New Mitsubishi Eclipse Sportback EV to Offer Both J1772 and NACS Charging Ports
The 2027 crossover will DC fast charge at up to 150 kW via its NACS port.
Mitsubishi is equipping its upcoming Eclipse Sportback EV with both a J1772 and a NACS charging port as standard on all models, a dual-port approach that differs from many automakers fitting new cars with only the Tesla-developed connector.
What Happened
The 2027 Mitsubishi Eclipse Sportback, an all-new EV launching across North America in fall 2026, will include both a J1772 and a NACS (SAE J3400) charging port as standard equipment on every model, according to Mitsubishi Motors North America.
With the dual ports, the vehicle can charge at Levels 1 and 2 using the J1772 plug found on most home chargers and portable chargers. It can also use DC fast charging at up to 150 kW or Level 2 charging through the NACS plug.
Why It Matters
Many automakers are fitting new cars with only a NACS port, which allows drivers to use Tesla Superchargers on road trips without an adapter but typically forces EV owners to replace their home chargers when they buy a NACS-equipped vehicle. Mitsubishi's approach lets buyers keep existing J1772 home charging equipment while still gaining access to the Supercharger network for long-distance travel.
The Bottom Line
The Eclipse Sportback is positioned as an option that avoids the home-charger compatibility trade-off, offering both legacy and NACS connectivity out of the box when it arrives in North America next year.
