Ford EVs Gain Apple Maps Support for Tesla Supercharger Routing
Ford Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning drivers can now use Apple Maps via CarPlay to plan routes with Tesla's NACS chargers, though preconditioning limitations remain.
- Ford EV owners can now use Apple Maps on CarPlay to navigate to Tesla Superchargers and other NACS-compatible fast chargers without requiring a software update for their vehicles.
- The feature requires an iPhone running iOS 17 or later and allows users to set NACS chargers as their preferred network in Apple Maps settings.
- Apple Maps calculates estimated battery levels at destinations and charging stops but does not support en-route battery preconditioning for Ford vehicles using CarPlay.
- Ford EVs, including the Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning, require a CCS-to-NACS adapter to use Tesla Superchargers, as they are equipped with CCS1 inlets by default.
- This update eliminates the need for Ford drivers to manually input NACS chargers into separate apps, streamlining the route planning process for EV road trips.
