According to an announcement, Toyota’s collaboration with Tesla will allow EV users access to more than 12,000 Tesla plugs in North America.
Toyota and Lexus electric vehicle owners in North America will be able to charge on Tesla’s network beginning in 2025, and Toyota will also begin adopting Tesla’s EV connection.
Toyota announced Thursday that it will adopt Tesla’s North American Charging Standard plug in a little more than a year. Toyota EVs using the Combined Charging System connector will be able to charge at Tesla stations with an adaptor beginning in 2025.
The statement follows similar ones made by Hyundai, Kia, and BMW for their electric automobiles.
Tesla’s Supercharger network is sought after by other manufacturers because it has greater access to current fast-charging ports in the United States than any other manufacturer’s network, and the charging stations are strategically located along interstate travel corridors. Hyundai and Kia have stated that their EVs will include a NACS port beginning next year.
Tesla’s electric vehicle connector is rapidly approaching industry-standard status. SAE International, formerly known as the Society of Automotive Engineers, said in June that it would establish performance criteria for Tesla’s electric vehicle charging connections. The decision by the American Automobile Association comes just weeks after Ford, General Motors, and Rivian announced plans to join Tesla’s massive Supercharger network and use its NACS connector in upcoming versions of their electric vehicles. Volvo Cars has also agreed to join Tesla’s charging network.
