Starting today, Ford Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning drivers can use Apple Maps EV Routing via CarPlay to plan road trips that include Tesla Superchargers \u2013 or any station that uses the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector. <\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-993577\"\/><\/p>\n<p>As I\u2019ve <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/01\/30\/apple-maps-ev-routing-ford-nacs-chargers\/\">explained<\/a> before, <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2024\/02\/29\/ford-tesla-supercharger-adapter-now-available\/\">Ford began<\/a>\u00a0shipping adapters CCS to NACS adapters that allow Mach-E and Lightning drivers to charge at Tesla Superchargers last year. Until today, however, Apple Maps was unaware of this change. This meant Apple Maps EV Routing would only route Mach-E and Lightning drivers to CCS charging stations, even though a route with Tesla Superchargers might\u2019ve been more efficient. <\/p>\n<p>With today\u2019s change, Apple Maps via CarPlay will now include NACS fast charging stations, such as compatible Tesla Superchargers, in recommended route planning recommendations. <\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fromtheroad.ford.com\/us\/en\/articles\/2025\/nacs-fast-charger-routing-ford-customers-apple-maps-carplay\">blog post<\/a>, Ford explains: <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" readability=\"13\">\n<p>Apple Maps EV Routing in CarPlay allows drivers to input their route and can view the estimated battery level they will have when they get to a destination, as well as suggested charging stations along the way if charging is needed. Previously, Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning drivers would have to manually open another app, then enter a NACS fast charger as a destination to have it added to their route. Now, with the Apple Maps EV Routing and NACS fast charger integration, the experience will be more seamless.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"6000\" height=\"3990\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/03\/Ford20Lightning_Apple20Maps.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-993581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/03\/Ford20Lightning_Apple20Maps.jpg 6000w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/03\/Ford20Lightning_Apple20Maps.jpg?resize=155,103 155w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/03\/Ford20Lightning_Apple20Maps.jpg?resize=655,436 655w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/03\/Ford20Lightning_Apple20Maps.jpg?resize=768,511 768w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/03\/Ford20Lightning_Apple20Maps.jpg?resize=1024,681 1024w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/03\/Ford20Lightning_Apple20Maps.jpg?resize=1536,1021 1536w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/03\/Ford20Lightning_Apple20Maps.jpg?resize=2048,1362 2048w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/03\/Ford20Lightning_Apple20Maps.jpg?resize=350,233 350w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/03\/Ford20Lightning_Apple20Maps.jpg?resize=140,93 140w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/03\/Ford20Lightning_Apple20Maps.jpg?resize=1504,1000 1504w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/03\/Ford20Lightning_Apple20Maps.jpg?resize=150,100 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 6000px) 100vw, 6000px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p id=\"paragraph_6\"><strong>How to Use Apple Maps EV Routing in CarPlay:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Connect your Apple iPhone to CarPlay.<\/li>\n<li>Open Apple Maps, go to Settings, and confirm your preferred charging network(s) \u2013 make sure you select a NACS fast charging station, such as Tesla Supercharger.
