Stellantis has officially ended its holdout and joined the growing list of global automakers embracing Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS).
The company confirmed today that it will integrate NACS ports into select battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) across North America, Japan, and South Korea, a move that will give Stellantis EV drivers access to more than 28,000 Tesla Superchargers.
Supercharger Access Begins in 2026
Stellantis says existing BEVs in North America—including the Jeep Wagoneer S and Dodge Charger Daytona—will be the first to gain Supercharger access in early 2026. The upcoming 2026 Jeep Recon will follow, along with future models across its portfolio of brands, which includes Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, and Maserati.
Drivers in Japan and South Korea will be next, with NACS-equipped vehicles expected to arrive in 2027. The company plans to share additional information on adapter availability and compatibility for current models at a later date.
Improving Charging Reliability in Japan and South Korea
Tesla also highlighted how the transition benefits regions outside North America. Japan and South Korea have historically relied on a mix of charging standards, often creating compatibility challenges for both domestic and imported EVs. With more automakers now committing to NACS in those markets, charging consistency is expected to improve significantly.
“Car manufacturers are transitioning to NACS in Japan and South Korea, improving ease of use and reliability by eliminating connector-side locking found in CHAdeMO and CCS1,” the company said in a post on X.
A Long-Awaited Shift For Stellantis
Stellantis’ decision stands out because it was the last major global automaker to commit to NACS—arriving well after virtually every competitor had already made the switch.
The delay became increasingly conspicuous as even ultra-low-volume brands moved first. Faraday Future, a company that has delivered just 16 vehicles in its entire history, announced its own NACS transition earlier this month. Even Fisker announced it was adopting NACS, shortly before it went bankrupt.
With today’s news, Stellantis, who has historically steered away from the EV revolution, finally joins the rest of the industry in aligning with the charging standard that has rapidly become the default across North America and beyond.
