There is no need for an adaptor because the three-row EV will be compatible with Tesla Superchargers from the start. Hyundai unveiled the Ioniq 9, a roomy and streamlined three-row electric SUV, on Wednesday. The factory-installed NACS port was designed by Tesla. When it comes to adding the NACS port to its EVs, Hyundai is a leader. It was announced on Wednesday that the next Hyundai Ioniq 9 will be equipped with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) plug, which was designed by Tesla.
This implies that drivers of Ioniq 9s won’t need a bothersome adapter to visit Tesla’s numerous and well-regarded charging stations. The Combined Charging System (CCS), which is rapidly becoming the outdated standard, is used by the great majority of other non-Tesla EVs, even those that are technically capable of accessing Superchargers at this time.
To charge at the thousands of Tesla Superchargers located across the nation, owners of those EVs must have a CCS-to-NACS adaptor.
Every major automaker has declared their intention to transition to NACS and receive access to Superchargers in exchange. Superchargers were once exclusive to Tesla vehicles, which greatly boosted the brand’s appeal. Tesla devoted years to creating the biggest and, by many measures, most dependable and user-friendly network of EV charging stations.
