These EVs Can Now Power Up at 21,500 Tesla Superchargers

In a major win for EV drivers, Tesla is opening up its Supercharger network to all non-Tesla EVs. So far, eleven brands can power up at select stations: Ford, Rivian, General Motors (GM), Polestar, Volvo, Nissan, Lucid, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Genesis, and—as of this week—Kia.

Powering up requires an adapter for almost all EVs, besides newer ones like the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6, 2025 Kia EV6, and 2026 EV9, which come with Tesla-backed NACS charging ports built in. We expect most brands to build new vehicles with NACS ports starting with the 2026 model year, which we saw starting to happen at this year’s New York Auto Show.

Adapters cost anywhere from $180 for off-market options to around $230 for brand-approved hardware. Kia did not list a price for the adapters, but says they are available at dealers.

The next brands to get Supercharger access are BMW, Jaguar-Land Rover, Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Volkswagen (VW), Audi, and Porsche, according to the Tesla website. That’s nearly the entire industry, save for Stellantis, Mini Cooper, and Rolls Royce, which have not announced rollout timelines yet.

Keep in mind that this does not cover the entire Supercharger network. Tesla has restricted access, particularly in urban areas or at stations that lack the software or hardware to support other brands. Also, Tesla has said it may inflate charging fees for other brands, though you can get the same rates as Tesla drivers if you sign up for a $12.99/month Supercharger membership.

Still, drivers have access to around 21,500 V3 Superchargers, the best and most powerful type of charger in the network.

Tesla’s Battle for NACS Dominance

Tesla has been working to make its in-house connector the national standard since November 2022, when it published the manufacturing specs for the port, dubbed it the North American Charging Standard (NACS), and invited other automakers to adopt it.

Tesla argued its in-house connector is smaller, easier to handle, and more reliable than the Combined Charging System (CCS), the port currently found on all non-Tesla EVs except the 2025 Ioniq 5. Plus, Superchargers make up around a third of the 60,000 public fast chargers in the US, according to the US Department of Energy.

No brands immediately jumped at the opportunity to switch to NACS. At CES 2023, Mercedes told PCMag it would “never” adopt NACS, but after Ford took the plunge, Mercedes and all other automakers followed suit to give their drivers more charging options on the road.

The Society of Automotive Engineers is working on certifying Tesla’s NACS port as the national standard under the new name of SAE J3400. Other charging companies—like Blink, ChargePoint, and Electrify America—plan to offer CCS and NACS plug-ins on new stations.

Not So Fast: Adapter Backlogs, Blocking Cars

The move is a major win for Tesla and consumers who won’t need to keep track of charge port types anymore. However, one of the biggest initial issues was the limited supply of adapters, causing months-long delivery delays for the first brands to get access. That issue seems to be resolving, with fewer concerns toward the end of 2024.

It’s also unclear how much Supercharger access will move the needle on EV adoption. Up to 90% of charging occurs at home, and Superchargers are public. Apartment dwellers and others who cannot charge at home may benefit the most by having more reliable places to power up.

Ford found that its drivers power up at Tesla stations only 20% of the time. Adapter availability, wait times, or charge port placement issues could be to blame. The cables that run from the Supercharger to the car are too short to reach the ports on some non-Tesla vehicles, such as Fords. So, non-Tesla drivers may have to play with the positioning of their vehicles in order to reach the Supercharger cord, blocking other charging spots.

Rather than retrofitting the software and hardware at old stations, Tesla is more likely to open up future Superchargers to other brands from the get-go. These are stations Ford refers to as “upgraded” and therefore eligible for non-Teslas.
