Audi, Porsche and Scout Motors,* and VW today announced an implementation of the North American Charging Standard (NACS) for future products in the North American region, beginning in 2025. Adapters for the Tesla Supercharger network are under study for existing Volkswagen Group EVs. This adds to the more than 3800 DC fast charging outlets currently in operation by Electrify America and Electrify Canada. Electrify America previously announced it will work to offer the NACS connector at charging stations by 2025 in North America, as well as continuing to support the so-called Combined Charging System (CCS).

“This is great news for our electric vehicle customers in the North American Region,” said Pablo Di Si, President and CEO, Volkswagen Group of America. “This potentially provides them with access to more than 15,000 additional charging points as well as the current ~4000 DC fast charging outlets operated by Electrify America.”

Details of the planned integration of the Tesla North American Charging Standard into specific models will follow as the launch date of 2025 looms.
