New products to plan?
What’s interesting about this deal between Mazda and Tesla is between the lines. Indeed, according to the press release, Mazda mentions that it will adopt the North American charging standard (NACS) for the charging ports of its electric vehicles which will be launched in North America from 2025.

It will therefore be necessary to monitor the manufacturer’s upcoming announcements concerning the Japanese brand’s future electric products.

In fact, owners of Mazda electric vehicles will have access to more than 15,000 superchargers on the Tesla network. Mazda, however, did not provide additional details on the integration of additional features into the Mazda app, as other manufacturers have announced. Same thing for the adapters, no details have been provided regarding the availability of the latter.
