Jaguar Secures Tesla Supercharger Network Access for Upcoming EVs
In an exciting development, Jaguar has recently gained access to the Tesla Supercharger network, opening up opportunities for their customers in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
This British car manufacturer has signed an agreement that will ensure compatibility between its upcoming electric vehicles (EVs) and the vast network of over 12,000 Tesla chargers, which employ the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector.
While Jaguar’s current electric car, the I-Pace, does not use the NACS connector, the company plans to provide adapters from Tesla to I-Pace customers once they become available. Looking ahead, Jaguar has committed to incorporating the NACS connector into its future EVs, scheduled for release starting in 2025. This move will make Jaguar’s electric cars compatible with the Tesla Supercharger network without the need for an adapter.
Jaguar made waves in 2018 when it launched the I-Pace as one of the first legacy automakers to embrace all-electric vehicles. However, the brand has remained relatively quiet in the EV market since then. Under the Reimagine strategy of its parent company JLR (formerly Jaguar Land Rover), the Jaguar brand is set to make a grand return in 2025 as an upscale, all-electric carmaker.
In acknowledging the convenience and reach of Tesla’s Supercharger network, Jaguar expressed how its battery and vehicle electronics technology have been specifically designed to optimize charging rates on both the third and fourth generations of Tesla Superchargers.
The fourth-generation Supercharger, capable of delivering power at up to 350 kW, matches the charging rates offered by rapid chargers from other networks such as Electrify America and Ionity. While most electric cars currently recharge at a rate of around 150 kW to 250 kW, exceptions like the Porsche Taycan and Kia EV6 can charge at approximately 270 kW. The third-generation Supercharger still provides ample charging capacity for the majority of EVs on the road today, topping out at 250 kW.
JLR’s director of electrification services, Mark Camilleri, stated, “Tesla has created a charging network across the globe that delivers this, and we are delighted to be working with them to provide access for Jaguar clients. This agreement will enable Jaguar drivers with NACS-equipped vehicles in the USA, Canada, and Mexico to use Superchargers without an adapter.”
Jaguar joins a growing list of car brands committed to ensuring compatibility with Tesla’s charging network. This year alone, major brands like Ford, Mercedes, Honda, Nissan, Polestar, Volvo, General Motors, and EV startup Rivian have made similar pledges.
In Europe, where the CCS charger standard is prevalent, Tesla has initiated a pilot project allowing other EVs to utilize some of its Supercharger stations for charging.
