"Once owners have created an account and activated Plug & Charge, Tesla Superchargers will support Plug & Charge with Ford EVs. This means customers simply have to plug in and charging will automatically start with charges managed through FordPass."

They are bypassing Tesla entirely for billing.

The Lightning owners crashed the website flooding it with orders, hahaha

Are there... V3 superchargers that DON'T support NACS?

Well, except the pricing is set by Tesla and goes 100% to Tesla.

Technically 'support' is different than 'allow' and we can't know which is which.

Not sure how you are coming to eh conclusion. My understanding is that they effectively have to go through FordPass to get authorization from Tesla network. Tesla then bills Ford and Ford bills customer.

You can bypass the FordPass with the Tesla app, too.

Either way, Tesla sets the price for charging.

Most of them? After all, they were in introduced in 2019.


I'd even have to ask if V4 Superchargers support NACS?

Thanks for this post! I've been so hyper-focused on getting my FS CB that I haven't been looking at the Lightning threads! I placed my adapter order but says it will come in July. Probably will come before my CB, so might get to use it once or twice!
