A couple of high-end automakers are set to gain access to Tesla Superchargers in the near future.
Tesla recently updated its NACS page to include BMW, Genesis, Lucid, and JLR (Jaguar and Land Rover) on the list of automakers that will soon support Tesla’s Superchargers. While specific timing is not provided, these luxury brands are gearing up to join the network.
Following Ford’s lead in 2023, many major EV manufacturers have announced their intentions to adopt the NACS standard. The SAE has also officially recognized NACS as a standard, with support from the Biden administration. This move will lead to the installation of more NACS connectors outside of the Supercharger network, bringing the U.S. closer to having a unified fast-charging standard for electric vehicles.
2025 BMW i4
Ford, GM, Nissan, Polestar, Rivian, and Volvo have already enabled Supercharger access and are offering adapters for existing EVs with CCS ports to connect to Tesla’s charging stations.
The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 will be the first non-Tesla EV to come equipped with a NACS port. Hyundai, Genesis’ parent company, will provide free adapters for its current EVs. Kia, another Hyundai brand, plans to offer Supercharger access and free adapters to select models purchased at the end of 2024.
2025 Lucid Air Pure
Mercedes-Benz has confirmed plans to introduce Supercharger access in February, requiring a dealership visit for software updates and an adapter installation.
Although not yet listed on Tesla’s website, Volkswagen is expected to offer Supercharger access to its EV customers in June or July, pending the availability of adapters.
