One of the biggest EV charging networks in the United States, EVgo, is ramping up efforts to install Tesla-style NACS cables at its stations across the country. After a successful pilot in 2025, when the company installed nearly 100 NACS connectors across 22 metropolitan areas, the charging network wants to supercharge the deployment this year, with more than 500 NACS connectors set to go online by the end of 2026 at its 350-kilowatt-capable stations.

Stellantis will adopt Tesla's North American Charging System (NACS) across select battery-electric vehicles starting in 2026, giving customers access to more than 28,000 Tesla Superchargers across five countries. The rollout begins in North America early next year before expanding to Japan and South Korea in 2027, significantly boosting public fast-charging access for Jeep, Dodge, and other Stellantis brands. The move marks one of Stellantis' largest infrastructure expansions to date.

For years, it was assumed that concerns about the charging network were the sole reason why Tesla was seeing such runaway success. After all, Tesla had successfully convinced its customers that its cars and charging network came with almost no compromisesthat they could be used just like gas vehicles. And if other EVs couldn't offer the same experience, they were essentially destined to fail.

The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt is a massive leap over its predecessor. It comes with more driving range, adopts a Tesla-style charging port and perhaps most importantly, it finally now fast-charge at respectable speeds. That means road trips will be a whole lot less painful, and your hair won't turn gray while it's plugged in. During a media briefing with reporters on Thursday, Chevrolet shared how it improved the Bolt's charging performance.

The Rivian Adventure Network is retrofitting over 400 DC fast chargers in the U.S. to support Tesla's NACS connectors, enhancing compatibility for EVs.
