Toyota and its luxury brand Lexus will utilize NACS with its battery electric vehicles (BEV) starting in 2025 — though which models will get it at that time remains unclear. The automotive company said that consumers can expect the NACS ports to be included on an “all-new, three-row, battery-electric Toyota SUV” earmarked for production in Kentucky. The NACS adapter for existing BEVs, meanwhile, will made available to owners starting in 2025, as well.
This marks the latest addition to a growing list of major automakers who are all-in on Tesla’s charging standard. GM, Ford, Nissan, and Honda are among those names, as are Mercedes, Rivian, and Polestar. With this announcement, all eyes are now on Stellantis, which has thus far dug in its heels and resisted peer pressure, stating in mid-June that it wasn’t ready to commit to Tesla’s standard — though it had said at the time that it was “evaluating” the possibility of getting on board.
