Ford’s EV customers gained access to Tesla’s supercharger network using the adapters in February 2024, and many other EV manufacturers shortly followed.
Ford is sending customers replacement adaptors to use with Tesla’s Supercharger network, warning they risk damaging their cars if they use the original.
The news comes just seven months after Ford EV drivers gained access to Tesla’s network of Superchargers across the US and Canada in February 2024, allowing drivers of vehicles such as the Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning to access a far greater number of charging points for the first time.
Ford drivers still needed an external NACS DC adapter to plug in, however.
In an email to customers first reported by InsideEVs, Ford said that it “does not recommend using the adapter initially supplied to you with any vehicle from this time on, and we will be sending you a replacement.
