Jaguar has taken a giant leap towards making electric vehicle (EV) charging more accessible and convenient by partnering with Tesla. This groundbreaking collaboration will enable Jaguar owners to charge their vehicles at Tesla Supercharger stations across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. But that’s not all starting in 2025, all new Jaguar models will come equipped with Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS), eliminating the need for adapters and simplifying the charging process.
A Seamless Charging Experience
The real winner in this partnership is the consumer, as it promises a charging experience that is both straightforward and hassle-free. If you’re considering purchasing a new Jaguar, you can now enjoy the convenience of using Tesla Superchargers without the need for any additional equipment. And for current Jaguar I-Pace owners, the automaker has got you covered with NACS adapters, expected to be available in 2024, ensuring you can benefit from Tesla’s charging infrastructure.
Jaguar’s Bold Electrification Strategy
This strategic alliance is a significant step in Jaguar’s ambitious plan to transition into a fully electric vehicle manufacturer. Under its “Reimagine” strategy, Jaguar is on a mission to redefine itself as a leading luxury brand specializing in all-electric vehicles. What makes this move even more exciting is the potential adoption of the NACS charging standard by Land Rover, a sister company under the Jaguar Land Rover umbrella. This move towards standardization promises a more user-friendly and consistent EV charging experience.
Joining the NACS Revolution
Jaguar now joins a growing list of automakers, including Ford, GM, and Nissan, that have embraced the NACS charging standard. Mark Camilleri, Jaguar’s Director of Electrification Services, succinctly captures the essence of this partnership, stating, “Tesla’s global charging network offers what our clients want—fast, reliable, and convenient charging.”
As the electric vehicle industry continues to evolve, partnerships like this one between Jaguar and Tesla are pivotal in shaping a future where EV owners can enjoy a seamless and universally compatible charging experience, regardless of their vehicle’s make or model.
