Rivian, the electric truck and SUV company backed by Amazon, announced that it will join Ford and General Motors in adopting Tesla’s so-called North American Charging Standard
Rivian said it will start building its R1T pickup and R1S SUV with NACS-style charging ports starting in 2025. Its upcoming smaller models will also have the Tesla-style charging ports. By spring, 2024, Rivian owners will be able to use adapters to access Tesla’s, Supercharger network, with its roughly 12,000 fast charging stations throughout the US and Canada.
Various charging companies, such as EVGo and Chargepoint, have also said they would begin building chargers that, in addition to charging vehicles using the CCS standard, would charge ones with NACS ports without the need for an adapter. Having more automakers and charging companies using its standard has been seen as a win for Tesla.

Tesla technology inches closer to becoming industry standard as Rivian joins its charging networkElectric vehicle maker Rivian says it will follow General Motors and Ford and join Tesla’s charging network starting next year. The startup truck, SUV and delivery van maker says Tuesday that it will include ports with Tesla’s connector on future Rivian vehicles starting in 2025. It also will offer an adapter for owners of current Rivian EVs. The move is another domino to fall as the auto industry considers switching to Tesla’s connector, which it calls the North American Charging Standard. At present, nearly all automakers other than Tesla use what is called a CCS connector. Tesla has more direct current fast-charging plugs in the U.S. than any other network, and its stations are in prime locations along freeway travel corridors.
