Over the past few months, a number of major automakers, including General Motors and Ford, have announced that their electric cars in North America will be equipped with Tesla’s NACS charging plug. Volvo has joined this group, whose electric cars in the US will be equipped with the NACS plug starting in 2025. An adapter will be offered for machines already sold.
The benefit for this is very large and Volvo emphasizes it in its press release. “Volvo plans to be exclusively an electric car manufacturer from 2030, with the company becoming the first European car manufacturer to sign an agreement with Tesla. This will give current and future Volvo owners access to the extensive Tesla Supercharger charging network in the US, Canada and Mexico,” Volvo said in a statement. It is the ability to charge cars in the Supercharger network that is the key.

If from 2025 the NACS plug will be standard on all Volvos sold in North America, then adapters will also be offered for cars sold so far, so that people with these cars can also take advantage of the Tesla Supercharger network. Volvo promises to offer the adapter in the first half of next year. Other manufacturers such as Ford and GM also plan to offer adapters next year. It is known that Korean automaker Hyundai is also considering the possibility of switching to the NACS standard in North America.
