Polestar and Volvo Cars enters Tesla NACS network

Polestar and Volvo Cars have announced adapting the Tesla NACS charging network for their vehicles with thousands of fast chargers across North America.

The company will add NACS chargers to existing thousands of fast-charge points. The access will be distributed with new purchases of a Volvo EX90 SUV, EX40, or EC40 electric vehicle starting in 2025.

Existing Volvo car owners can purchase new NACS adapters at authorized Volvo car retailers in the US and Canada for US$230/CA$310 MSRP starting today. These adapters will start shipping on November 18, 2024, and availability for EX30 will be announced later.

“Today we are taking a major step to providing access to easy and convenient charging infrastructure for Volvo drivers in the United States and Canada, furthering our commitment to EV adoption,” said Mike Cottone, President, of Volvo Car USA and Canada.

Polestar on the other hand has started offering NACS via local service point with deliveries in mid-November. Future Polestar products will use NACS inlet as standard. The Swedish car maker will also update Google Maps to show available NACS chargers.
