Kia Is Offering Free NACS Adapters to Owners of Certain EVs

•    Kia will offer NACS adapters free of charge to certain EV6 and EV9 owners.

For just over a year, we've seen the majority of automakers announce that they would be opting for Tesla's NACS (North American Charging Standard) charging standard, rather than CCS (Combined Charging System), which is still used by the majority of current electric vehicles.
