In contrast to Tesla automobiles, different EV manufacturers have positioned their charging ports on the entrance of the automotive on the other facet of a Supercharger’s cable.
“Most Supercharger cables at [Tesla] NACS Supercharger websites ought to be capable of attain your EV cost port; nonetheless, in some instances, you may need to park over the road to be able to cost comfortably,” stated Tesla.
