Ford announced the move to include NACS connectors in its EVs starting in 2025.
.) Wouldn't it be nice to have access to the Supercharger network, but leave the goofy plug adapter at home? If you plan on buying a 2025 model year EV from Ford, that could be your future.
Ford announced that in 2025, its EVs will come with the North American Charging Standard port built-in. That makes it possible for Ford's electric vehicles to use Tesla Superchargers without the need for an adapter. Additionally, starting in early 2024, owners of the Ford F-150 Lightning, Mach-E, or E-Transit will be able to access Tesla's V3 Superchargers, but those vehicles will still need to utilize an adapter, and the FordPass app for payment.
This move begs the question: Will Ford be transitioning away from CCS ports completely to NACS ports, or will its future vehicles will offer both? We reached out to Ford for answers, and a representative responded with:"Ford will start to transition its North American vehicles to NACS in 2025," adding"That option [of having both] is certainly open to us however we have no specifics to share today.
