North American Charging System (NACS), standardized as SAE J3400 by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), is the name for the charging connector used at certain charging stations, such as the Tesla Supercharger Network.

All Audi BEVs on the road today have charging ports designed to work with Combined Charging Standard (CCS1) connectors. Because Tesla Superchargers use North American Charging System (NACS) connectors, an Audi NACS DC Charging adapter will be required to charge at NACS Partner site stations.

Adapters are intended for DC fast charging use only. The Audi NACS DC Charging adapter is NOT for use with Home Chargers, Mobile Connectors, Tesla Destination Chargers, or any other AC chargers. Improper use or installation of the Audi NACS DC charging adapter may cause severe damage and/or injury.

Beginning in September, new buyers of Audi Q6 e-tron / A6 Sportback e-tron / e-tron GT model families will receive the Audi NACS DC charging adapter as a port installed accessory. Availability of the adapter for purchase by existing Audi e-tron model owners is subject to a future announcement. The Q4 e-tron is subject to a future announcement. The Q4 e-tron is not currently able to utilize the Audi NACS DC adapter or any other NACS adapter.

The Audi NACS DC Charging Adapter has an MSRP of $200 as a port installed accessory. Availability of the adapter for purchase by existing e-tron model owners is subject to a future announcement.

Limited NACS Partner DC fast charging network stations are equipped with a “magic dock”; a built-in adapter available for customer use. Most compatible NACS Partner DC fast charging network stations will require the customer to bring their own Audi NACS DC Charging Adapter.

Starting in September, the myAudi app and Audi Navigation will show available compatible NACS Partner DC fast charging stations. To start and pay for charging sessions please use the Tesla app. Use of Tesla Superchargers require cellular connectivity, compatible vehicle hardware, Tesla mobile app download and account registration, set up of payment method, and acceptance of Tesla’s Privacy Notice and Terms of Use. Tesla Supercharger location information is provided by Tesla. Audi is not responsible for the accuracy of charger location, charger availability, charger compatibility, pricing & payment options. Tesla Supercharger costs and fees will be billed by Tesla to the payment method you’ve set up in the Tesla app. The Tesla app and Tesla Superchargers are provided by Tesla and their continued compatibility, and availability are outside of Audi’s control (message and data rates may apply).

Yes, in addition to finding NACS Partner DC fast charging network station locations via the myAudi app, the Audi Navigation within the vehicle’s MMI will also display available charging stations, including Electrify America and compatible NACS Partner DC fast charging stations. Only available and compatible charging locations for Audi will be displayed in both the myAudi app and the MMI of the vehicle.

No, Electrify America energy credits may only be redeemed at Electrify America charging stations.

The Audi NACS DC adapter is certified to UL 2252, and protected by multiple onboard safety systems, including temp sensors and insulation monitoring. It is also built with high-grade, heat-resistant materials.
