(Reuters) - Electric-vehicle (EV) charger maker SK Signet said on Thursday it was adding products compatible with the North American Charging Standard (NACS), after major U.S. automakers Ford and GM said they were adopting Tesla's model of charging.

Electric vehicle charging companies are cautiously embracing Tesla's charging technology as the main U.S. standard, as they are in danger of losing out on customers if they offer only the Combined Charging System (CCS).
