Genesis EVs to adopt North American charging standard

Today, #genesis Motor North America announced the adoption of North American Charging Standard (NACS) ports for its #electricvehicles (EVs) in the United States and Canada. Beginning in the United States in Q4 2024 and Canada in 2025, all new or refreshed #genesis EVs will come exclusively with a NACS port. With the addition of NACS ports, #genesis #ev customers will gain access to more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers across North America. This will double the size of the DC fast charging network available to #genesis #ev customers.

“We are pleased to announce our collaboration with Tesla to enhance the #ev and charging experience for #genesis customers,” said Claudia Marquez, chief operating officer of #genesis Motor North America. “Increasing charging station access will provide our #genesis #ev owners with the ability to conveniently charge their vehicles at the rapidly growing network of DC fast charging stations across North America.”

Owners of existing and future #genesis EVs with the current CCS will have access to the Tesla Supercharging Network starting in Q1 2025. #genesis will offer an adapter to these customers and will also make adapters available for owners to charge NACS-equipped vehicles at CCS chargers.

“We are proud to welcome #genesis as the latest adopter of the North American Charging Standard,” said Rebecca Tinucci, senior director of charging at Tesla. “Expanding our Supercharger network to include additional #electricvehicles aligns with our mission to accelerate the transition of sustainable energy in the world.”

Expanding access to Tesla’s vast Supercharger network furthers Genesis’ strategy of ensuring #ev drivers have the broadest possible charging infrastructure available. As previously announced, Hyundai and #genesis are also partnering with six of the world’s other leading global automakers to develop a new, high-powered North American charging network with at least 30,000 chargers. The first U.S. stations in this new network are targeted to open in the summer of 2024 and Canada at a later date. This significant investment will benefit the #genesis brand, its retail partners, and customers, as it continues towards its commitment of delivering an all-EV product lineup by 2030. It complements existing initiatives like Genesis Home to provide customers with convenient energy solutions and peace of mind as they transition to #ev ownership.
