Ford is sending customers replacement adapters for use with Tesla’s Supercharger network, warning that using the original could damage their cars. The news comes just seven months after Ford EV drivers gained access to Tesla's network of Superchargers across the US and Canada,

Ford EV owners should follow the link on Ford’s notice to make sure it has the right address on file. If it is, they won’t need to do anything else to get their replacement, but if not, the company says customers need to update their address by October 24th.

Ford became the first company to gain access to Tesla's supercharger network in February 2024, though many of the largest EV manufacturers shortly followed.

Ford has asked its electric vehicle owners to stop using Tesla's charging adapter due to a potential issue that could affect charging speed and damage the charging port. The company will send replacements at no cost.
