Jaguar Joins Mercedes, Polestar, and Others in Adopting Tesla's NACS Chargers
Jaguar has announced its plans to adopt Tesla's NACS chargers for its vehicles sold in North America, starting in 2025. The luxury automaker has signed an agreement with Tesla, granting access to over 12,000 Superchargers for its current and future customers using the standard.
In a press release, Jaguar stated that its next generation of luxury electric vehicles, launching in 2025, will incorporate the NACS connector without the need for an adapter in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. The company also mentioned that it will adopt the standard for vehicles and home chargers and will source adapters from Tesla for I-PACE drivers once they become available. Jaguar highlighted that its in-house battery and power electronics technology will optimize charging rates on both Tesla's current V3 (250 kW) and upcoming V4 (350 kW) Superchargers.
Jaguar's decision to join other major automakers in utilizing Tesla's Supercharger network comes as part of its "Reimagine" strategy, which aims to make the brand an all-electric one by 2025. The company plans to replace gas and hybrid vehicles with pure electric models, including six new EVs from its Land Rover division in 2024.
Tesla's Supercharger network has gained significant traction in the industry, with many major automakers already signing up to use it. Companies like Fisker, Ford, GM, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Polestar, Rivian, and Volvo have embraced the Supercharger network, and others, including VW, Stellates, and Hyundai, are reportedly in talks to join as well. Additionally, other charging networks, such as ChargePoint and Electrify America, are also adopting the NACS standard.
Tesla's early investment in building a robust Supercharger network is now paying off, as it has become a key selling point for its EVs and a sought-after feature for other manufacturers. Recently, Tesla secured $160 million in funding to expand its Supercharger network, further solidifying its position in the market.
