It's an obvious question. If Ford's new Fast Charging Adapter—which allows Ford's electric vehicles to use the Tesla Supercharger network—isn't some kind of "smart device," won't it theoretically let any EV charge that way as well? In other words, can't you use the Ford adapter to charge a Rivian, or a Chevrolet Bolt, or anything else on the Supercharger network now?
The answer, unfortunately, is no. Not until more automakers get authenticated to use the Superchargers. Let's dig into why.
