It is possible to say that charging stations are of vital importance in expanding the transition to electric cars. Tesla has made the most progress in this regard with its Supercharger stations. Toyota and Lexus are taking new steps to use Tesla’s stations.
Toyota and Lexus models will be able to use Tesla Superchargers
While automakers are moving towards their goal of replacing their ranges with electric vehicles, Tesla’s Supercharger stations have begun to become standard. The last company to adopt the North American Charging Standard (NACS) was Toyota.
The Japanese automaker announced that it has reached an agreement with Tesla to include NACS ports in certain Toyota brand vehicles starting from 2025. Some electric vehicles of its sub-brand Lexus will also come with this charging support.
The Chinese automotive giant entered the Turkish market by shaking it!
DFSK, one of China’s largest automotive manufacturers, entered the Turkish market with its new models.
By using NACS connection points in its electric vehicles, Toyota will provide access to more than 12 thousand Superchargers in the USA and Canada. While the company won’t be implementing the standard until next year, its timeline aligns with its rivals.
Toyota and Lexus owners who currently use the Combined Charging System (CCS) will be able to access NACS adapters starting from 2025. This means Toyota will be fully Supercharger compatible.
BMW also recently announced that all its electric vehicles in the US and Canada will adopt this standard. GM and Ford announced that they will switch to Superchargers starting from 2025. We should point out that Honda currently uses NACS and plans to sell vehicles with this port.
