Stellantis NV (STLA), the parent company behind Jeep, Chrysler, and Dodge, is jumping on the Tesla charging bandwagon. The automaker announced Tuesday it will adopt NACS (North American Charging Standard) ports on its electric vehicles, giving owners access to Tesla Inc.'s (TSLA) sprawling Supercharger network.

Rolling Out Across Multiple Markets

The charging partnership kicks off in 2026 for North American customers who buy the Jeep Wagoneer EV or Dodge Charger Daytona. Future Stellantis EVs, including the 2026 Jeep Recon, will come with NACS ports built in from the factory.

By 2027, the program expands internationally to Japan and South Korea. All told, Stellantis owners will get access to more than 28,000 Tesla Superchargers across all five countries, according to the company's statement. Additional details are expected down the road.

Navigating Recalls and Ramping Up U.S. Production

The charging news arrives during a turbulent period for Stellantis. The company recently recalled over 320,000 plug-in hybrid vehicles—228,221 units of the 2022-2026 Grand Cherokee 4Xe and 91,844 units of the 2020-2025 Jeep Wrangler 4Xe—due to battery fire risks.

Despite the recall headaches, CEO Antonio Filosa emphasized the company's commitment to the U.S. market during the third-quarter earnings call. Stellantis is pouring $13 billion into American operations, with plans to boost production by 50% while reducing tariff exposure.

Separately, Stellantis announced a partnership with Pony AI Inc. (PONY) to develop level 4 autonomous vans. Initial testing starts in Luxembourg this year, with European expansion planned for 2026.
