In a major step toward its all-electric future, Jaguar has officially announced a strategic partnership with Tesla. This collaboration grants Jaguar electric vehicle owners access to Tesla’s Supercharger network across the United States, Canada, and Mexico—marking a pivotal move in unifying the global EV ecosystem.
Jaguar Embraces Tesla’s NACS Charging Standard
Jaguar’s upcoming line of electric vehicles, set to launch in 2025, will feature Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector. This means new Jaguar EVs will be able to charge directly at Tesla Superchargers without the need for an adapter.
This integration highlights Jaguar’s dedication to delivering seamless and convenient EV charging experiences for its customers.
Support for Current Jaguar I-Pace Owners
The British automaker hasn’t forgotten its current EV drivers. Owners of the Jaguar I-Pace will gain access to NACS adapters, supplied by Tesla, expected to roll out in 2024. This ensures existing Jaguar customers can benefit from the same fast-charging convenience that future models will enjoy.
Jaguar’s move mirrors the broader industry trend of transitioning from the CCS1 connector to Tesla’s NACS across North America, following similar announcements from major automakers.
