<div id="readability-page-1">The first non-Tesla electric vehicle to equip the North American Charging Standard (NACS) inlet is here, helping drivers plug into Superchargers without the use of an NACS adapter. The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 will equip the NACS inlet and will come with a Combined Charging System (CCS) adapter, marking the first non-Tesla EV to hit the market that won’t require an adapter to plug in at Superchargers. The company decided last October it would adopt NACS. Hyundai announced the change today as it launched the IONIQ 5, which will make its way to customers later this year: “IONIQ 5 aims to further enhance customer satisfaction by being the first Hyundai model to come equipped with the Tesla North American Charging Standard (NACS) port. This port opens 17,000+ chargers on Tesla’s Supercharger network without using an adapter, doubling the size of the DC fast-charging network available to new IONIQ 5 customers. 2025 IONIQ 5 models also will be sold with a Combined Charging System (CCS) adapter. All-new or refreshed Hyundai EVs will come exclusively with a NACS port beginning in Q4 2024.” This is a move that many automakers are planning to make in the coming years as they adopted the NACS port over the past year. Tesla has the most robust EV charging network not only in the U.S. but on a global scale. The ease of access due to the availability of Superchargers across the country has helped push manufacturers to make this change. José Muñoz, president and global COO of Hyundai Motor Company and president and CEO of Hyundai Motor North America, said: “We’re continuing to give customers more of what they want by expanding the IONIQ 5 lineup with a dedicated off-road-capable XRT model, NACS port, design upgrades and a long list of features developed with customers in mind. The high-performance IONIQ 5 N shows how exciting EVs can be and has been a halo for our entire brand. We’re taking ‘America’s Most Awarded EV Lineup’ from strength to strength.” <h3>Built in the U.S. and Other Features</h3> The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 will pack several new features, including a bigger battery and more range, as well as an emphasis on modifications to both the interior and exterior. There will be several trim levels: the Limited, SE, SEL, and XRT for All-Wheel-Drive vehicles, and an SE, SEL, Limited, and SE Standard Range for Rear-Wheel-Drive. <img width="150" height="150" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://www.teslarati.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/hyundai-ioniq-5-2025-3-150x150.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://www.teslarati.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/hyundai-ioniq-5-2025-3-150x150.jpg"/> <img width="150" height="150" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://www.teslarati.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/hyundai-ioniq-5-2025-2-150x150.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://www.teslarati.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/hyundai-ioniq-5-2025-2-150x150.jpg"/> <img width="150" height="150" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://www.teslarati.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/hyundai-ioniq-5-2025-1-150x150.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://www.teslarati.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/hyundai-ioniq-5-2025-1-150x150.jpg"/> Interior changes include: <ul> <li>Redesigned HVAC controls</li> <li>New center console with physical heated front seat controls</li> <li>New steering wheel design</li> <li>Heated rear seats (SEL and above)</li> </ul> Meanwhile, Hyundai is adding the following exterior changes: <ul> <li>Restyled front and rear bumpers emphasize IONIQ’s wide, confident SUV stance</li> <li>New rear spoiler</li> <li>New, more aerodynamic wheels</li> <li>Available flush-type roof side rails</li> </ul> I’d love to hear from you!
