NACS Adapter Now Available + Ford EV Owners Can Now Charge on Tesla Superchargers in U.S., Canada! 🙌

Did you check you junk mail?

Yup. Nothing in the spam folder. ~24 hours after order and nada. It confirmed it on the website and the option to order is gone, so I’m operating under the assumption it worked.

Maybe they should be including a cable extension with the adapter.

The supercharger cables are liquid cooled. would be a huge challenge integrating the liquid cooling into an extension cable.

for comparison, on wednesday these were the superchargers i could use in my normal stomping grounds:

today (well, as soon as i acquire an adapter) i have access to the following:

seriously considering an a2zev adapter...

Yeah, the app is crapping out too. I've tried multiple computers and browsers, incognito mode, etc. I dunno, just bad luck for me I guess.

I had the same type of problem all day yesterday. I saw a post somewhere, possibly the Lightning forum, where someone with repeated failures had success when they tried another FordPass account linked to the same VIN. Last night, we finally tried to order in FordPass with my son's account instead of my own, and it worked the first time. By that time, estimated delivery had slipped to August.

Just received my order confirmation email again...maybe I'll get two!

Actually I think what they've done is fix the Check Order Status link because now it works.

Showing May delivery, even though the App said April yesterday

Only if you are using a reduced Tesla charging plan….., the closest charger to me is 50 cents/ kWh. Bill P

What is that "reduced Tesla charging plan"? That is news to me. We almost bought A Mach-e, but the alternative order I had for a Tesla Model 3 came in the day we were scheduled to test drive a Ford.

Same for me. Looks like they fixed the "Check status" link for us Canucks.

Nope, not in CA. The utilities do have to submit the request and get gov approval. But they've been increasing rates like crazy. 8 years ago I was paying $0.18/kwh, today it's $0.53 with possibility of that going to $0.60 in a month or two if the gov approves it.

And you don't have a choice, there's only one utility serving each area.

Ouch! That’s painful my friend?

I guess that’s one of the few things I have to be thankful for living in the south – – the TVA and cheap electricity at our max rate we pay $.10 a kilowatt hour

OK, I found this:
Unsurprisingly, Tesla is charging Ford EV owners differently than Tesla’s own EV owners. Looking at the costs at different charging stations in the US and Canada, it looks like Tesla is charging Ford EV owners about a 30% premium per kWh of charging at Superchargers on average.

That can get expensive really quickly.

Tesla offers a solution. Non-Tesla EV owners, like Ford’s EV owners, can pay a $13 per month Supercharging membership to pay the same price per kWh as Tesla owners:

Wow...that can add up to real $....

I'm wondering if it's just me, but when I open the confirmation email containing my order number and then click on Order Status, log in, I get the following message:

I reached out via online chat, but the rep was useless as expected. I'm wondering if this has to do with the system being overloaded? As stated I have my order number, but I can't check the order status and I can't see it in my account info anywhere regarding this reservation.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

In usual Ford fashion regarding their server side software.

There is a bug in their backend that fails the request if it has an URL Query String Parameter such as "?emailid=E24T0208_E_E"

Just remove everything in this section of the URL ?emailid=E24T0208_E_E... ( including the ? ) and the confirmation page should load properly.

Yikes...and Tesla is making money off of the rates that I pay as a Tesla owner at 34- 38 cent/kWh.......

 

[son of a swen]

That's the plan. I've probably tried around that already. I'm likely never going to actually use the Tesla stations because enriching Elon isn't my idea of a good time but still want the option.

Agreed..I got a Tesla before I knew anything about ...Elon...

BUMMER! I'M 17,134 with June shipping date !! I thought i was really quick in ordering!!

I still can't even get my order in. I spent 15 mins clicking "OK" and "Submit" and no luck. Woh woh.

 

[csilvest]

Actually....either do I. In fact, I have never heard of anyone using one. Thought it was interesting.

I don't know either, but it does sound dangerous. I'm actually suggesting a longer cord as part of the adapter, not a separate extension cord.
