Volkswagen has announced that it will now have access to Tesla’s Supercharger electric-vehicle charging network.
If you own an ID.4 or ID.Buzz, you can access the network starting on Nov. 18, 2025. VW will be selling a DC fast-charging adapter that can connect the Combined Charging System (CCS) to the North American Charging System (NACS) both online and at dealers. You’ll need the adapter to connect your Volkswagen to the Supercharger system.
The adapters will cost $200 for the owners of model-year 2025 vehicles, with a $100 rebate available to knock that price in half. All 2026 Volkswagen EVs will come standard with the adapter.
“This is great news for our EV owners,” said Petar Danilovic, Senior Vice President, Product Marketing and Strategy, Volkswagen of America, in a press release. “They will now be able to access the more than 25,000 DC fast chargers on the Tesla Supercharger network across the United States, in addition to the more than 5,000 fast chargers on Electrify America’s grid. This makes life much more convenient, whether you are taking a road trip or you rely on public charging should home charging not be an option.”
These adapters won’t work with Level 1 or Level 2 AC chargers. These are for DC Level 3 chargers, thanks.
VW owners will be able to use the Tesla app to find stations and pay for the juice.
