According to Sawyer Merritt, Volkswagen has announced that its electric vehicles (EVs) will gain access to over 25,000 Tesla Superchargers in North America starting November 18th, 2025. Volkswagen customers will need to purchase a VW-approved NACS adapter to use the North American Charging System (NACS) with compatible models, such as the ID.4 and ID. Buzz. This move leverages advanced AI-powered charging network management, optimizing energy distribution and improving user experience through real-time data and predictive analytics. For current ID.4 and ID. Buzz owners, the adapter is priced at $200, with a $100 rebate for original owners of MY25 models. This partnership signals a significant shift toward interoperability in EV infrastructure, opening new opportunities for AI-driven charging optimization, enhanced driver services, and business models around data analytics and smart energy management (Source: Sawyer Merritt on Twitter).

According to Sawyer Merritt, as of today, Toyota EV owners can now access the Tesla Supercharger network, which includes over 25,000 fast-charging locations across North America (source: @SawyerMerritt, Twitter). This integration creates significant opportunities for AI-driven charging management platforms to optimize energy distribution, predict charger demand, and enhance user experience for a broader set of EV drivers. Automotive and AI companies can leverage this expanded network by developing advanced route planning apps and dynamic pricing models using machine learning, directly impacting EV adoption and business models in the smart mobility ecosystem.
