Swedish automaker Volvo Cars said Tuesday that it has signed a deal with Tesla that will allow drivers of its electric vehicles to charge at about 12,000 Tesla charging stations in North America starting next year.
Under the deal, Volvo’s EVs will be equipped with Tesla-designed plugs, called the North American Charging Standard, starting in 2025.
Volvo’s deal with Tesla appears identical to deals struck in recent weeks by Ford Motor, General Motors and Rivian.
While other rivals, including Hyundai and Chrysler parent Stellantis, have said they are considering similar moves, Volvo is the first European EV maker to formally commit to the NACS charging standard for its EVs sold in North America.
