More than 17,800 Tesla Supercharger stations in the U.S. and Canada will soon be able to charge your Volvo electric car battery. This should make it much easier for Volvo drivers to find a place to charge, even though they already have access to tens of thousands of fast charging points.
Starting November 18, drivers will be able to find Tesla Superchargers through the Volvo Cars app or built-in Google Maps. You can also pay for your charging session via the Volvo Cars app.
However, there is one small pitfall, especially if you’ve owned a Volvo EV for a while. An adapter is required to access Tesla Superchargers and other North American Charging Standard (NACS) chargers. It is priced at $230 (CAD $310) and can be ordered from an authorized Volvo retailer. The automaker will begin shipping it to retailers on November 18, but an adapter for the EX30 will be available at a later date. That said, Volvo will include an adapter with the purchase of its new flagship SUV EX90, EX40, or EC40 starting with the 2025 model year.
Volvo announced in June 2023 that it will support Tesla Supercharger and NCAS. The company is one of many automakers supporting a more standardized approach to EV charging in North America.
