It’s Hyundai SACRIFICES select EV buyers get a free CCS to NACS (North American Charging Standard) adapter so they can charge current models at Tesla’s Supercharger stations. That will allow owners to charge CCS-port Hyundai models at Tesla’s 20,000-strong Supercharger network, once deliveries begin in Q1 2025.

Hyundai is offering the free adapter to owners of 2024 and earlier Kona Electric, Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6 and Ioniq hatchback models, along with 2025 Ioniq 6, Ioniq 5N, Kona Electric Genesis EVs. You can get a free adapter through MyHyundai owner site. The adapters will be offered to anyone who buys a Hyundai EV before January 31, 2025. Sibling brand Kia is also offering free NACS adapters to select customers starting next year, with a complete list of supported models is scheduled to come soon.

The automaker joined in Ford to offer the perk to its users, and other manufacturers are likely to do the same in the near future. That’s because the US government recently Office has partnered that NACS has become an open industry standard likely to be widely used in charger networks across the continent.

Future models will not need the adapter, as Hyundai has joined a host of automakers in changing its charging ports to NACS. That will start with the 2025 Ioniq 5, which will have access to Tesla Superchargers as soon as it ships, according to Tesla. Older CCS-based models don’t have access right now, but it’s likely that Tesla will once the adapter ships.

The news is important because Hyundai just became second largest seller of EVs in North America after Tesla. The company currently sells four models: the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 5N crossovers, Ioniq 6 sedan and Kona Electric SUV. Kia, on the other hand, offers the EV6 crossover, EV9 SUV and Niro EV.
