Tesla Superchargers are currently usable by all Tesla vehicles and a growing number of non-Tesla electric vehicles (EVs) that are equipped with a compatible charging port. The key to access is the North American Charging Standard (NACS) port. While Tesla vehicles have always used this port, the landscape is changing rapidly. Major automakers are announcing partnerships with Tesla and plans to integrate NACS ports into their future EVs, starting as early as 2025.
For now, if you don't own a Tesla, using a Supercharger requires an adapter. Tesla has opened a portion of its Supercharger network to non-Tesla EVs through its "Magic Dock" program. At these specific stations, a CCS-to-NACS adapter is built directly into the charger, allowing EVs with a CCS port (like those from Ford, GM, Rivian, and others) to charge. This rollout is gradual, so availability is still limited.
The shift towards NACS as the dominant standard in North America is significant. Here’s a look at the current and planned compatibility status of major brands:
| Automaker | Current Supercharger Access (2024) | Planned NACS Port Integration |
|---|
| Tesla | Full Native Access | Native |
| Ford | With Magic Dock or Adapter (2024) | 2025 |
| General Motors (GM) | With Magic Dock or Adapter (2024) | 2025 |
| Rivian | With Magic Dock or Adapter (2024) | 2025 |
| Volvo/Polestar | With Magic Dock or Adapter (2024) | 2025 |
| Mercedes-Benz | With Magic Dock | 2025 |
| Nissan | With Magic Dock | 2025 |
| Honda/Acura | Planning Adapter Access | 2025 |
| Hyundai/Kia/Genesis | Evaluating (challenges with 800V architecture) | Under Evaluation |
| Stellantis (Jeep, Ram, etc.) | Planning Adapter Access | 2026 |
| Toyota/Lexus | Planning Adapter Access | 2025 |
| Volkswagen Group (Audi, Porsche, etc.) | Planning Adapter Access | 2025 |
Before you plan a trip around a Supercharger, always check your vehicle's mobile app or Tesla's map to confirm which stations are open to non-Tesla vehicles. Pricing for non-Tesla drivers is often managed through a membership program, which can offer lower rates.
