Kia and Hyundai are officially moving to the NACS charging standard in North America. Here's what that could mean for you.
It has finally happened. After the majority of other major automakers announced the transition from the combined charging system to the North American Charging Standard , Hyundai Motor Group remained one of the major holdouts. But that has changed, and the company announced that it would make the shift starting with cars sold in late 2024. Presumably, that means that 2025 model year cars will get the new plugs.
Related Starting in late 2024, all Kia and Hyundai electric cars will feature the NACS port — so that change will happen overnight. So, the company will sell CCS-equipped electric cars one day, and the next, its new model year cars will be available with NACS ports. What about my current EV? Don’t rush out and get rid of your current Hyundai or Kia EV just yet — you’ll still be able to charge and use your current EV.
Will Tesla charging speeds be as fast? One of the biggest advantages of buying a car from Kia or Hyundai in recent years is being able to take advantage of the incredibly fast 350-kilowatt charging speeds. Thankfully, the ability to charge at speeds that fast will not change.
