How to Charge Your Ford EV on a Tesla Supercharger

Ford electric vehicles can indeed charge at Tesla Superchargers in the United States and Canada, thanks to the Fast Charging Adapter provided by Ford. This adapter is essential for connecting your Ford EV to Tesla's extensive and fast network. Additionally, select Tesla Supercharger locations feature a built-in Magic Dock adapter, making it even easier for Ford EV owners to charge their vehicles. Whether you use the Fast Charging Adapter or the Magic Dock, charging your Ford EV at these upgraded stations is straightforward and convenient. However, it's crucial to use the FordPass app or the Public Charging App on your vehicle's touchscreen to confirm the compatibility of the Tesla Supercharger with your Ford EV before attempting to charge.

When you arrive at a Tesla Supercharger, it's important to take note of the layout, including any posts, barriers, or signs that might make parking challenging. Ford vehicles often need to park closer to the charger than other EVs, which may require occupying two parking spaces to ensure the charging cable can reach your vehicle comfortably. Tesla is aware of this necessity, so don't worry if you need to use two spots to achieve this. Always be respectful of other site users by parking considerately and avoiding unnecessary blockages. Take care to avoid stretching the charging cable, as this can cause damage to both your vehicle and the charger. 

If you encounter issues starting a charge at a compatible upgraded Tesla Supercharger, there are several troubleshooting steps you can follow. First, unplug the Fast Charging Adapter from your vehicle and the Tesla Supercharger cable from the adapter, ensuring both connections are undamaged and free of debris. After checking these connections, try the charging session again. If the session does not start automatically with Plug & Charge, use FordPass or the Public Charging App on your vehicle's touchscreen to manually activate the charger. Should these steps fail to resolve the issue, moving to another Tesla Supercharger at the location can often help.
