Ford Launches New Tesla Supercharger Adapter for EV Owners

The new Ford-branded adapter, co-developed with Lectron, addresses previous issues and expands access to Tesla's extensive charging network.

  • Ford's new adapter allows its electric vehicles to charge at nearly 18,000 Tesla Superchargers across the U.S.
  • The adapter, developed with Lectron, is offered alongside existing Tesla-produced adapters to increase supply and reduce wait times.
  • Ford previously advised customers to stop using some older adapters due to potential charging issues, but the new adapters are not replacements for those units.
  • The Lectron 'Vortex' adapters are designed to handle up to 500 amps and 1,000 volts, similar to Tesla's specifications.
  • Customers awaiting a complimentary adapter may receive the new Ford-branded version or the existing approved adapter, with the option to purchase for $200 if not eligible for a free unit.
