TECH - Elon Musk Applauds Subaru's Decision To Adopt Tesla's Charging Standard: 'Cool' | Benzinga

Elon Musk, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO, has expressed his approval of Subaru’s (OTC:FUJHY) decision to adopt Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) starting in 2025.

What Happened: Automotive enthusiast and Tesla investor Sawyer Merritt shared the press release by Subaru where it announced the adoption of NACS at the beginning of 2025. The decision is part of Subaru’s larger goal of "aiming for 50 percent of total global sales to be BEVs [Battery Electric Vehicles in 2030" and to contribute to the achievement of carbon neutrality.

“Customers of NACS-compatible Subaru BEVs will gain access to more than 15,000 Tesla Superchargers across North America, significantly enhancing charging convenience,” a part of the statement read.

Musk responded to Merritt’s post with a “Cool.”

Subaru’s decision to follow the NACS marks a significant step towards standardization in the EV charging infrastructure.
