    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

I encourage all Genesis owners to consider contacting Genesis and urging them to adopt the Tesla charging format as Ford and GM already have. Doing so would eventually make the approx. 2,200 super charger stations and 21,000 chargers in the USA & Canada available to Genesis owners (Genesis owners in the EU already have CCS2 compatibility with Tesla Superchargers). Access to the Tesla Supercharger network would be provided by either Tesla adding "Magic Box" Tesla to CCS1 connectors to their Superchargers or by Tesla to CCS1 adaptors like those Ford says they will provide for owners of their 2024 EVs.

At the Hyundai recently held a 2023 CEO Investor Day in Seoul, South Korea, Hyundai President Jaehoon Chang stated that the company is considering the shift to Tesla NACS, but it still needs to determine if the switch would be in the customers’ best interest.
The automaker’s main concern is that Hyundai’s electric vehicles might charge faster at other charging stations than Tesla Supercharger stalls. As Reuters pointed out, Hyundai’s electric cars—like the Ionic 5—use 800-volt electrical architecture, while Tesla Supercharger stalls operate at a lower voltage resulting in slower charging times.

^ Same reason why Lucid, Porsche, among others are waiting.

But likely a moot point as there are reports that Tesla has plans to increase charging speeds to as high as 1,000V.
