We had an Ionic5 charging next to us on Sunday. There was also an F-150 Lightning on the other side. We've only used super chargers about 5 times in the past almost 2 years. This was the first time any other brand was charging with us.

If this was just approved, how was the Ionic charging with us before the 25th?

I still haven't seen a non Tesla at Tesla superchargers. Hopefully that changes. Although I'm returning the Ioniq in the next few months, I'm still going to get my free CCS adapter :D

I haven't had to use the Superchargers much, but when I have I've only been the only non-Tesla at that location. Charging has always been flawless. The Ford-provided adapter is very high quality and was made by Tesla. Ford has now added Lectron as another "OEM" for the adapters. Everyone entitled to a free one now has one, and they are only available for purchase now.

Great! You'll have to try it out and let us know how it works

read above. no free adapter for you. :peep:

edit: i got that wrong. :o

i surely will. i already setup the app, put my ioniq in it, and setup payment method. will have my adapter soon and will try it in town even if i don't need it.

Darn 😫

why do you care, you're turning in the vehicle soon anyway.

My daughter can use it for her Bolt. It would come in handy if she ever decided to take it on a trip instead of borrowing my Tesla :)

plenty of third party options, you'll just have to crack open that wallet and watch washington or franklin blink in the sunlight. :D

I know, but when I heard the word free, something stirred deep inside me, and it wasn't gas :D

Why not? Here are the terms:



2.5+ years ago is clearly before Jan 31, 2025, and the Ioniq hatchback is explicitly included. So unless his return date was this week (and thus he wouldn't still have the car on April 1), he should be eligible.

thanks geko... apologies amirza, looks like i misinterpreted the short version i posted.
enjoy your freebie!

Free is good 😊 Thanks @geko29 👍
