Road-tripping in a non-Tesla EV is about to get easier for more battery-powered vehicle owners in the United States. That’s because the list of non-Tesla automakers that will have access to what is widely regarded as the best DC fast charging network in the U.S. will soon double in size.

Currently, EVs built by six car manufacturers can top-up at over 15,000 Superchargers across the U.S. and Canada. These are Ford, Rivian, General Motors, Volvo, Polestar and Nissan. When looking at individual brands, the list is even longer, considering General Motors makes EVs under the Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac nameplates.

Seven other automakers will get access to Tesla’s DC fast charging network, according to Tesla’s dedicated webpage that details the transition.

BMW, Genesis, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia and Lucid are listed under the “Coming Soon” portion of the site, along with Mercedes-Benz, which announced that its EV owners will be able to top up at Superchargers starting next month.

Apart from Mercedes-Benz, we don’t know exactly when these car bands will get access, but judging from past entries, it shouldn’t take more than a month or two until everything is buttoned up and ready to go. More often than not, the bottleneck is securing a dependable NACS to CCS1 adapter supplier that can deliver enough units to customers in need of one.

As a reminder, the vast majority of non-Tesla EVs on American roads are equipped with a CCS1 charge port, whereas the vast majority of Tesla Supercharger stalls have NACS connectors which were initially designed to work exclusively with Tesla EVs. For a non-Tesla EV to charge at a Supercharger, an adapter is needed.

Some automakers have turned to Tesla to get their adapter supply, while others are working with third-party companies like Lectron to ship manufacturer-approved units to customers. Speaking of Lectron, it claims that Hyundai and Kia EVs will gain access to the Supercharger network tomorrow (January 15), but we can’t confirm the information.

Even more non-Tesla EVs will be able to use Superchargers in North America by the end of this year, as all major automakers have inked deals with Tesla, including Stellantis, Volkswagen, Porsche, Toyota and Honda. We have a list of all the non-Tesla automakers that have access to the Supercharger network–it’s regularly updated with new entries.
