Polestar Will Also Adopt Tesla's NACS Charging Port

Polestar has become the latest brand to announce plans to adopt Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) charging port. The announcement claims that new Polestar vehicles will be equipped with the ports starting in 2025, with adapters for existing Polestars available by mid-2024.

The Polestar decision is the latest in the rapidly-expanding push to turn NACS from an optimistic name into a reality. Polestar joins Ford, General Motors, Rivian, and Volvo in announcing plans to integrate the charging ports into their cars going forward. Yesterday, Volvo became the first European brand to announce plans for NACS. Now, Polestar becomes the second European brand and second all-electric brand to switch from CCS to NACS. Both Volvo and Polestar are subsidiaries of Geely, which also owns Lotus.
