    Fisker Joins Others to Adopt Tesla's NACS Charging

    Fisker Inc. announced today that, starting in the first quarter of 2025, Fisker drivers will be able to charge at Tesla's 12,000 Supercharger Stations in the U.S. and Canada. All current and future Fiskers will be eligible.

    Current model drivers will use an NACS adapter, but a future refresh is planned to change the charge port on the vehicles to the NACS model.  Those future vehicles will be supplied with a CCS to NACS adapter, ensuring broad compatibility.

    This move by Fisker will more than double the number of public chargers available to Fisker drivers when it comes into effect.

    Awesome to see more are adopting this to take away another excuse by the EV haters that you cannot charge an EV.

    This is also good news to see additional vendors get approval to built the NACS ports and cables.

    I need to make up a list of who has joined the NACS bandwagon.  I'm thinking about building an EV resources page on here for stuff like that.

    Yeah, but I think I want a consolidated page. Less of an article and more of a chart.

    Acura and Honda have joined the NACS camp for North America now. Probably GM had something to do with this.

    I mean, that was a no-brainer for Honda/Acura since they're going to use the Ultium platform.  They just needed to negotiate the contractual stuff with Tesla on their own.

    I forgot Fisker existed.

    Partly because Fisker will not be offered in Quebec.  I just learned than right now when googling andn hence why up here, I dont get a lot of info on them.

    The Ocean ius set to start at 43 000 CDN in Canada. Vancouver and Toronto.    Im guessing its 30 000 US dollars.  

    I googled again and in the US, its MSRP is supposedly 37 000 US dollars.   Deliveries start in September for both countires.

    But the prices spike up very high after the base model.   Like very high. 

     

    The base model has a 250 mile range.  The next one up is 340 miles but at 50 000 US dollars.   Yowza!  That is not how market share will be taken away from Tesla.  Sure the Ocean looks great, but Tesla has its market down pat.  Last time Fisker and Tesla competed on on one, Tesla won!  

     

    And Fisker doesnt even want to sell in Quebec, in which Quebecois are more easily convinced in buying EVs moreso than in Ontario.  Sure Toronto is Canada's biggest city, but Toronto does not have an EV friendly mayor.  Montreal not only has an EV friendly mayor, the Minister, Monsieur Legault is also a friendly EV type of guy.  And THAT is also because Quebec has ALL the things going for it fior the adoption of EVs...  

    Its a stupid miscalculation of Fisker to ignore Quebec...   Costly mistake perhaps?

    Agree that I like the looks of the Fisker Ocean and think there is potential for the base model, but prices jump so fast once you add options or move to the larger battery pack that I think it will be very limited in appeal to consumers.

    Then you have the whole build it in Europe, Graz Austria to be exact, then ship to America and no tax breaks.

      Sadly, my dad had considered back in the 70's of becoming an AAMCO Franchise, but after starting down the rabbit hole, discovered things he was not thrilled with and choose to stay independent. As such, the whole Icahn approach to how they run things has turned me off from these companies. I have little faith in them being honorable and more about how to take your money and give little back.

      I went and looked at their wikipedia and their tangled web of finance and ownership would make the Volkswagen Automotive Group blush.

      @ccap41 @Drew Dowdell  Pep Boys is currently owned by Icahn Automotive Group LLC Icahn Automotive Group LLC owns Pep Boys, Auto Plus, Precision Tune Auto Care, AAMCO Total Auto Care I agree that once the lawsuit is over I can see VW picking up the servicing of Scout EVs. 350 miles of range for the Truck or SUV with AA/CP if they support it on an 800V system is a win and will have me very interested in the EVs to own.

      These were awesome engines, just needed a huge engine bay as any straight-line engine needs. I call BS on this, I feel that if you cannot respect the cost of taking care of your truck and to me abuse it by damaging it, then your just lazy and clearly have no idea about how to use tools properly. I have heavily used my trucks, SUVs and CARs and never babied them, but always kept them looking sharp. Yes, accidents happen and sometimes when one is tired you might put a scratch on it, but this truck has just been abused by someone that does not care. His statement of a Truck you're afraid to beat-up is no longer a truck is BS, you do not need to beat up a truck to still have it as a useful tool. A person who abuses their vehicles tells me a ton about their approach to how they work and live and they are just lazy and do not care. Do you really want a person like that working with you or doing work for you when they cannot take any pride in their own tools, makes one question if they would really take any pride in their job, products they do, etc.
