Stellantis gains access to Tesla Supercharger network

Stellantis has become the last major automaker to gain access to the Tesla Supercharger network, North America's largest fast-charging system. With an adapter, nearly every electric vehicle on the U.S. market can now use this infrastructure.

This move is a logical continuation of Tesla's strategy to open its network, which began in 2022 with the introduction of the NACS standard. Since then, Ford, GM, Hyundai, BMW, and other brands have gradually joined the system.

For Stellantis, this includes models from Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, and Maserati. Currently, these vehicles require adapters costing around $230–250, as native NACS ports won't be available until 2027.

Drivers can connect through either the Stellantis or Tesla apps, with Plug & Charge functionality to be added later.

In practice, this marks the completion of a key phase in EV infrastructure development. Fragmented charging networks are gradually giving way to a unified ecosystem where compatibility is becoming the standard.

This shift is significant because it changes not only convenience but also the nature of market competition. Where manufacturers once competed on infrastructure, the focus now shifts to the vehicles themselves—their technology, price, and range. Charging is ceasing to be a competitive advantage and becoming a basic service, much like what happened with gasoline stations in the past.
