Hyundai and Kia Follow Tesla's Lead in EV Charging Transition

TL;DR Summary
Hyundai and Kia have announced their plans to adopt Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) ports for their electric vehicles in the U.S. and Canada, joining other automakers. This move will give Hyundai and Kia drivers access to Tesla Superchargers, along with drivers of Ford, General Motors, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, and Rivian vehicles. The industry is now waiting to see when Volkswagen will adopt the NACS standard, as it has been in talks with Tesla since 2023. NACS is becoming the industry standard due to Tesla's strong Supercharger network and a simpler charging process.
