    Is there any news about Toyota implementing NACS for any 2025 models?

    It would be a big surprise if the 2025 Prius becomes first out of the box.

    You're kidding right? After all the years it took just to force toyo to make a kind of so so EV for the usa?
    In the meantime - ford & Nissan have said they will have the new plug style in 2025. On the other hand Toyota said they were going to have solid state batteries and we are still waiting. At least wait until they make some kind of a claim so we can start the clock.

    Toyota's can charge at:
    • J1772 - as can everybody
      • My 2017 Prius Prime would only take about 15-16 A versus the J1772 40 A limit.
    • Tesla magic dock SuperChargers - my 2017 BMW i3-REx charges no problem.
      • My 2017 Prius Prime did not have a CCS-1, fast DC charging port, just J1772.
    Wake me when Toyota has an EV that matches my 2019 Tesla Model 3.

    2024 RAV4 Prime takes almost 30A.

    For charge rates in this range, the EVSE signaling protocol uses steps of 0.6 amp. I've seen mine pulling 29.4 amps.

    SAE J1772 is defined up to 80 amps:
