"Rivian Owners Gain Access to Tesla Superchargers with Free Adapter"

Rivian R1T and R1S electric vehicle owners can now charge their vehicles at Tesla Superchargers in the US and Canada using a NACS to CCS1 adapter, with each owner set to receive a free adapter starting in April. This move follows similar access granted to Ford EV owners, and while Rivian has not officially announced the agreement, the latest version of its mobile app now shows Tesla Superchargers on the charging map. The upcoming R2, R3, and R3X models will come with a NACS inlet from the factory, and the latest Tesla Supercharger stalls, V4, have a built-in adapter, but the majority of Tesla DC fast chargers are of the V3 variety, requiring the use of an adapter.

"Tesla Opens Supercharger Network to Ford and Other Automakers' EVs"

Tesla announces that four new automakers, including Rivian, General Motors, Volvo, and Polestar, will gain access to its Supercharger network in Spring 2024, following the onboarding of Ford EV drivers. This move aligns with Tesla's mission to accelerate the transition to renewable energy, but it may pose challenges as it opens the network to other EVs with different charge port locations.

Swedish Unions Expand Strike to Target Tesla Superchargers

Swedish labor union Seko, responsible for servicing EV chargers, has announced it will no longer meet Tesla's needs starting March 4 as an act of solidarity with other unions in conflict with the company over a collective bargaining agreement. This move will impact the maintenance and construction of Tesla Superchargers in the country, affecting not only Tesla customers but also non-Tesla EV drivers who use the infrastructure. The conflict reflects ongoing pressure on Tesla to sign a collective bargaining agreement covering a majority of its Swedish employees.

Tesla Emerges as Dominant Global Charging Network for EVs

Tesla's Supercharger and Destination Charger networks have become the dominant charging network on three continents, with legacy manufacturers like Ford, GM, and Stellantis (Jeep and Chrysler brands) now installing Tesla charging plugs in their vehicles. The North American Charging Standard (NACS), formerly known as the Tesla charging connector, has become the de facto standard for the continent, kicking CCS and other charging vendors adopting it to the side of the road. With Tesla's Superchargers available to the majority of drivers of electric vehicles in the biggest markets in the world, what electric car manufacturer wouldn't look at the opportunity to simplify and standardize on Tesla if they possibly could?

"Tesla Superchargers Eligible for Public Funds, Accelerating EV Adoption"

Tesla's Superchargers will be eligible for federal subsidies if they include a "standard connection" - Combined Charging System (CCS1). Tesla plans to open its Supercharging network to all BEVs, which requires compatibility with CCS1 vehicles. The company is installing a Magic Dock built-in CCS1 adapter to its Superchargers and will install many new CCS1-compatible Superchargers to get access to federal subsidies. The announcement comes at a time when the industry might switch from CCS1 to NACS, following Ford's and General Motors' announcement to use NACS in the future.

"Tesla Superchargers to Benefit GM-Owned Electric Boats and EV Drivers"

GM-owned electric boat company, Pure Watercraft, is planning to adopt the North American Charging Standard (NACS) and potentially use Tesla Superchargers for its electric boats. GM's recent agreement with Tesla will see 12,000 Supercharger locations opened to the company's EVs beginning next year and the NACS connector being standard on their cars in 2025. Pure Watercraft, which has a pontoon boat created in collaboration with GM, is developing electric vehicles for water travel and could benefit from the expansion of sustainable transportation.

Ford and Tesla's Surprise EV Partnership Sends Shares Soaring.

Ford Motor Co shares jumped over 7% after announcing a deal allowing its electric-vehicle owners to access Tesla's charging stations in North America. Tesla's Superchargers could become the standard for EV charging in the United States, according to Ford CEO Jim Farley. U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg praised the Ford-Tesla deal, but said the Biden administration would not dictate an EV charging standard. Access to charging stations is considered one of the main hurdles to broader acceptance of electric vehicles.

Ford to Use Tesla Charging Tech for EVs in Surprise Partnership.

Ford's electric trucks and SUVs will have access to Tesla's Supercharger network in the US and Canada starting in 2024 via a hardware adapter, and Ford's next-generation EVs will have Tesla's charging port built-in starting in 2025. Ford's adoption of the open-source charging standard will eliminate the need for an adapter to juice up at Tesla Supercharger stations. Tesla recently promised to open at least 3,500 of its Supercharger stations to all EVs by the end of 2024.

Ford and Tesla team up for EV charging technology.

Ford has announced that its next generation of EVs will be equipped with Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) starting in 2025, giving Ford customers access to Tesla's Supercharger network via an adapter. Existing Ford EV customers will use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla's V3 Superchargers. Ford customers will have access to twice as many fast-chargers starting in spring 2024 through the agreement with Tesla.

Ford and Tesla team up for EV charging compatibility.

Ford will use Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) port for its next-generation EVs, including the F-150 Lightning truck, Mustang Mach-E, and E-Transit delivery van, starting in 2024. Tesla will develop an adapter for Ford's EVs to connect with its Superchargers, and Ford will continue to support its BlueOval charging network. The move comes as EV competition heats up, with other manufacturers bringing alternatives to Tesla's top-selling Model Y and inching closer to an industry-wide EV price war.
