    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    ChargePoint, one of the companies racing to put EV charging stations all over the US, announced today that it is beginning to roll out support for the NACS connector that is quickly becoming the national standard.

    ChargePoint stations that have previously used other ports and power sources can start to use the Tesla-created plug in November, and the company says it now offers “every necessary cable solution to charge an EV in North America and Europe.”

    Now it’s shipping “cable upgrade kits” to existing DC fast chargers around the country — hundreds of thousands of them, the company says — so they can upgrade their setup, both to better support Tesla charging and to be more compatible with the future of EVs.

    Those using ChargePoint’s in-home Home Flex system can get NACS cables even sooner.

    The problem with the current charging system lies in the very fact that “every necessary cable solution” is a phrase you’d need to put in a press release.

    Confusing, broken, incompatible EV chargers are one of drivers’ most consistent complaints.
