Subaru to Adopt Tesla's NACS Connector for EVs, Gaining Access to Supercharger Network from 2025
Subaru's decision to adopt the NACS connector, a move that aligns with the growing industry trend towards standardization, will enable future Subaru electric vehicles to charge at over 15,000 Tesla Supercharger stations across North America starting from 2025, promoting greater charging convenience and expanding model compatibility.
- Subaru announced it will adopt Tesla’s NACS (North American Charging Standard) connector for its electric vehicles from 2025, enabling them to charge at over 15,000 Tesla Supercharger stations across North America.
- The adoption of the NACS connector will apply to 'certain' Subaru EVs, suggesting that some models may still feature the CCS port until it is fully phased out.
- Subaru plans to provide a CCS to NACS adapter to customers starting in 2025, making its vehicles compatible with both charging networks.
- The automaker, currently only offering one all-electric model, the Solterra, aims for 50% of its total global sales to be Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) by 2030 as part of its carbon neutrality goals.
- Subaru joins other automakers such as Mercedes, Rivian, GM, Toyota, and more in adopting the NACS connector and securing access to Tesla's Supercharger network.
