Mazda announced an agreement with Tesla to adopt the NACS charging standard in Japan. The Japanese automaker will integrate the plugs into its vehicles from 2027 onwards.
Tesla’s Charging Plug Begins World Takeover
The NACS plug is rapidly becoming the default choice for charging in the U.S. and Canada, replacing other standard plugs used by most EVs.
Mazda’s move to add NACS in Japan aims to enhance customer convenience and enable access to Tesla Superchargers in the country.
Move Could Boost Mazda EV Prominence
Mazda’s adoption of NACS in Japan could position it as a leader in EV technology, with plans to introduce new EV models in the coming years.
While Mazda lags behind in the U.S., its strategic shift towards NACS charging could pave the way for future success and innovation.
This transformation places Mazda at the forefront of EV development and aligns with the global shift towards sustainable transportation.
