Recently, Kempower invited me to attend the grand opening of their new factory in North Carolina. Normally, the journalistic thing to do is run out the door as fast as you can, get a story ready, and see who can get the story out first. But, I realized before the tour and the event was over that this wasn’t going to be one of those kinds of stories.

If you’re the average mainstream EV buyer and not an early adopter, you know that there’s a small charging post in front of you, and that it has the connectors your EV needs. The charging posts are modular and can come with one or two connectors of whatever kind the charging provider wants. It can be a NACS and a CCS plug, two NACS plugs, two CCS plugs, or whatever foreign plug might be desired globally.

Obviously, a charging provider needs to get out there and swap the modules out for new ones and otherwise keep the station in great shape, but this buys them some time to get that done before it affects the user experience. Kempower has a great software and hardware system that monitors for faults like this, so it’s possible to get a tech out there and do it fast.
