Consumer Reports found Tesla’s Superchargers easier to use, in more convenient locations, and more likely to be in working order than public DC fast chargers from EVGo, ElectrifyAmerica, ChargePoint, and other brands.
Any non-Tesla EV except for the Nissan Leaf and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (which use an incompatible plug standard called CHAdeMO) can currently charge at one of the limited number of Tesla Superchargers that offers a Magic Dock adapter.
Several automakers recently announced that owners of their EVs will have access to Tesla’s network of 12,000 Superchargers beginning next year. They also announced that they will adopt Tesla’s NACS charging standard on their upcoming models, which will allow them to plug in at many newer Superchargers even without the Magic Dock, giving owners more options when they’re far from home.
