The North American Charging Standard has reached the plug-in hybrid market. According to Electrek's Nov. 5, 2026 report, every 2027 Toyota RAV4 plug-in hybrid (PHEV) gets a built-in NACS port with Level 3 DC fast charging. Drivers can plug into Tesla Superchargers without a separate adapter. Electrek says the PHEV models are expected to reach dealerships in early 2027. The same shift toward native NACS ports is also reaching General Motors' 2027 EV lineup, which GM says it is moving to native NACS.
There is one gap that matters for anyone planning road trips: the Electrek report does not give the RAV4 PHEV's DC charging speed or its battery size. A reader comment under the article pointed out the same omission. Until Toyota publishes those numbers, no one can say how long a DC session will take or how much range it will add.
The RAV4 PHEV by the numbers
Here is what Electrek reported for the 2027 RAV4 PHEV:
- Charge port: built-in NACS on all PHEV models, on the driver's side, with Level 3 DC fast-charging capability.
- Onboard AC charger: 11 kW on all PHEV grades.
- Powertrain: Toyota's sixth-generation PHEV system, 321 hp combined output, all-wheel drive standard.
- Electric range: SE 52 miles, XSE 50 miles, Woodland 46 miles, GR Sport 45 miles.
- Starting prices (as reported by Electrek, Nov. 5, 2026, excluding a $1,595 destination fee): SE $42,100; XSE $47,800; Woodland $46,055; GR Sport $49,100.
The SE has the longest EV range of the four. The off-road-styled Woodland and the GR Sport give up 6 and 7 miles against it, respectively.
Sourcing note: ChargerFeed could not reach Toyota's own pressroom (the request was blocked), and a second outlet's report could not be retrieved. The RAV4 details here come from Electrek's reporting, not from a Toyota release we were able to read directly.
Why a DC port on a PHEV is notable
An 11 kW onboard charger is the AC option for home and workplace Level 2 charging. A DC port adds a second option. According to Electrek, a RAV4 PHEV driver can use a Tesla Supercharger without an adapter.
How useful that option is depends on figures Toyota has not yet published. The actual DC rate will decide whether a session is worth paying for compared with simply running on gasoline. ChargerFeed is not estimating a kW figure. We will update this article when Toyota states one.
Network pricing is also outside the scope of the sources. None of them lists a Supercharger per-kWh or per-minute rate for RAV4 owners, or says whether non-Tesla vehicles pay different rates. Drivers should check the network's app for the current rate at a specific site before they plug in.
Meanwhile at GM: native NACS across the 2027 lineup
Toyota is not the only automaker making this change. In an Aug. 13, 2026 post on its corporate newsroom, GM said every EV sold by Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC can already charge at NACS plugs, either through a native port or with an adapter. GM also said it is in the process of moving all of its EVs to native NACS ports for the 2027 model year. That follows its announcement in May that it expects all of its EVs to launch with a standard NACS port by 2027.
According to GM, the status as of Aug. 13, 2026 was:
- Already NACS-native: the 2026 Cadillac Optiq and the Chevrolet Bolt, which is sold as a 2027 model year vehicle with an EPA-estimated 262 miles of range.
- 2026 models that need an adapter at NACS chargers: Cadillac Escalade IQ, Escalade IQL, Lyriq and Vistiq; Chevrolet Blazer EV, Equinox EV and Silverado EV (max 478 miles, GM-estimated); GMC Hummer EV Pickup, Hummer EV SUV and Sierra EV.
GM's Energy Pass feature, built into the MyChevrolet, MyCadillac and MyGMC apps, supports the Tesla Supercharger, IONNA, Electrify America and ChargePoint networks. GM said EVgo support is "coming soon," so as of the August post it was announced but not yet available.
The Silverado EV completes Chevrolet's switch
EVChargingStations.com reported on Aug. 14, 2026 that the 2027 Silverado EV gets a NACS port in place of the CCS1 port used on the 2024 through 2026 models. It said that completes the NACS transition for Chevrolet EVs, since the 2027 Blazer EV, Bolt and Equinox EV are already NACS-compatible. Owners will use adapters for J1772 AC charging and CCS1 DC charging.
The same report said production at the GM Factory Zero plant in Michigan was expected to begin in October 2026 and, citing GM Authority, that the number of Silverado EV trims is being cut from 10 to 7. Pricing for the 2027 truck had not been announced at that point. For reference, the 2026 Silverado EV's MSRP ranged from $52,800 to $89,200, according to EVChargingStations.com.
What It Means for Drivers
2027 RAV4 PHEV buyers: According to Electrek, the car has a NACS port on the driver's side. It has an 11 kW onboard AC charger and supports DC fast charging, including at Tesla Superchargers without an adapter. Electrek expects PHEV models to arrive at dealerships in early 2027. Toyota has not published the DC charge rate or battery capacity, so how long a DC stop takes is still unknown. The sources do not say whether an adapter for J1772 Level 2 equipment comes with the car, so confirm with Toyota or the dealer. For home charging equipment, follow the manufacturer's instructions and have a licensed electrician handle any installation.
Current GM EV owners (2026 models with CCS1 ports): GM says your vehicle can charge at NACS plugs with an adapter. Energy Pass in the brand apps covers Tesla Supercharger, IONNA, Electrify America and ChargePoint, with EVgo announced as coming soon as of Aug. 13, 2026.
GM shoppers looking at 2027 models: GM says the 2027 lineup is moving to native NACS ports. The Optiq and Bolt already have them, and EVChargingStations.com reports the 2027 Silverado EV has one too. Native-NACS GM EVs need a NACS-to-CCS adapter at CCS stations, according to GM.
Site hosts and network operators: GM is shipping some native NACS (SAE J3400) models now and says its 2027 lineup is moving to native ports, and Toyota's 2027 PHEV port is DC-capable. That makes sites with NACS cables, or both connector types, relevant to more vehicles, including plug-in hybrids. How long PHEVs occupy DC stalls will depend on charge rates that, for the RAV4, have not been disclosed.
What we still don't know
- The 2027 RAV4 PHEV's peak and typical DC charging rate, and its battery capacity.
- Whether any adapters ship with the RAV4 PHEV for J1772 or CCS1 equipment.
- When EVgo support arrives in GM's Energy Pass.
- Pricing for the 2027 Silverado EV, which had not been announced as of Aug. 14, 2026.
