JAKARTA - The Tesla North American Charging Standard (NACS) charging system is being targeted by various manufacturers who want to speed up their transition to electric cars.

Hyundai Motor Group (HMG) is one of the automotive manufacturers that is rumored to be announcing the adoption of this system for a number of their electric vehicles, including brands such as Kia and Genesis.

Reporting from InsideEVs, Sunday, October 1, this news was reinforced by the presence of electric cars from HMG, such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Hyundai Ioniq 6, Genesis GV60, and Kia EV9, which were seen charging at the Tesla Supercharging station in San Clemente, California, USA.

News circulating says that several of these models have been gathered at the charging station for photos that will be used in an upcoming press release. Thus, a manufacturing switch from CCS1 systems to NACS connectors in North America is expected to be announced in the near future.

This decision will add to the list of manufacturers that will adopt this system on their electric vehicles in North America starting in 2025.

Additionally, owners of electric vehicles manufactured before 2025 will have easier access to charging by purchasing a NACS adapter for the CCS1 port, allowing them to easily charge at Tesla Supercharger facilities.

The move is part of Tesla's collaboration to open up access for other brands to the Supercharger network, with the aim of encouraging more consumers to switch to electric vehicles.

Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis will be partners with several other manufacturers that have adopted this system, such as Honda, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Ford, GM, Rivian, and Fisker.

Apart from working with Tesla, Hyundai and Kia have also entered into partnerships with several other automotive brands to build electric car charging infrastructure in North America. Some of the manufacturers involved in this partnership include BMW, GM, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, and Stellantis.
