CCS2 was a good thing that happened to the EU because it was the result of an agreement between several car manufacturers, something that unfortunately didn't happen in the US, maybe due to the CCS1 Vs CHAdeMO battle. But CCS2 is simply a copy (3 phase version as Phil mentions) of the CCS1 which is bulky and heavy connector.
In comparison the NACS (now officially named J3400) is a slim design, easy to handle by most people, way safer to operate and it is also capable of 500 & 1000V but up to 650 Amps. So a very modest 650KW or max power. Which ends way superior than both CCS 1 & 2 types. (without mentioning the nice 'press to open charge port' RF feature all NACS plugs have and that most J3400 manufacturers are considering to include for a great customer experience) J3400 is the best thing that could've happened to North America IMO. Yes we are going to have adapters here and there for a while, but then it's just going to be J3400's everywhere as the main standard.
