Stellantis becomes the last major automaker to adopt Tesla’s charging plug


Stellantis was the last major automaker to commit.

Interestingly enough, Stellantis’ press release on the announcement makes zero mention of “Tesla,” instead referring to the company’s charging plug under its official standard name, SAE J3400. Most recently, Volkswagen Group — one of the world’s largest automakers, with brands like Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, and Lamborghini under its umbrella — announced it would be adopting NACS, leaving Stellantis as the last remaining holdout. Stellantis, along with BMW, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, and Mercedes-Benz, is involved in a joint venture to install fast-charging EV stations along major highways and in cities in the US.
