2025 Prius Wish-List

NACS isn't just fast charging. NACS is already in heavy use by standard SAE plug-in car 'freeloaders' via adapters that can deliver up to nearly 15kW's turning on their programming & 208 vs 240v source. Yes - there will always be folks that want to hog free electricity to the detriment of those truly in need. It may be Tesla never foresaw how badly abuse would become with their high power wall Chargers but it's going to get worse once NACS becomes even more prevalent. Obviously there will come a time when these open HPWC's will have to get locked out by default. Already our local hotels are having to use main breakers as a shut off so that only Hotel patrons can't take advantage. Otherwise - locals continue to Simply camp out every morning before and after work while picking up a cup of coffee or whatever. But w/ prime's relatively little battery, it will likely never see the DC light of day.
iirc - the smallest DC charging plugin is the mitsu outlander - w/ its ~20kWh traction pack.

I am aware NACS is also an AC standard, but the question is about what Toyota will install at the factory. Looking at the name, it is only used in North America. The reason for manufacturers to use it is for access to the larger DC charging network. The US gen4 Prime never got the DC charging ability, and I don't think the gen5 one has it at all.

Will Toyota install NACS on North American Primes being made in a Japanese factory for just AC charging when the cars on the line for other markets will need j1772?

 

For the money paid for a Limited, I'd settle for more interior softness and comfort. Also, better audio and quieter interior. Guess I'm saying 50 mpg luxury.

 

From TireRack-
Enkai J10
Conti DWS plus
All in $1,386 then I got a $110 rebate on the tires

 

I was curious what those marks on the Conti tire tread were, than the tirerack video explained it.
Tuned Performance Indicators

And I thought figuring out what the yellow and read dots on a lot of new tires sidewalls were for, was kool.
Nice Bkat !

@CeruleanBlue I like your color a lot ! cerulean seas.
