The giant finally bowed his head! Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche embrace Tesla charging standard

CTOnews.com, December 20, after a long silence, auto giant Volkswagen finally made a choice in the dispute over charging standards for electric vehicles: embracing Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) standard. The decision means that Volkswagen's new electric cars, including Audi, Porsche and Scout Motors, will be directly compatible with Tesla's super charging network, providing its users with a more convenient and efficient charging experience.

It is expected that by 2025, the adapter will be officially launched, at the same time, the next generation of Volkswagen electric vehicles will also be directly equipped with NACS charging interface to provide users with a convenient and efficient charging experience. At that time, Volkswagen owners will have access to 15000 supercharging stations in North America.

CTOnews.com noted that as early as November 2022, Tesla announced the opening of its charging technology and named it NACS, opening the door to other automakers. Ford, GM and other car companies have joined, but the Volkswagen Group has been slow to speak, only the news of "negotiations" with Tesla. Earlier, it was reported that Electrify America, Volkswagen's electric car charging company, would begin to add Tesla charging plugs on its own.

With the addition of Volkswagen, Tesla can focus all his attention on the last insider: Stellantis Group, which owns Jeep, Chrysler, Ram, Dodge, Peugeot, Fiat and many other brands.
