s largest DC fast charging station has a CCS1 connector. It’s not the end of the world, but it means that drivers of NACS-equipped EVs will need to have a charging adapter at hand if they want to top up at this location. All Tesla and Rivian EVs sold in the United States have a NACS charging port, and an increasing number of legacy automakers are fitting the compact connector on their electric models, including General Motors, BMW, Stellantis, and Mercedes-Benz. The shift in connector preference came after Tesla opened the floodgates, allowing competing EV manufacturers to gain access to its Supercharger charging network in the U.S., which uses NACS plugs exclusively. Earlier this year, Electrify America set the stage for its future, launching what it calls large-format stations. These can cater to at least 20 EVs simultaneously, with each stall capable of delivering up to 350 kW. The company already has a handful of large-format sites in California, including a location where a 1.9-megawatt battery helps balance the grid. “This new station in Orlando represents our continued commitment to bringing fast, reliable, and convenient charging to Florida,” said Anthony Lambkin, vice president of Operations at Electrify America. “Florida’s EV community is growing fast, and we’re excited to keep growing with it.” Florida had the second-highest number of registered EVs after California, according to the Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center, so expanding its footprint here makes a lot of sense for Electrify America.
