It’s been more than a year since Tesla agreed to open its Supercharger network to electric vehicles from other automakers, like General Motors and Ford. But Tesla’s network of nearly 30,000 fast-charging plugs in the U.S. and Canada still remains unavailable to non-Tesla vehicles, according to a New York Times report.
The delays come amid declining sales as the automaker faces increased competition in the EV market. They also follow Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s decision earlier this year to gut the company’s Supercharger team.
Tesla posted on X last week that it had ramped production of its NACS (North American Charging Standard) adapter, which drivers of other EVs that were built with CCS (Combined Charging System) ports will need to plug into Tesla’s chargers. Still, it’s unclear how fast those adapters will make it into customers’ hands.
