For years, Stellantis owners watched Ford, GM, Rivian, Hyundai, Mercedes, Volvo, and practically every other automaker latch onto Tesla’s charging network — the largest, fastest, most reliable in North America.

Meanwhile, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram fans sat on the sidelines with the same question:
“When are WE getting Supercharger access?”

Well, the wait is over.
Stellantis finally caved — and the impact is massive.

This single move instantly transforms the future of Stellantis EVs, crushes range anxiety, and puts models like the Jeep Wagoneer S, Dodge Charger Daytona, Ram REV, and the upcoming Jeep Recon on equal footing with the EV giants.

Let’s break down what this means, why it took so long, and why this is the biggest Stellantis EV announcement to date.


Stellantis Was the Last Major Holdout — Until Now

For nearly two years, Stellantis refused to join Ford, GM, or anyone else in adopting Tesla’s NACS charging standard. Executives argued they wanted “competition,” “choice,” and “freedom from monopoly.”

But with public charging networks struggling — especially Electrify America, with uptime issues and constant broken stalls — Stellantis customers were left hanging.

Even worse:
Their first wave of EVs, including the Wagoneer S and Charger Daytona, were about to launch into a market where EVERY competitor already had Supercharger access.

That was a recipe for disaster.

So Stellantis finally made the call:

Starting early 2026, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Chrysler, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Peugeot EVs will all gain access to Tesla’s Supercharger network across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

This instantly adds 28,000+ chargers, including 15,000+ V3 and V4 Superchargers, to the Stellantis EV ecosystem.

EV anxiety?
Dead.


Adapters First — Then Native Ports

Since the transition is happening mid-product-cycle, Stellantis is taking a two-step approach:

2026 and earlier EVs

Jeep Wagoneer S
Dodge Charger Daytona
Ram REV
Fiat 500e
Peugeot and other global models

✔ Will use Tesla Supercharger access via adapters
✔ Similar to what Ford and GM are doing in the short term

2026+ New EV Models

Jeep Recon
Future Dodge EV muscle models
Ram midsize electric truck
Chrysler’s new EV crossover
Next-gen Alfa Romeo electric SUVs

✔ Will ship with native NACS ports
✔ No adapters needed
✔ Full compatibility from day one

Finally — Stellantis joins the future instead of fighting it.


Why This Matters: The Supercharger Network Is King

No other charging network comes close to Tesla’s:

  • Most reliable in North America
  • Fastest charging speeds (V3 and V4)
  • Best uptime
  • Smartest stall layout
  • Accurate charger availability data in real time
  • Less crowding and better maintenance

Electrify America?
PlugShare reviews paint the picture — long waits, broken ports, derated chargers, and inconsistent speeds.

Superchargers?
Plug in, charge fast, done.

This is especially critical for Jeep and Dodge buyers.
These customers expect:

  • Long road trips
  • Remote adventures
  • Cross-country drives
  • High-speed charging reliability

Now they finally get it.


CCS Is Finished — The Final Nail in the Coffin

With Stellantis switching over, the writing isn’t just on the wall — it’s chiseled in stone:

CCS is dead.

Ford flipped.
GM flipped.
Hyundai flipped.
Mercedes flipped.
Rivian flipped.
Toyota and Honda signed on.
Volkswagen is evaluating.

And now, Stellantis — owner of 14 brands — has flipped too.

This makes NACS the unofficial universal standard for North American EV charging.

For customers?
This is the best possible outcome.

For CCS?
Good luck.


This Also Opens the Door to Global Expansion

Tesla confirmed the partnership extends beyond North America.

2027: Japan and South Korea get access

This is a massive win for:

  • Jeep’s international markets
  • Stellantis’ Japanese brands (like Alfa Romeo and Fiat)
  • Charging infrastructure in regions where EV adoption is growing fast

A future where everybody uses the same plug is finally becoming real.


So Why the Sudden Change of Heart?

Simple: They had no choice.

The upcoming Jeep Recon, Charger Daytona, and Ram EV trucks are halo products.

You cannot launch a flagship EV — especially a performance one — with no access to the best fast-charging network on the continent.

It would have been a sales disaster.

Stellantis did the math.
And the math said:

“Join Tesla or fall behind — permanently.”

They made the right call.


Final Verdict: Stellantis EVs Just Leveled Up

With this single announcement, Stellantis EVs went from:

❌ “Maybe someday”
to
Road-trip ready

❌ “Hope the charger works”
to
Plug into the most reliable network in existence

❌ “EV customers won’t consider Jeep or Dodge”
to
Serious competition for Ford, GM, Tesla, and Rivian

This isn’t just about plugs.
This is about legitimacy.

For the first time, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram EVs are ready for real adventure — and real customers.

So…
Charger Daytona at a Supercharger — yes or hell yes?
