Ford and GM are probably regretting that switch to NACS...
Why? For one, Ford has scaled back it's EV transition in favor of hybrids now, and two, there's now a bunch of engineers looking for a job and charging sites up for grabs
Not to mention, it's a standard now, and the old Supercharger protocol is being phased out in favor of another standardized one (I forget which). Further development done on their chargers from here on out is going to be done by a consortium of companies rather than in-house anyway.
That's true, a lot of talent now available.
Last I heard Ford scaled back EV expansion because they overestimated adoption based on the sales of the Lightning, but they were still planning on an increase in production. Just not the 50% estimate they started with.

Make the Maverick a plug in hybrid already!
