Until now, Tesla’s network of Supercharger fast electric car chargers has been off-limits to drivers of electric vehicles from other brands. But as of Feb. 29, 2024, Tesla has opened up certain Superchargers to
Ford Mustang Mach-E and
F-150 Lightning vehicles, as long as owners order an adapter that allows them to use Tesla’s NACS charging standard. Other EV makers aren’t far behind.
BMW,
Genesis, General Motors,
Honda,
Hyundai,
Jaguar,
Kia,
Lucid,
Mini,
Mercedes-Benz,
Nissan,
Polestar,
Rivian,
Toyota, and
Volvo have said that their vehicles will also be Supercharger compatible starting in 2024.
Mazda, Stellantis, and Volkswagen Group of America (
Audi,
Porsche, Scout Motors, and
Volkswagen) will implement Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector on vehicles starting in the 2025 model year.
