Tesla is working on an additional solution—an extension cable (NACS to NACS). According to the manufacturer, it will be available for purchase in the future.

The opening of the Tesla Supercharging network is a positive thing for the EV industry but it brings challenges due to the specifics of the older Supercharging dispensers. As we discussed many times already, the cable at V3 Supercharging stalls is short because Tesla designed it for its own EVs, with a standardized charging port location in the rear-left section of a car. Non-Tesla EVs, which are getting access to the network, might have charging ports in different locations.

' The main solution for the future is the installation of the V4 Supercharging dispensers, which are taller and equipped with a longer cable. In theory, it should be good enough to reach the charging inlet of any EV. However, there are thousands of V3 dispensers in the U.S., which will cause some issues if the network is fully opened to all non-Tesla EVs.
