Hi F-150 Lightning owners,
When we launched our complimentary Fast Charging Adapter (NACS) program one year ago, our team put a phrase on the top of every single box shipped to a customer: “Our Gift, Just For You.” And on the inside, Jim Farley penned a personal note to all our customers that celebrated the fact that Ford was unlocking access to thousands of Tesla Superchargers and, in turn, creating more charging options for the community.
It may have taken some time, but we’re proud to share we have fulfilled this promise. Every complimentary adapter reserved by our U.S. customers has been shipped. From customer reservation #1 in Austin, TX, to customer reservation #139,936 in Waconia, MN, we are truly grateful for those who have charged with us (and patiently waited).
Yes. Nearly 140,000 complimentary adapters… But you already knew that with your spreadsheet trackers.
One key learning from our complimentary adapter program? Our customers wanted a durable, reliable, and robust NACS adapter. And they wanted it ASAP.
Supply for adapters constrained quickly, however we were quietly prototyping a co-developed adapter with Lectron by mid-2024 to ramp supply, specifically for Ford customers like you. In January 2025 we had shipped 60,000 adapters, and by the first week of March we had shipped 80,000 more. It’s also now available for purchase.
Follow this link to hear more from our engineering team about how it came to life. The Ford Fast Charging Adapter is tough.
You’ve made it this far in our post, here’s some charging fast facts:
Thank you and happy charging!

You’ve made it this far in our post, here’s some charging fast facts:
- In 2024, Ford became the first automaker to unlock the Tesla Supercharger network in the U.S. for its electric vehicle customers. Now, the BlueOval Charge Network includes over 180,000 chargers.
- BlueOval Charge Network now has more than 44,000 DC fast chargers. This is a more than 53% increase from the number of DC fast chargers available to our customers in early 2024.
- Now when traveling on most highways in the U.S., Ford customers are within 18 miles of a DC fast charger in the BlueOval Charge Network.
- February 2025 was our all-time high for Ford electric vehicles at the Supercharger network (~20% of all public charging visits) in the BlueOval Charge Network.
Thank you and happy charging!
