Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, Hyundai EV owners who purchased or leased their vehicles on or before January 31, 2025, will be eligible to receive a free NACS adapter (with shipping included). This initiative will provide Hyundai drivers with access to more than 20,000 Tesla Superchargers across the United States, significantly expanding charging options for its EV lineup.
Eligibility and Models Covered
The complimentary NACS adapters will be available to owners of the following Hyundai EV models equipped with CCS ports:
- Model-year 2024 and earlier: KONA Electric, IONIQ hatchback, IONIQ 5, and IONIQ 6
- Model-year 2025: IONIQ 6, IONIQ 5 N, and KONA Electric
Hyundai drivers will be able to request their free adapter through the MyHyundai owner portal. Detailed instructions, terms, and conditions for claiming the adapters will be announced in early 2025 via HyundaiNews.com and other communication channels.
Enhancing the EV Charging Experience
With the NACS adapters, Hyundai owners will enjoy the convenience of Tesla’s extensive Supercharger network, making DC fast-charging more accessible. This initiative aligns with Hyundai’s strategy to support EV adoption by addressing customer needs.
“To accelerate EV adoption, we started by listening to our current owners,” said Olabisi Boyle, senior vice president of product planning and mobility strategy at Hyundai Motor North America. “These adapters will make DC fast-charging more convenient for current owners. Plus, the NACS port on new models like the upcoming IONIQ 9 along with improvements to our digital charging ecosystem, will further enhance the customer experience for future EV drivers. Our goal is to make the transition to electric seamless.”
Future-Proofing with NACS Ports on New Hyundai EVs
Looking ahead, Hyundai plans to integrate NACS ports directly into new EV models, including the highly anticipated IONIQ 9, further simplifying charging for future drivers. This transition complements the company’s commitment to advancing its digital charging ecosystem for a seamless and user-friendly EV experience.
