However, until [Ford]() switches its charging ports over to the [North American Charging Standard]() (NACS), its EVs will still need adapters to work with Tesla's equipment. Thankfully, Ford is giving them out for free to any North American customer to who orders one by June 30. That makes Ford the first automaker to offer factory adapters for Tesla charging stations. "I'm proud Ford is first to offer our customers this access," said Ford CEO Jim Farley in a recent [Twitter/X]() post. "With Tesla Superchargers added to the Ford BlueOval Charge Network, it more than doubles the fast-chargers available to them. Paired with Plug & Charge, no other apps are needed to start a charge." https://twitter.com/jimfarley98/status/1763186232652177719 When Ford says Tesla's Superchargers will be added to the "Ford BlueOval Charge Network," that's not just marketing. Since Superchargers are now part of Ford's footprint, customers won't need a separate charging account or credit card. They'll simply plug in, charge up, and pay using the FordPass app like they would at other stations. Up until now, to juice up a non-Tesla EV at a Supercharger location, you had to use a charger with Tesla's relatively new ["Magic Dock" interface]() that's built into the charging post. Otherwise, third-party adapters were required, and even then not every Supercharger was compatible. Ford is the first manufacturer to give its customers a factory adapter, though it surely won't be the last. At this point, every major automaker that sells vehicles in North America [is jumping over to NACS](), and likely to provide similar hardware for their customers in the coming months and years. Any United States or Canadian owner of a Ford EV model years 2021 through 2024 can get an adapter for free if they claim one between now and June 30. Anyone who orders *after* June 30 will have to pay $230. You can reserve yours [at Ford's dedicated website](). At the moment, the automaker is not sharing a timeline as to when the first free adapters will become available, thought it says it will fulfill orders "on a first-come, first-served basis" and that wait times are expected to vary. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
