BIZARRE: Watch the first tesla nacs to ccs1 adapter in action - What They Never Told You

There are a lot of EV charging adapters out there, but there's never been one that will allow non-Tesla EVs to charge at Tesla Superchargers in North America - until now. That's because even if such an adapter was developed, it wouldn't work because Tesla Superchargers have an authentication process that ensures only authorized vehicles get sent power from the station. 

Tesla vehicles are currently the only vehicles that are authorized to drink from the coveted Supercharger network, but that's about to change. Once Ford announced it would be transitioning to Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector, the industry followed and Acura, Fisker, General Motors, Honda, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Rivian, Polestar, and Volvo have all followed Ford with similar announcements.
