Tesla Inc. has experienced delays in making its Supercharger network available to all electric vehicles (EVs), which has caused difficulties for EV owners like Mirriam Ferraro, a nurse from North Carolina, who drives a Kia EV6.
Ferraro faces challenges during her 160-mile trips due to the lack of compatible charging stations, particularly Tesla's Superchargers, which currently do not support her vehicle. Kia has announced plans to release a Tesla charging adapter for the EV6 by January, but the delay has left customers waiting.
Other automakers also rely on Tesla to provide these adapters, which are crucial for expanding charging accessibility. This situation highlights the ongoing challenges in the EV charging infrastructure and emphasizes the need for a unified standard in charging technology.
