Porsche EV Drivers Gain Access to Tesla Supercharger Network
Owners of the Porsche Taycan sedan and Macan Electric SUV will suddenly have more than 23,500 new options for charging their electric vehicles in public as of Tuesday. That’s when the German brand’s agreement with Tesla takes effect, granting Porsche EVs access to Tesla’s Superchargers, the single largest DC fast-charging network in North America.

Porsche is calling this a soft launch, as its owners will still have to download the Tesla app to locate plugs and pay for charging for the time being. The ability to pay for juice through the brand’s native My Porsche app will be added in the coming months. A software update will add the locations of Tesla’s charging stations to the Macan Electric’s navigation system by the end of 2025, with the Taycan to follow; the navigation features will be standard in model-year 2026 vehicles.
As of this writing, Porsche has not announced plans to incorporate Tesla’s North American Charging Standard charge port into its vehicles, but model-year 2026 Taycans and Macan Electrics will include the adapter necessary to allow their Combined Charging System ports to accept a NACS plug. Adapters are available at no charge for existing owners of 2025 Taycans and all Macan Electrics, but those with Taycans prior to 2025 will have to pay $185 for one; they are available online and at Porsche dealerships.
