ChargePoint has a new EV connector designed to work with “any” EV, regardless of its charging architecture without requiring drivers to have a specialized adapter. In a press release announcing the development, ChargePoint said Omni Port is “designed to support vehicles that are already on the road as well as EVs coming to market.”
ChargePoint said it will begin rolling out Omni Port to select new models of its AC and DC charging stations at no cost. The technology can also be retrofitted into existing ChargePoint stations at an unspecified, “nominal” cost. To use Omni Port, customers can enter their vehicle model into the ChargePoint app or pick the appropriate connector from the charging station screen if they don’t use the app.
The United States doesn’t have a formal standard for electric vehicle charging, but informally, Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) has become on the manufacturing side. ChargePoint rolling out support for the NACS connector in 2023.
