Rivian has announced that it will be following in suit with Ford by becoming the second automaker to supply adaptors for users to gain access to Tesla’s North American Supercharger network. Existing customers of the American car manufacturer can request an adaptor from April free of charge. Sapan Dhora, R1S Owner, said:

“Supercharger access will help alleviate range anxiety by providing many more fast, reliable, and available chargers.”

Since Tesla opened up access to its charging technology in 2022, a number of the world’s biggest automakers have announced North American Charging Standard (NACS) for their upcoming electric vehicles (EVs). The adaptors are intended for use by EV drivers who own vehicles that rely on the previously dominant charging connectors Combined Charging System (CCS). By supplying this adaptor to Tesla’s Supercharger network accessible to owners means they now have 15,000 additional fast chargers where they can plug in and charge their EVs.
