WE TEST FORD'S TESLA ADAPTER - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!

EV Channels Review

This video details the launch of Ford's CCS to NACS adapter, enabling Ford F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E owners to utilize Tesla's Supercharger network. Initially, the reviewer experienced issues with 'Plug and Charge' functionality on their Mach-E, encountering 'charger error' and 'charge station fault' messages. However, a Ford representative explained that a necessary software update was rolling out and had not yet been fully deployed to the reviewer's specific vehicle. A subsequent demonstration with a Mach-E that had received the update successfully showcased the seamless 'Plug and Charge' experience. The video also provides a workaround for initiating charging sessions manually via the Ford Pass app if the software update is pending. Ford is offering the adapter for free to existing EV customers who register by June 30, 2024, with new customers purchasing it for approximately $230. The review highlights the adapter as a significant enhancement to the Ford EV ownership experience, granting access to over 15,000 Tesla Superchargers.
