Ford is giving EV owners more time to reserve a free Tesla NACS adaptor. The deadline is being pushed back another two months as Ford<\/a> EV drivers wait to access Tesla\u2019s Supercharger network.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been over a year since Ford\u2019s CEO Jim Farley joined Elon Musk on X (formerly Twitter) to announce plans<\/a> to adopt Tesla\u2019s NACS adaptor.<\/p>\n

Ford was the first, kicking off a snowball effect, with all major automakers following suit shortly after. With GM, VW, Stellantis, Toyota, BMW, Hyundai, Rivian, etc. joining, Tesla\u2019s NACS<\/a> has become the new standard charge connector in North America.<\/p>\n

While most EVs with built-in NACS ports will not arrive until 2025, Ford and others are offering free adaptors so drivers can access Tesla\u2019s Supercharger network.<\/p>\n

Ford announced it would open reservations for the adaptors<\/a> in January. Although a few received them, most are still waiting.<\/p>\n

The reservations were initially expected to only be open until June 30. However, that deadline is now pushed back until August 31.<\/p>\n

In April, Tesla laid off its entire Supercharger team<\/a>, which has slowed progress. As Electrek<\/em> reported earlier this week, Supercharger deployment has slowed significantly<\/a>. And this is one of the most critical times as automakers look to join in.<\/p>\n

Tesla has deployed around 5,000 Supercharger stalls in 2024. That\u2019s down around 19% from the 6,200 deployed last year.<\/p>\n

Ford EV drivers are not the only ones. Virtually all EV drivers (outside of Tesla) in North America are still waiting for access to Tesla\u2019s Supercharger network.<\/p>\n

Those who miss the deadline can purchase the adaptor for $230. Although third-party adapters are available, they are still not allowed access.<\/p>\n

After EV sales surged 61%<\/a> in Q2, Ford remained the second best-selling EV brand in the US, behind Tesla.<\/p>\n

The news comes as Ford continues shifting EV plans after announcing it will build more Super Duty trucks<\/a> in Ontario, where its next-gen EVs are expected to be built.<\/p>\n
