Hyundai Considers Tesla's Charging Connector and Network

Hyundai Motor is considering switching from the CCS1 to Tesla's NACS charging connector in North America, but only if it is in the best interest of its customers. The main issue is whether the NACS standard will support higher voltage than currently used by Tesla (around 400 V) to maximize the fast charging speed of Hyundai's latest all-electric cars. If issues are solved, then the company is willing to make the switch to the NACS. The decision behind the switch to NACS will be more political because it will likely include not only Hyundai Motor Group but the whole country, including its infrastructure and other manufacturers operating in South Korea.
