In recent months, more and more automakers have started selling North American Charging Standard (NACS) adapters to allow owners of their electric vehicles to access the vast Tesla Supercharging network. Ford will sell you one for $200, Polestar and Volvo will hook you up for $230 and General Motors will do it for $225.

 

But there's even better news if you drive a Hyundai: you'll be able to get a NACS adapter for zero dollars next year. That means that owners of the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6 and Kona Electric will be able to use Tesla's Supercharger network at no cost whatsoever.

 

The Korean automaker announced that Hyundai EV owners who have purchased or leased their vehicle on or before Jan. 31, 2025 will be able to request an adapter in the MyHyundai online owner portal. "This Hyundai-authorized adapter will give CCS-port-equipped Hyundai EV drivers access to more than 20,000 Tesla Superchargers in the United States," the automaker said.

Hyundai officials also indicated the Genesis luxury brand will eventually do the same with details to be announced early next year; no word yet on Hyundai's corporate cousin Kia, although a similar approach could be likely.

 

Nearly every automaker operating in America is pivoting to Tesla's style of plug—now known as the SAE J3400 standard—and allowing access to Tesla's charging network to give EV owners a better overall experience. Yet Hyundai is arguably making some of the biggest and earliest moves in that direction. The new 2025 Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 9 will actually include a NACS plug from the factory, and will use the traditional CCS style of plug with a separate adapter of their own. Hyundai officials have said that adapter use will not impact charging speeds for either type of car.

 

The automaker said that owners can check HyundaiNews.com for future updates.
