Volvo Becomes First European Automaker to Adopt NACS Volvo became the latest automaker to reveal plans to adopt Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) and to use Tesla's Supercharger network, after similar plans were announced by Ford, General Motors, and Rivian in the past few weeks. Just like the other automakers, Volvo plans to distribute adapters to owners of its EVs early on, before incorporating NACS charging ports as a built-in feature starting in 2025. And later on, Volvo also plans to offer a NACS-to-CCS adapter to those owners wishing to use CCS cables. Volvo's move is part of a sudden and major shift to Tesla's NACS standard—one that arrived with little warning. "As part of our journey to becoming fully electric by 2030, we want to make life with an electric car as easy as possible," said Jim Rowan, CEO at Volvo Cars.
Other automakers could also adopt NACS in the coming weeks. But will Tesla owners like seeing other EVs at Supercharger stations starting in 2024? |
