June 27 (Reuters) - Swedish carmaker Volvo Cars (VOLCARb.ST) said on Tuesday it had signed an agreement with Tesla (TSLA.O) to give its electric vehicles (EVs) access to the EV maker's Supercharger network in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The deal makes Volvo the first European automaker to adopt Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS), adding to the slew of EV makers and charging equipment manufacturers taking up the technology.

Starting 2025, Volvo's cars in the three countries will be equipped with the NACS port, it said, adding that drivers who choose to use the Combined Charging System (CCS) will able to do so with an adapter provided by the company.

Earlier this month, California-based EV maker Rivian Automotive Inc (RIVN.O) and General Motors (GM.N) said they would adopt the charging design, following Ford's (F.N) announcement last month.

Tesla's Superchargers account for about 60% of the total fast chargers available in the United States, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

Its recent deals represent major strides in displacing rival standard CCS that earlier exclusively had the backing of President Joe Biden's administration.

The government is offering $7.5 billion in funding to speed the deployment of EV chargers in the United States.

I'm not surprised, 40k always seemed like a pipe dream. Bummer for the folks excited for this one though.

Which electric sedan would you buy? With Hyundai’s recent price cuts, the IONIQ 6 is now cheaper to buy than...

Feels like the pendulum is swinging the way of NACS. How do folks feel about that?

Both the R1T all-electric pickup and the R1S SUV will be fitted with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector starting in 2025, eliminating the need for an adaptor.

Tesla has released a rare and interesting look at its latest Supercharger monitoring system, which will become an important tool...

FYI if you're an Ioniq owner. Seems like it can be fixed with a software update.

The Tesla Model X is compared with the Rivian R1S in this video that focuses exclusively on their third-row seats by an EV driver who owns both.

This feels so out of touch that it's hilarious
