NACS Adapter Compatibility by Brand
One table for the whole transition: who has which port, which adapter that means at home, and which one on the road. Sourced to the manufacturers, with the gaps marked as gaps.

The connector transition is being reported one press release at a time, which makes it hard to answer the only question an owner has: what do I need to buy? This page puts the makes side by side. It covers two different adapters that people constantly conflate - the cheap passive AC adapter that matters in your garage, and the manufacturer DC adapter that matters at a fast charger.
Read this first.A native NACS port does not mean "no adapters." It moves the adapter from the road to the driveway: NACS cars need a small AC adapter for the huge J1772 Level 2 network, and CCS cars need a DC adapter for Superchargers. Nobody escapes entirely, and both parts are cheap next to the charger itself.
The table
| Brand | Port | For a J1772 home charger | For Tesla Superchargers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tesla | NACS | J1772-to-NACS adapter (ships with the car) | Native, no adapter |
| Hyundai | Native NACS on the 2025 IONIQ 5 and 2026 IONIQ 9 (not IONIQ 5 N); CCS on the rest | NACS cars: J1772-to-NACS adapter. CCS cars: nothing | NACS cars: native. CCS cars: Hyundai NACS DC adapter |
| Kia | Native NACS on the 2025 EV6 and 2026 EV9; CCS on the rest | NACS cars: J1772-to-NACS adapter. CCS cars: nothing | NACS cars: native. CCS cars: Kia NACS DC adapter |
| Rivian | CCS on 2022-2025; NACS from model year 2026 | 2026+: J1772-to-NACS adapter. 2022-2025: nothing | 2026+: native. 2022-2025: Rivian NACS DC adapter |
| GM (Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac) | CCS on the ten 2026 models GM lists; native NACS on the 2026 Optiq and the new Bolt; GM expects all EVs to launch with NACS by 2027 | NACS cars: J1772-to-NACS adapter. CCS cars: nothing | NACS cars: native. CCS cars: GM NACS DC adapter |
| Ford | J1772 / CCS1 on the Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning; NACS announced for later vehicles | Nothing on a CCS1 car | Ford NACS DC adapter |
Every row above traces to a manufacturer statement listed in Sources, except the Ford model-year cutover, which we could not confirm from Ford's own documentation and have therefore left unstated rather than guessed. For any car, the authoritative check is the inlet itself: how to tell if your EV has NACS or J1772.
The per-brand pages
- Ford- Mach-E and F-150 Lightning, and why the home answer is "nothing."
- Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac - GM's published model list, and what changes at home.
- Hyundai and Kia - the makes that went NACS first, and the 800-volt catch.
- Rivian - the model year most of the internet gets wrong.
- Tesla - the adapter already in your trunk well.
What none of this changes
The wall charger. A J1772 Level 2 unit serves a J1772 car directly and a NACS car through a small adapter, at exactly the same speed, because the plug shape does not alter the power - that is the point of J1772 vs NACS connectors. So the transition is not a reason to delay installing a charger, which is the single upgrade that makes an EV cheap to run. Buy from the main Level 2 roundup, size the circuit with the amperage guide, and treat the connector as a five-minute shopping decision at the end.

Questions
Frequently asked
Which EV brands have a native NACS port right now?
Tesla throughout; Hyundai on the 2025 IONIQ 5 and 2026 IONIQ 9; Kia on the 2025 EV6 and 2026 EV9; Rivian from model year 2026; GM on the 2026 Cadillac Optiq and the new Bolt, with GM expecting all its EVs to launch with NACS by 2027.
Does a native NACS port mean I never need an adapter?
No - it reverses which one you need. A NACS car plugs into a Supercharger without an adapter but needs a small J1772-to-NACS AC adapter for the far larger J1772 Level 2 network, including most home chargers.
Is the manufacturer DC adapter the same as the cheap plug adapter?
No. Manufacturer NACS DC adapters are active, vehicle-validated devices for fast charging. The inexpensive passive adapters are AC-only, for home and destination charging. They are not interchangeable.
Should the connector change which home charger I buy?
Rarely. A J1772 wall charger plus a cheap adapter covers both worlds and stays useful as cars change. A native NACS wall unit is worth it mainly if you want no dongle and every car in the driveway is NACS.
