The Switch From CCS1 To Tesla's NACS Connector Is Expected To Kill The J1772 AC Plug (insideevs.com)

I was wondering with all the talk of NACS, what would happen to J1772. I think I found the answer, unless folks here see it differently. Thanks!

IIRC, Tesla claims their connector is rated for 1kV as well, and at a slightly higher total power rating than NACS. They haven't actually fielded chargers above 400V, though. It seems though that the general consensus is that the NACS connector is actually more or equally capable overall compared to the CCS (J1772) connector, in a smaller form-factor. At first I thought it was a pretty odd switch, but now that it's an open standard managed by SAE and the specs seem to be at worst comparable... it's not exactly a bad idea for the OEMs to use it.
