Volkswagen and its subsidiaries Audi, Porsche, and Scout Motors are joining the growing list of automakers that support Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) for electric vehicles (EVs). Starting in 2025, their EVs will be compatible with both Tesla’s Supercharger network, which has over 15,000 stations, and Electrify America and Canada’s 3,800 DC fast charging outlets. They are also exploring ways to retrofit existing models with NACS adapters.
Tesla’s charging solution is becoming the dominant choice for EVs in North America, as GM, Volvo, Polestar, Mercedes, Honda, BMW, Lucid, and others have also committed to using the NACS soon. ChargePoint and Electrify America are also adding NACS connectors to their EV charging stations by 2025.
