Mazda Adopts Tesla's Charging Standard for Upcoming Electric Vehicles in North America
January 09 2024,
Mazda Motor Corporation has formally announced its plan to integrate the North American Charging Standard (NACS), initiated by Tesla, Inc., into its forthcoming Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) within the North American region, beginning in 2025. This noteworthy alliance represents a major advancement for future Mazda EV drivers, who will gain from an already established EV infrastructure.
Mazda BEVs in North America will now come fitted with chargers compatible with NACS as part of this new accord. Mazda's choice to adopt this standard aims to improve the EV charging experience for its clientele by leveraging Tesla's extensive network, comprising over 15,000 Superchargers across the continent. This broad charging network is poised to substantially elevate Mazda's ambitions in electric mobility, ensuring Mazda BEV users have extensive access to one of the most efficient and widespread charging infrastructures in North America.
Mazda Canada highlights how this initiative aligns with Mazda's overall mission. Embracing NACS reflects Mazda's commitment to its 'Joy of Driving' ethos, integral to its brand. Yet, this move extends beyond mere driving enjoyment. Mazda's integration of NACS into future BEVs is intended to enhance the 'Joy of Living' for its customers, focusing on improving their everyday life, not just offering a pleasant driving experience but also broadening charging options for greater convenience.
Mazda's partnership with Tesla marks a major progression in Mazda's EV journey, incorporating industry standards to cultivate a more interconnected and user-friendly EV environment. By adopting NACS, Mazda not only broadens the utility of its electric lineup but also emphasizes its dedication to a customer-focused philosophy, central to its 'Human Centric' approach.
As the car industry evolves towards electric mobility, Mazda's choice to utilize NACS showcases its adaptability and forward-thinking mindset. This strategy is anticipated to be instrumental in defining Mazda's electric trajectory in North America, blending driving enjoyment with environmental awareness.
