Volkswagen EVs Gain Tesla Supercharger Access

Finally, Volkswagen’s battery-electric vehicles have access to Tesla Superchargers! That means if you drive an ID.4 or ID. Buzz, you now have more options for DC charging. How many more chargers? 25,000 compatible stations in the Tesla Supercharger network, to be exact. Volkswagen EV drivers gain access starting November 18 through an approved NACS adapter.

Existing owners of the ID.4 and ID. Buzz can purchase the adapter through a Volkswagen dealer or online at the automaker’s parts portal. How much will it cost? $200. A fairly reasonable price, considering General Motors, Ford, and other automakers charge more than that for their approved NACS adapter. On top of that, all 2025 ID.4 and ID. Buzz owners are eligible for $100 rebate. However, all rebates must be submitted 90 days after the purchase date and no later than July 15, 2026. Moreover, the 2026 ID.4 and ID. Buzz comes standard with an NACS adapter.

The addition of VW adds another automaker with Tesla Supercharger access, making it even more viable to take EVs on longer drives. Additionally, nearly every VW Group brand in the U.S. now has Tesla Supercharger access. Only Bentley and Lamborghini remain without access, but they currently only have hybrids, plug-in hybrids, or pure gas vehicles in their lineup. Furthermore, the addition of the ID.4 and ID. Buzz means the Audi Q4 e-tron should gain access soon. That vehicle shares its mechanical components with the ID.4 and ID. Buzz.

How many automakers are left that don’t have access to Tesla Superchargers? Not many. According to Tesla, only BMW Group and Subaru are left. However, the latter gains access late this month through an adapter, followed by the former before the end of the year. That leaves Stellantis’ brands, Mazda, and VinFast as the final Tesla Supercharger holdouts.
