Kia Pushes Tesla Supercharger Access to Spring 2025—EV Owners, Hang Tight!
In a surprising move, Kia has delayed the access of its electric vehicle owners to Tesla's Supercharger network from the initially anticipated January 15, 2025, to Spring 2025. The postponement comes with a promise of free adapters for new Kia EV9 (2024/2025) and EV6 (2024) buyers, though earlier model owners will need to purchase them separately. With competitors like Ford and GM already plugged into the Tesla network, Kia faces pressure to keep its EV appeal alive. Analysts worry the delay could cost potential customers, given the competitive landscape.
