In a groundbreaking collaboration, Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) and Combined Charging System (CCS) connectors are coming together to create an all-new, high-powered charging network across North America. This ambitious project involves the joint efforts of major automotive players, including BMW Group, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz Group, and Stellantis NV.
The primary goal of this joint venture is to install a staggering 30,000 high-powered charge points in urban areas and along major highways throughout North America. The focus will initially be on metropolitan regions and key vacation routes, as well as areas where people live, work, and travel, ensuring widespread accessibility.
Stellantis, one of the leading automakers in the consortium, expressed excitement about the venture, emphasizing that the network will offer a seamless and best-in-class charging experience. The charging stations will be powered by renewable energy sources and backed by the expertise and resources of these global automotive giants.
Join the Tesery family. Let's electrify the future together.
Customer comfort and charging ease are at the forefront of this project. Convenient station locations will feature canopies where possible, and additional amenities such as restrooms, food service, and retail operations will be available nearby or within the same complexes. For a select number of flagship stations, a premier experience awaits, showcasing the future of charging.
Hyundai Motor Company is contemplating adopting Tesla's NACS connectors for its battery-electric vehicles, but concerns about slower charging speeds have been raised. Similarly, Lucid is undecided, emphasizing the importance of high-voltage charging. This joint venture may offer a solution by bridging the gap between automakers fully embracing Tesla's NACS and Supercharger Network and those still evaluating Tesla's Charging Network.
The future of electric vehicle charging in North America is set to undergo a transformation, thanks to the united efforts of these automotive giants. With Tesla's NACS and CCS connectors coming together in a vast, high-powered charging network, the region is poised to witness a new era of electric mobility.
