Volkswagen (VWAGY), Audi (AUDVF), Porsche (POAHY) and Scout Motors announced planned implementation of the North American Charging Standard for future products in the North American region, beginning in 2025. To enable existing customers with a Combined Charging System charging port to access the Tesla Supercharger network-which would greatly expand charging provider choice-the brands are exploring adapter solutions for existing vehicles. This has the potential to expand customer charging access to more than 15,000 Superchargers. This is in addition to the more than 3,800 DC fast charging outlets currently in operation by Electrify America and Electrify Canada. Electrify America has already announced it will work to offer the NACS connector at charging stations by 2025 in North America, as well as continuing to support CCS. Volkswagen Group remains committed to improving the charging experience through open standards and interoperability.
