In a major win for EV drivers, Tesla is opening up its Supercharger network to all non-Tesla EVs. So far, eighteen brands can power up at select stations: Acura, Audi, Ford, General Motors (GM), Genesis, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar-Land Rover, Kia, Lucid, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Polestar, Porsche, Rivian, Volvo, and—as of today—Subaru and Toyota.
Subaru has one EV, the Solterra, and two on the way. Solterra drivers can power up via an adapter, including the recommended Genuine Subaru Accessory Fast Charging Adapter. The 2026 Solterra won’t require an adapter thanks to its built-in North American Charging Standard (NACS) port.
Toyota is giving away complimentary adapters at dealers for all drivers of its bZ4x—renamed just “bZ” for the 2026 model year. Its access starts in November. The 2026 bZ comes with a built-in NACS port.
The next brands to get Supercharger access are BMW and Volkswagen (VW), according to the Tesla website. Volkswagen has struggled to give its owners access, delaying it multiple times due to “technical difficulties,” as we first reported. But once this crop of companies goes through, nearly the entire industry will have access, save for Stellantis, Mini Cooper, and Rolls-Royce, which have not announced rollout timelines yet.

Superchargers are only in public places, and up to 90% of electric vehicle charging occurs at home. In March, Ford revealed that its drivers power up at Tesla stations only 20% of the time. But they still offer more on-the-go options, especially for apartment dwellers, rideshare drivers, and others who cannot always charge at home.
Powering up requires an adapter for almost all EVs, besides those made in the last year or two. New models all feature the Tesla-backed NACS port, such as the 2026 Nissan Leaf and the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt. But if you already own an EV with a CCS port, you’ll want to snag an adapter from your OEM or an off-market brand like Lectron.

The most common type of Tesla charger available to these drivers is the V3 Supercharger. Tesla unveiled its first next-gen V4 Supercharger last month, with higher charging capacity, Electrek reports. It plans to expand that network, which should make more stations available to other brands. The company has restricted access at legacy stations that lack the software or hardware to support other brands.

Tesla’s Battle for NACS Dominance
It’s been a long road for Tesla to open up its network, and for other brands to adopt it. CEO Elon Musk has been working to make its in-house connector the national standard since November 2022, when it published the manufacturing specs for the port, dubbed it the North American Charging Standard (NACS), and invited other automakers to adopt it.
Tesla argued its in-house connector is smaller, easier to handle, and more reliable than the Combined Charging System (CCS), the port previously found on all non-Tesla EVs. Plus, Superchargers make up a little over a third of the 63,000 public fast chargers in the US, according to the US Department of Energy.

No brands immediately jumped at the opportunity to switch to NACS. At CES 2023, Mercedes told PCMag it would “never” adopt NACS, but after Ford took the plunge, Mercedes and all other automakers followed suit to give their drivers more charging options on the road.
The Society of Automotive Engineers then began working on certifying Tesla’s NACS port as the national standard under the new name SAE J3400, and released the official specs in May 2025. Other charging companies—like Blink, ChargePoint, and Electrify America—also offer CCS and NACS plug-ins on new stations.
