Ford Completes Delivery of 140,000 Tesla-Compatible Charging Adapters
The adapters, now available for $200, enable Ford EVs to access Tesla's Supercharger network after a year of delays and manufacturing challenges.
- Ford has shipped all 140,000 complimentary NACS charging adapters promised to customers, allowing access to Tesla's Supercharger network.
- The adapters, co-developed with Lectron, underwent extensive durability testing, including water submersion and being run over by a truck, to ensure reliability.
- Delays in Tesla's production of the adapters led Ford to switch to Lectron as its supplier in 2024, resolving supply chain issues.
- Ford's BlueOval Charging Network now includes over 180,000 chargers, with 20% of Ford EV charging sessions taking place at Tesla Superchargers.
- The adapters, compatible with CCS-equipped EVs and Tesla V3 and newer Superchargers, are now available for purchase at $200.
