In a milestone for EV technology, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. becomes the first Japanese automaker to adopt Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS). From 2025, Nissan's electric vehicles in the U.S. and Canada will utilize Tesla's extensive Supercharger network, a move aimed at propelling EV adoption.
Likewise, it is the first Asian automaker to support Tesla's charging connector for the North American market. Nissan Motor confirmed this week that it has decided to adopt Tesla's EV charging standard in the United States and Canada starting in 2025. This will make charging via Tesla's Supercharger stations easier and more convenient for drivers since this charging network covers many locations.
With this move, the carmaker joined other companies to expand their fast-charger network to accelerate EV adoption. According to Reuters, the Yokohama-headquartered firm will install Tesla's NACS port in its electric vehicle models to fully electrify 40% of its U.S. vehicle sales by 2030.
Before Nissan Motor announced its Tesla charger adoption, Rivian, General Motors, and Ford Motor had already accepted the mentioned charging standard. While Nissan will only start offering EVs with NACS port in two years, it will already provide charging adapters with its Ariya EV models next year.
"Adopting the NACS standard underlines Nissan's commitment to making electric mobility even more accessible as we follow our Ambition 2030 long-term vision of greater electrification," Nissan Motor Americas chairman, Jérémie Papin, said in a press release. "We are happy to provide access to thousands more fast chargers for Nissan EV drivers, adding confidence and convenience when planning long-distance journeys."
Nissan Motor's ultimate goal is to produce more fully electric vehicles within the next seven years. It plans to release two new all-electric models that will be assembled at its production facility in Canton, Mississippi. The company will post more details about the launch of its NACS compatibility later.
