Short answer: if your EV has a CCS1 port, you need the adapter your automaker approves — Tesla's support page says third-party adapters are prohibited for Supercharging. It runs from free (some Hyundai, Kia, Porsche and 2026 Mercedes-Benz cars) to about $275 (GM, per Electrek), and it is for DC fast charging only. Cars with a built-in NACS port, such as the 2025 Ioniq 5 and 2026 Leaf, need none.

What to do, by situation
Ford Mustang Mach-E or F-150 Lightning owner: Buy the Ford Fast Charging Adapter (NACS). Retailers list it at $200 and the free offer ended June 30, 2024. Ford's adapter page says it isn't for AC charging and Ford says some V3 sites stay Tesla-only, so check the site in the Ford app before you drive. See the chart row ↓
Chevrolet, GMC or Cadillac EV owner: Activate Supercharger access in your brand app, then order GM's NACS DC adapter there or on the accessories site. Electrek reports $275 now, up from $225 at launch. See the chart row ↓
Hyundai owner with a CCS1 car (2022–24 Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, Kona Electric): Check your MyHyundai account first — Hyundai's FAQ describes a complimentary adapter for eligible owners. The 2025 Ioniq 5 has a native NACS port and includes a CCS1 adapter for other fast chargers. See the chart row ↓
Nissan Ariya owner: Buy Nissan's adapter kit (reported MSRP $235). It includes a plastic part that fills a gap in the Ariya's inlet, which is why Nissan says other adapters won't do. The 2026 Leaf has a built-in NACS port instead. See the chart row ↓
Rivian R1T or R1S, 2022–2025: The Gear Shop sells the NACS DC Adapter for $200 for CCS1 trucks and SUVs. 2026 and newer models have a built-in port. See the chart row ↓
Anyone tempted by a cheaper adapter on a marketplace: Don't, for Supercharging. Tesla's support page says third-party adapters are prohibited for safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz repeats the rule, and Hyundai and Honda say non-approved accessories can leave you outside warranty.
NACS, CCS1, DC fast charging and V2/V3 Superchargers
NACS is the plug Tesla uses, now being built into other makers' cars; CCS1 is the other fast-charging plug on most EVs sold in the US before it. A CCS1 car needs an NACS-to-CCS1 adapter to use a Tesla Supercharger.
Approved adapters only. Tesla says Supercharging is limited to NACS cars and CCS1 cars with an adapter provided by Tesla or the automaker, and that third-party adapters are prohibited for safety reasons. Mercedes-Benz repeats it.
DC fast charging only. Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Rivian and Nissan all say not to use these adapters for AC charging — including home wallboxes and Tesla Destination chargers.
V2 vs V3 and V4. Hyundai's table lists V1 (100 kW) and V2 (125–150 kW) Superchargers as not compatible with the Ioniq 5, and V3 (250 kW) and V4 as compatible. Sites also vary by policy, so check the site in your app.
The other direction. A car with a native NACS port needs an adapter for CCS1 chargers; GM sells a CCS1 DC adapter for $189 and a J1772 adapter for $67 for its 2027 models, per Electrek.
Before you buy
Check your exact model and model year in your automaker's owner site — free offers and native ports depend on the year.
Buy from the automaker, its dealer or its official shop. The chart's source level tells you how well we could read each answer.
Treat every price as a snapshot: several come from news reports and automakers have changed prices before (GM went from $225 to $275).
Open the site in your automaker's app or the Tesla app before you drive — not every Supercharger accepts other brands.
Don't trust one forum post. Where a cell shows a yellow or grey dot, confirm with your automaker.
NACS adapter FAQ
Do I need an adapter to use a Tesla Supercharger?
If your car has a CCS1 port, yes. Tesla's support page says Supercharging is limited to NACS-equipped vehicles and CCS1 vehicles with an NACS DC adapter provided by Tesla or the vehicle's manufacturer. Cars with a built-in NACS port — for example the 2025 Ioniq 5, the 2026 Nissan Leaf or 2026 and newer Rivians — don't need one.
Can I use a cheaper third-party NACS adapter?
Not for Tesla Superchargers, per the sources we read. Tesla says third-party adapters are prohibited for safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz says the same, Nissan's kit includes a part that fills a gap in the Ariya's inlet, and Hyundai and Honda say non-approved accessories may fall outside warranty. One reported exception: BMW is said to approve the Lectron Vortex Plus ($174.99), and Ford's own adapter is reportedly made by Lectron, but it carries Ford's name.
Does the adapter work with home or Level 2 charging?
No — the brands we read say these are DC fast-charging adapters. Mercedes-Benz says not to use its adapter on a home wallbox or Level 2 public charger, Rivian says DC fast chargers only, Ford says it isn't compatible with Level 1 or Level 2 AC chargers including Tesla Destination chargers, and Nissan says Tesla's AC Destination chargers are incompatible with the Ariya.
Why does the adapter not work at some Superchargers?
Two reasons in the sources. Older stalls: Hyundai's FAQ table marks Tesla V1 and V2 Superchargers as not compatible with the Ioniq 5 and V3 and V4 as compatible, and reports say the same for Ford and Rivian. Site policy: Ford and GM say some locations stay Tesla-only, so check the specific site in your automaker's app or the Tesla app before you go.
Is the adapter free?
Sometimes, for some model years. Hyundai gave eligible owners a free adapter, Kia only on a new 2024–25 EV9 or 2024 EV6 delivered on or after Sept 4, 2024, Porsche on MY25 Taycan and all Macan Electric, and Mercedes-Benz and VW include one on MY26 cars. Ford's free offer ended June 30, 2024. The chart marks each brand.
How much does an NACS adapter cost?
As reported on 2026-10-08: Rivian $200 (Gear Shop page), Ford about $200 (retail listing), GM $275 (Electrek), Nissan Ariya $235, Porsche $185 (Porsche newsroom), Mercedes-Benz $185, VW $200, Honda $225, Volvo and Polestar $230, Kia $249. Tesla's own listing shows $200. Prices change and several come from news reports, so confirm with your automaker.
Which cars don't need an adapter anymore?
The cars the sources name as having a built-in NACS port: the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 (not the N), the 2026 Nissan Leaf, 2026 and newer Rivians, the Mercedes-Benz CLA, the 2026 Toyota bZ and Subaru Solterra, and every 2027 GM EV. Porsche says its MY26 Taycan and Macan Electric still include an adapter, so they stay CCS.
Do I need the Tesla app to charge?
It depends on the brand. Ford says you don't need a separate Tesla account — you can start from the FordPass app or the car's charging app — and Nissan routes payment through the MyNISSAN app, while Porsche and Honda tell owners to start in the Tesla app. Follow your own automaker's steps.
Where does this chart's information come from?
Automaker support, owner and newsroom pages where we could read them, Tesla's own support page where it was only visible in search results (https://www.tesla.com/support/charging/supercharging-other-evs blocks bots), and named news reports for prices and eligibility. Each cell shows how good its source is, and cells with no source say Unverified.
