Ford tells some EV customers to stop using its Tesla Supercharger adapter2024-10-22 05:17 by DanielaTags: Ford, EV, Tesla
Ford is sending customers replacement adapters for use with Tesla's Supercharger network, warning that using the original could damage their cars. The news comes just seven months after Ford EV drivers gained access to Tesla's network of Superchargers across the US and Canada, allowing drivers of vehicles such as the Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning to access a far greater number of charging points. For now, Ford drivers need an adapter to connect to a Tesla Supercharger, which features North American Charging Standard (NACS) ports. (Starting next year, Ford will make its EVs with built-in NACS ports.) But that initial batch of adapters appears to be faulty. As first reported by InsideEVs, Ford sent an email to customers that says it "does not recommend using the adapter initially supplied to you with any vehicle from this time on, and we will be sending you a replacement." Ford will start sending free replacement adapters beginning Oct. 28. "It is imperative that we receive all adapters affected to reduce the risk of potential vehicle damage," it says. According to the service bulletin, customers should make sure their address is updated in their Ford Pass account by Oct. 24 so the replacement adapter goes to the right place. Read more -here-
