Electric Volvos Now Have Access To Tesla Supercharger Stations

Beginning today, all-electric Volvo owners have access to the North American Tesla Supercharger network. The automaker is rolling out details about how its customers can charge up at the newly integrated stations. Some owners will need an adapter while others will end up with a car that already has an NACS port.

Specifically, electric Volvo owners now have an additional 17,800 places to charge across the USA and Canada. To take advantage of those stations, current owners of electric Volvo cars will need an NACS adapter. Those are now available through dealers for $230 but keep in mind that they won’t begin shipping until November 18. It’s worth noting that the EX30 is not included in this rollout. Volvo says that “availability of adapters for the EX30 will be announced later.”

“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, Volvo Car USA and Canada. “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.”

Volvo’s 2025 lineup of EVs will come standard with a NACS adapter. In all cases, Volvo owners will need to use the Tesla application on their smartphone to use the Supercharger network. They can find other charging locations through the Volvo Cars application. It’s also worth noting that Polestar vehicles also gained access to the Supercharger network today with similar timelines and constraints.

All of this comes as more and more automakers are switching to NACS and enabling access for their customer base. Ford, Hyundai, and General Motors all provide a measure of Supercharger access at this point and other brands are planning similar moves, including newly relaunched Scout.
