Ford's announcement to allow its electric vehicles access to Tesla's Supercharger network was seen as a major step forward for EV adoption in the U.S. By 2023, it seemed like range anxiety would diminish, yet as of 2025, charging difficulties for non-Tesla EVs still exist. Supercharger design around Tesla's closed system contributes to user frustrations, including short cables that don’t accommodate different vehicle specifications. Although improvements are being made, many challenges remain unresolved, requiring adapters for various EVs for the foreseeable future.
The introduction of Tesla Supercharger access has improved public EV charging landscapes; however, significant issues remain that hinder straightforward adoption and user experiences.
Core issues persist with charging non-Tesla EVs at Superchargers, since they were originally designed for Tesla vehicles, complicating access for other brands.
