Major Automakers Embrace Tesla's Charging Standard, Signaling a Shift in the EV Industry

Volkswagen Group, including VW, Audi, Porsche, and the upcoming Scout brand, has announced that it will adopt the Tesla-developed NACS connector starting in 2025, joining other major automakers in the move towards universal adoption of the connector. The NACS connector, previously considered a de facto standard by Tesla due to its dominance in the US EV market, has gained traction after Ford and GM announced their adoption. Volkswagen's commitment is significant due to its influence over Electrify America, a major charging network, and its size as an automaker. Stellantis remains the only major automaker yet to commit to the NACS connector.

Hyundai Considers Customer Perspective Before Adopting Tesla Connector

Hyundai is considering adopting Tesla's NACS connector for its electric vehicles in North America, but wants to "look into it from the customer's perspective" first. The Korean automaker is concerned that Tesla's Superchargers don't support 800v charging like its Ioniq 5 and 6. However, NACS supports up to 1000v and is compatible with vehicle-to-X technology, which is important to Hyundai. GM and Ford have already announced that they will adopt NACS as the standard connector in their future electric vehicles.
