Hyundai EV owners gain access to more than 20,000 Tesla Superchargers
Owners of eligible Hyundai EVs equipped with CCS charge ports can begin claiming their complimentary NACS charging adapters

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting today, U.S. owners of the current Hyundai KONA Electric, IONIQ Electric hatchback, IONIQ 5, and IONIQ 6 models equipped with a Combined Charging System (CCS) port gain access to 20,000 Tesla Superchargers in the United States using a North American Charging Standard (NACS) adapter. Current owners of Hyundai EVs who bought their vehicles on or before January 31, 2025, will begin receiving emails with instructions on how to redeem their adapters starting the week of April 7.

The Hyundai NACS adapter plugged into a 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5 in Fountain Valley, Calif. on March 5, 2025.

Hyundai designed this DC fast-charging adapter specifically to work with its battery electric vehicles, including its e-GMP high voltage platform. This milestone nearly doubles the availability of DC fast-charging stations for Hyundai models, greatly enhancing owners' convenience and peace of mind.

Complimentary CCS-to-NACS adapters are available to eligible owners of the following products:

"Starting today, more Hyundai EV customers will have access to 20,000 Tesla Superchargers across North America, doubling their fast-charging options," said Olabisi Boyle, senior vice president, product planning and mobility strategy, Hyundai Motor North America. "This move improves the public charging experience by giving our customers even more choice. It's a vital part of our commitment to ease America's transition to electric vehicle ownership."

Hyundai is accelerating electric vehicle adoption by:

Offering EVs with best-in-class charging speeds
Including native NACS ports on the 2025 IONIQ 5[i], upcoming 2026 IONIQ 9, and future EVs
Ramping U.S. EV and battery production in Savannah, GA
Expanding out-of-home EV charging support via the new IONNA joint-venture high-speed charging network, including offering special discounted charging rates for Hyundai customers
Providing opportunities to opt in for an out-of-home charging credit or receive a complimentary Level 2 Home charger with installation via Hyundai Home

To show appreciation for its EV customers, Hyundai is offering one DC fast-charging adapter per eligible vehicle at no cost to existing customers who purchased or leased their vehicle on or before January 31, 2025. To claim a complimentary adapter, eligible customers must have an active MyHyundai owner's account and must have opted to receive email communications. This Hyundai designed and authorized CCS-to-NACS adapter is essential for reliable charging at V3 Tesla Superchargers and other NACS DC fast charging stations. Eligible customers must complete the process within 60 days of receiving the email invitation to redeem their complimentary adapter.

How eligible owners can receive a fast-charging adapter:

Own an eligible Hyundai EV that was purchased/leased on or before January 31, 2025.
Have an active MyHyundai.com owner's account and have opted into receiving emails.
Eligible, contactable customers will receive an email from Hyundai beginning the week of April 7 to verify that their customer information account (shipping address, vehicle model, vehicle model year) is correct.
Customers must review and confirm the adapter offer and adapter usage terms and conditions.
If the customer agrees to the terms and conditions and confirms the shipping address is correct, then the customer can click 'Yes, the above information is correct' and an adapter will be shipped to that address.
If the shipping address is not correct, then the customer can click 'No, the above information is incorrect' and will be directed to MyHyundai.com to update the customer's shipping address. Updated addresses may take up to a week for a customer to receive a new email to redeem.
Eligible customers will then receive a confirmation email and a subsequent email containing a tracking number once the adapter has shipped.

Like the refreshed 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5, which already has access to the Tesla Supercharger network, all new and significantly updated Hyundai EV models will feature built-in NACS ports. The NACS ports eliminate the need for an adapter to access Tesla Superchargers and other DC fast charging stations. These NACS-native models do not need, and do not qualify for a complimentary adapter.

This complimentary-adapter offer applies to qualified Hyundai Motor America EV customers only. Hyundai Motor Canada will provide details regarding Supercharger access and adapter procurement for EV owners in its market later this year.
