What sucks is, Tesla's chargers will only charge Hyundai/Kia vehicles very slowly (50kW) due to a mismatch between their 400V and the 800V of the cars. I was hoping that they'd announce a fix to this, but... nope.
Cynically, this is probably why they're releasing new, NACS-enabled cars (which will presumably charge at full speed on Tesla chargers) before releasing the adapter -- so that when owners of the existing cars realize how bad the experience is, new buyers will already have a better car available to buy, and won't need to worry about how this transition screwed over everyone who already bought a Hyundai/Kia EV.
- Armisael16 3y agoThe v4 superchargers are supposed to support 800V charging. They’re only just starting to be rolled out, unfortunately, but anyone who can hold out will probably end up okay.
- hnburnsy 3y agoTesla said in a recent segment with Jay Leno that the Cyber truck will share a 800-1000v architecture with the semi.
- Tagbert 3y agoIt seems that Tesla plans to upgrade their charging network to support higher voltages for charging. This is also needed for their upcoming truck, it seems. Hyundai suggested in a response to Green Car Reports that Tesla is on board to support its EVs' charge rates: “Tesla’s commitment to expanding its network will enhance customer access to out-of-home charging and fully support the ultra-fast charging speeds on Hyundai’s advanced Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) vehicles, including Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 and the upcoming Ioniq 7.” https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1141026_hyundai-evs-get-tesla-nacs-charge-port-starting-late-2024 https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1141026_hyundai-evs-get...
