It says a lot about ccs that all the automakers are switching off of it. Even if the ccs networks weren’t noticeably worse, nacs is smaller, and should make for much easier vehicle packaging designs (see: Tesla nacs in taillights vs ccs behind a big door)

CCS has the benefit of working well with three-phase power – which isn’t used in North America. NACS doesn’t support three-phase power but has a more convenient form factor.

Europe will probably stick to CCS Type 2 since three-phase power is commonly available at home.
