Hyundai Motor and Kia Corp recently announced their plans to adopt Tesla’s electric vehicle (EV) charging technology, starting from Q4/2024.
Following in the footsteps of companies like Ford Motor, General Motors, and Nissan, the two South Korean car manufacturers will be implementing Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS).
Currently, all car manufacturers use the Combined Charging System (CCS), which is complex and cumbersome, and only compatible in Europe. In contrast, the NACS charging port by Tesla is not widely used in the North American market and offers greater safety benefits than CCS.
By switching to the NACS charging port, Hyundai and Kia EVs will have access to over 12,000 Tesla Superchargers in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
The two car manufacturers have announced that all new electric vehicles produced from 2024 onwards will come equipped with Tesla’s NACS charging technology. Current owners of Hyundai and Kia electric models will also be able to charge at Tesla charging stations through adapters, starting from Q1/2025.
Hyundai’s Chairman and CEO stated, “The collaboration between Hyundai and Tesla marks a significant milestone in our commitment to deliver a unique electric vehicle experience for customers. This partnership will provide Hyundai electric vehicle owners with peace of mind regarding convenient charging and support the company in creating a new, high-capacity charging network with at least 30,000 stations across North America.”
