Honda, leading Japanese manufacturer of cars for the world market will launch it’s first Electric vehicle with the NACS port in 2025.
*NACS: North American Charging Standard also known as the Tesla Electric vehicle charging standard.
Just like any other automaker making a switch, Honda announced on Thursday that it will be joining other electric vehicle manufacturers, such as Ford and GM, in adopting Tesla’s charging technology.
Therefore, all all Honda EVs sold in the region of North America will have the Tesla charging port.
In the U.S., Tesla has about 17,000 Supercharger stations. There are about 54,000 public charging stations in total (including Tesla), according to the Department of Energy, but many charge much more slowly than the Tesla stations.
Analysts say that Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector and cord are much lighter and easier to handle than the Combined Charging System (CCS) used by the rest of the auto industry.
