The company sped up its push to of rolling out NACS-compatible chargers in response to the latest developments in the EV industry, where international automakers, including General Motors, Stellantis, and Ford Motor, have adopted the NACS-compliant superchargers. Then again, SK Signet is aiming to offer a better version that will enhance the user convenience experience.
