Ford
started
offering
free
adapters
for
Tesla’s
Supercharger
network
to
owners
of
its
EVs
in
February,
and
now
it’s
telling
some
of
its
customers
to
stop
using
them,
reports
InsideEVs.
The
company
found
a
“potential
issue”
that
could
cause
“reduced
charging
speeds
over
time”
or
even
damage
to
the
charge
port
itself,
according
to
a
service
bulletin
it’s
sending
to
those
affected.
Ford
EV
owners
should
follow
the
link
on
Ford’s
notice
to
make
sure
it
has
the
right
address
on
file.
If
it
is,
they
won’t
need
to
do
anything
else
to
get
their
replacement,
but
if
not,
the
company
says
customers
need
to
update
their
address
by
October
24th.
Ford
will
supply
a
replacement
adapter
in
the
coming
weeks
and
provide
return
instructions
to
send
back
your
existing
adapter – both
at
no
cost.
It
is
imperative
that
we
receive
all
adapters
affected
to
reduce
the
risk
of
potential
vehicle damage.
Ford
will
reportedly
start
shipping
replacement
adapters
to
customers
during
the
week
of
October
28th.
Only
“a
certain
recent
batch”
of
Ford’s
North
American
Charging
Standard
adapters
are
impacted,
according
to
InsideEV.
Both
Rivian
and
General
Motors
told
the
outlet
that
they
have
not
identified
any
similar
issues
with
their
own
adapters.
