Volvo Cars to Open Access to More Than 17,800 NACS Charging Points Through Tesla Supercharger Network

Volvo Cars continues its journey to electrification, opening access to more than 17,800 Tesla Supercharger stations in the U.S. and Canada to create more flexibility for drivers of its fully electric vehicles, including the new EX90 flagship SUV.

These new charging points complement Volvo drivers’ access to tens of thousands of fast-charge points. Starting with model year 2025, an adapter included with purchasing a new Volvo EX90 flagship SUV, EX40, or EC40 fully electric vehicle will enable charging at Tesla Superchargers and other North American Charging Standard (NACS) chargers.

NACS adapters are also available to drivers of current fully electric Volvo cars. Starting today, they can be ordered at authorized Volvo Cars retailers in the United States and Canada for US$230/CA$310 MSRP. Adapters will begin shipping to retailers on November 18, 2024. The availability of adapters for the EX30 will be announced later.

With the Volvo Cars app, drivers of fully electric Volvo cars in the United States and Canada can find tens of thousands of public charging stations, get real-time information on charger availability, and pay for their charging session through one interface, making charging a Volvo car easy. Charging stations—and directions to them—can also be found by asking the Google Assistant in the infotainment system.

“As part of our journey to electrification, we want to make life with an electric car, including our new flagship EX90, as seamless as possible,” said Mike Cottone, President of Volvo Car USA and Canada. “Today, we are taking a major step to provide access to easy and convenient charging infrastructure for Volvo drivers in the United States and Canada, furthering our commitment to EV adoption.”
