Hyundai’s new Tesla charging port comes up short


The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is as good as ever, but doesn’t play well with Tesla Superchargers at the moment.

Access would initially be accomplished with a Tesla adapter, but most of these automakers — Hyundai and Kia included — also agreed to integrate the NACS charging tech into their future EVs. The Ionna network, which is expected to have 30,000 NACS and CCS charging points by 2030, is a collaboration between BMW, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Kia, Stellantis, and Toyota. It’s fun to toss it into corners and get a little slidey, but the ABS system — while great on pavement — can interfere with traction and off-road stopping distances by not allowing any dirt to build up in front of the tire.
