Beginning in the United States in Q4 2024 and Canada in 2025, all new or refreshed Genesis EVs will come exclusively with a NACS port. With the addition of NACS ports, Genesis EV customers will gain access to more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers across North America. This will double the size of the DC fast charging network available to Genesis EV customers.
“We are pleased to announce our collaboration with Tesla to enhance the EV and charging experience for Genesis customers,” said Claudia Marquez, chief operating officer of Genesis Motor North America. “Increasing charging station access will provide our Genesis EV owners with the ability to conveniently charge their vehicles at the rapidly growing network of DC fast charging stations across North America.”
Owners of existing and future Genesis EVs with the current CCS will have access to the Tesla Supercharging Network starting in Q1 2025. Genesis will offer an adapter to these customers and will also make adapters available for owners to charge NACS-equipped vehicles at CCS chargers.
As we previously reported, Kia and Hyundai (both brands, as well as Genesis, are owned by Hyundai Motor Group) will also adopt NACS charging ports and gain access to the Tesla Supercharger network starting in 2024.
Even earlier, the cooperation with Tesla in the field of charging infrastructure was announced by Ford Motor, General Motors, Rivian, Volvo Cars, Polestar, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Infiniti, Jaguar, Honda, Acura, Fisker, and Aptera.
