Stellantis switches to Tesla’s NACS (SAE J3400), eyes global rollout by 2027

Stellantis drops CCS for Tesla’s NACS (SAE J3400), starting with 2026 Jeep and Dodge EVs, and expanding to Japan and Korea in 2027—reshaping global EV charging.

Stellantis—the parent company of Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, and Peugeot—has officially joined the alliance of automakers moving to Tesla’s NACS (SAE J3400) connector. The company becomes the last major manufacturer to walk away from CCS in favor of Tesla’s more compact and dependable standard. The first models to ship with NACS will arrive in 2026: the Jeep Wagoneer S, Dodge Charger Daytona BEV, and Jeep Recon.

The bigger twist sits in the fine print: Stellantis plans to take NACS global. Starting in 2027, the company’s electric models in Japan and South Korea will also adopt Tesla’s plug. That’s a direct challenge to markets where CHAdeMO and local CCS variants have long held sway, and it signals a clear shift in charging politics across Asia.

Tesla has used this connector for years in the United States, Canada, Japan, and Korea, but this is the first time another automaker has announced such broad international backing. With that move, NACS evolves from a North American format into a serious contender for a genuinely worldwide standard.

Europe and China will be tougher to reshape, yet the direction of travel is hard to miss: Tesla’s compact, user-friendly connector is rapidly positioning itself as the most prevalent interface in the global EV landscape.
