It's been a year since Ford EVS unlocked access to third parties to Tesla's Super Football Network Complementary NACS adapters for fast charging. This week, the carmaker doubled in the commitment to the North America charging system, adding fast NACS routing via Apple Maps to Carplay and NACS NACS Fasting Adapter for his fast -charging adapter for his Lighting F-150 Electric pickup and Mustang Mach-e SUV. The new adapter promises to be easier and more reliable to use.
In 2023, Ford was First on a flood of car manufacturers To announce support for the Tesla-Pioner in North America. One year later, it was the first to do well on the pledge of supplying Free NACS Charging Adapter To every owner who requested one between February and June 2024. Today, a year later, Ford fulfilled that initial obligation, delivering about 140,000 complementary adapters to US booking owners. According to the car maker, its drivers use widely using those adapters. Almost 20% of Ford EV's recovery visits take place at Tesla Superman stations.
NACS and Tesla Supercharger stations now appear as suggestions when planning large trips through Apple Carplay.
The addition of Tesla's V3 Superchargers develops the Blueoval charging network – Ford's database for compatible charging stations – at about 44,000 DC fast charging spots across North America. Drivers can find and move to those stations through the navigation of their vehicle's board, the FordPass application and now, Apple Maps Ev Routing.
Only yesterday, GROM drivers at Ford Mustang Mach-e and F-15 Travels calculated by Routing Apple Maps EV in Carplay. Apple maps can now detect host EV's charge to calculate when you need to get involved and suggest filling stops on the route, including Tesla's super fillers when planning longer trips. Suggested NACS stations suggested a warning that reminds you of bringing the fast -filling adapter. However, since Apple Carplay is separated from the EV core systems, the prerequisite for batteries is not supported along with the routing of Apple Maps EV.
To test the new adapter, Ford and Lecton subjected it to snow, water, influence, and even a lightning crush test under lightning.
Today, Ford also announced the adapter for the second General Nacs. Co-developed with the manufacturer of charging EV to charge LectronIt is said that the new Ford Fast Charging Adapter is stronger and reliable, capable of withstanding a wide range of climates, conditions and abuses that owners can undergo the life of the vehicle-from the immersion of snow to water to immersion on an electric truck F-150. The adapter has an integrated handle that is more ergonomic and easier to capture the previous generation, as well as the new vehicle blocking that prevents the adapter from accidentally shutting down during the charge.
On $ 200 when Ordered by Ford's web site Or service centers, the new Ford Fast Charging Adapter is also a little cheaper than its $ 230st – and given the experience of lectron building and delivery of its own adapter, would bet it is also more likely to be in stock.
