After Hyundai, Kia and Genesis have also announced their intention to adopt the charging standard (NACS) of Tesla in North America. The list of major car manufacturers that have decided to choose the American brand's connector continues to grow.
The announcement by Kia and Genesis substantially follows that of Hyundai, which it's not surprising given that they are part of the same Group.
STARTING IN THE LAST QUARTER OF 2024 
Kia announces that starting from the fourth quarter of 2024, plans to integrate the charging standard (NACS) into its new electric vehicles sold in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Same date also for Genesis (United States and Canada). Thanks to this decision, customers of the two car manufacturers will have access to over 12 thousand Superchargers present in North America.
For current owners of an electric vehicle with a CCS connector, the two companies will make available a < strong>special adapterwhich will be offered starting from the first quarter of 2025, to be able to use NACS charging points. Furthermore, specific adapters will also be proposed to allow cars equipped with the Tesla standard to be able to recharge at stations with a CCS connector.
Kia's press release adds that owners of its electric vehicles will be able to take advantage of the Kia Connect appto automate payment at Tesla Superchargers. Furthermore, they will be able to search for and locate available Tesla Superchargers through the electric vehicle infotainment system screen and their smartphones.
The Hyundai Group has therefore joined the Tesla standard to make a vast network of high power charging. The Korean Group, we remember, is also involved in a joint venture with other car manufacturers to create a new network for the fast charging of electric cars in North America. The aim is to install at least 30 thousand charging points.
