Hyundai said Monday it will send customers who bought or leased an EV before Jan. 31 a free charging adapter that will give them access to Tesla’s supercharge network.
The Hyundai-authorized adapter will give Hyundai EV drivers equipped with a CCS port access to more than 20,000 Tesla Superchargers in the United States. According to Hyundai. The free adapters will be available to eligible owners of the 2024 model year and earlier Kona Electric, Ioniq hatchback, Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 vehicles. Hyundai says the model year 2025 Ioniq 6, Ioniq 5 N and Kona Electric are also eligible.
Customers must request a free NAC adapter through the MyHyundai owners online portal.
Support for Tesla’s charging connector and charging port — It is called the North American Filling Standard — accelerated after Ford and GM announced plans to integrate the technology into the system in 2023. new generation electric cars and sell adapters for current EV owners to gain access. Until then, every EV except Tesla used Combined Charging System (CCS) connectors.
Almost all other automakers have followed by forming their own partnerships with Tesla to offer the NAC adapter to their customers. Some, including Lucid, made plans connect the charging port to future EVs.
The rollout hasn’t been as smooth as some had hoped, with many non-Tesla customers still waiting for adapters. However, some car manufacturers have started supplying the adapters in recent months.
