Fisker has become the latest automaker to announce plans to adopt the North American Charging Standard (NACS).
In a short statement, the automaker said they signed an agreement with Tesla to provide owners with access to 12,000 Supercharger stations in the United States and Canada.
More importantly, the company announced plans to adopt NACS in 2025. Fisker didn’t go into many specifics, but said “customers will utilize a NACS adapter to plug in at Superchargers starting in Q1 2025” and they’ll “later update vehicle engineering to include an NACS inlet.” Once the changeover takes place, owners will receive a Combined Charging System (CCS) adapter to use with existing chargers.

While Henrik Fisker isn’t exactly Elon Musk’s greatest fan, the company said the move was “driven by a mission to create the world’s most emotional and sustainable electric vehicles.”
Of course, it’s looking more and more like NACS is the charging standard of the future. Ford got the ball rolling and GM’s adoption further accelerated the shift. Since then, Mercedes, Nissan, Volvo, Polestar, and Rivian have all announced plans to embrace NACS. This has also pushed electric charging firms, such as the EVgo and Electrify America, to follow suit.
More automakers are expected to adopt the standard in the future, putting pressure on the remaining CCS holdouts. That being said, the use of adaptors should ensure everyone can get a charge regardless of which standard their vehicle supports.
