One of the pivotal features of this alliance is the integration of the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector in all new Jaguars sold in these regions from 2025 onwards. This design feature negates the need for an adapter, making the charging process seamless for Jaguar owners. Moreover, Jaguar plans to procure adapters from Tesla, ensuring that I-PACE drivers can also benefit from this integration once these adapters become available.

The Supercharger network’s reliability and user-friendliness, combined with Jaguar’s cutting-edge battery and power electronics technology, ensure optimized charging on both V3 and V4 Superchargers. This integration reassures Jaguar drivers of consistent, high-powered charging regardless of the Supercharger type. Furthermore, as Mark Camilleri, Director of Electrification Services, emphasized, while most EV charging occurs at home, drivers also desire quick and dependable charging solutions on the go.
