Major Automakers Embrace Tesla's Charging Standard in North America

The SAE J3400 North American Charging Standard (NACS), previously known as the Tesla connector, has been released with the aim of increasing access to charging for electric vehicle drivers across North America. Major automakers such as Ford, GM, and Volkswagen have announced their adoption of the NACS, with Volkswagen planning to fit its new electric cars with the Tesla charging port starting in 2025. The standard allows for interoperability and compatibility with Tesla's Supercharger network, reducing infrastructure costs and improving charging efficiency. The US Department of Transportation is seeking feedback on updating charging station standards and requirements for government-funded stations.

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

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.

Tesla's Charger Dominates the EV Market, Leaving Competitors in the Dust

The North American Charging Standard (NACS), also known as "the Tesla plug," is gaining traction in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. Currently used by Tesla vehicles and charging stations, other automakers like Ford, GM, and Rivian have announced plans to adopt the NACS connector for future EVs. While only Tesla charging stations offer NACS compatibility, more charging networks are expected to support it as carmakers adopt the standard. Existing Tesla owners will benefit from increased charging options, while non-Tesla EV owners with CCS ports may need adapters in the future. Buyers considering a new EV should be aware of the transition to NACS and the potential challenges of finding CCS charging ports. Overall, having a unified charging standard in the US should simplify the EV charging experience, although some issues still need to be resolved.

Tesla's NACS Charging Standard Gains Traction with Volkswagen, Electrify America, and More

Volkswagen is in talks with Tesla to adopt Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) for its electric cars sold in North America. Several other manufacturers, including Ford, General Motors, Rivian, Volvo, and Polestar, have already announced a switch to NACS. However, Volkswagen may be concerned about the compatibility of NACS with its high-voltage battery systems, as Tesla's Superchargers currently only support up to 500 V. Once a clear path to 1,000 V charging is established, more EV manufacturers are likely to make the switch to NACS.

EV Charging Standard Shifts Towards Tesla's Network with Rivian and Lucid Joining In

Rivian, the Amazon-backed EV maker, will adopt Tesla's charging standard, giving its drivers access to Tesla's Superchargers in the US and Canada via a special adapter. Rivian will also add Tesla-standardized charging ports to its EVs from 2025. This move adds momentum to Tesla's quest to change the industry charging standard and benefits Rivian drivers with access to the largest charging network in the US. Rivian will continue to expand its own fast-charging network, but with Tesla-standardized plugs, creating a significant revenue source from Tesla owners. This is good news for Rivian, which has been revisiting its exclusivity agreement with Amazon as its production capabilities outpaced Amazon's demand for new electric vans.

Ford CEO Farley Stands Firm Against Tesla's Cybertruck

Ford CEO Jim Farley said there was no hesitation in adopting Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) and connecting to 12,000 Supercharger stalls across North America with a simple adapter. The move will help customers gain advantages and make the EV ownership experience easier. The deal has catalyzed several other partnerships between Tesla and EV makers, including General Motors and Rivian, which announced its intentions to adopt NACS yesterday. Other automakers like Hyundai seem to be mulling the adoption of NACS, while companies like Lucid do not seem to have any interest in adopting Tesla’s connector, at least not until changes are made.

Rivian Joins Forces with Tesla for Charging Network Access

Rivian will adopt Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) for its electric vehicles, including current R1T and R1S models. Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe said the move will enable customers to use Tesla's Supercharger network while Rivian builds its own charging network, the Rivian Adventure Network. The latter will feature DC fast chargers and be located along popular routes and highways.
