For those folks who picked up a Dodge Charger Daytona or one of Stellantis’ other EVs, here’s some welcome news.
While Tesla opens up its Supercharger ecosystem to more and more OEMs, Stellantis has been on the back foot against its Big Three rivals. Now, though, owners of Dodge, Fiat, Maserati, Jeep and Ram EVs will have access to the sprawling 27,500-location charging network.
It’s a bit of a double-edged sword, considering the automaker has been one of many canceling electric models left and right. There won’t be an expanded Charger Daytona lineup with either an affordable base R/T option or a range-topping Banshee, for example. Jeep’s 4xe plug-in hybrids are gone. Fiat just has the tiny tot 500e, and Chrysler…well, let’s just say it’s had a couple false starts with its electrification plans.
For those who did buy into Stellantis’ EV pitch, however, this is indeed good news. For 2024-2026 Dodge Charger Daytona owners, as well as anyone who has a Jeep Wagoneer S, buys a new Jeep Recon, uses a Ram ProMaster EV in their fleet or, interestingly, owns one of several Maserati Folgore models like the GranTurismo, GranCabrio and Grecale, this opens up your world a little bit. All those EVs will require a CCS-to-NACS adapter (which Mopar sells under Stellantis’ Free2Move brand). The 2027 Dodge Charger Daytona will be the company’s first product to have a NACS port as standard equipment.
Short of packing an adapter with you, some Tesla V3 and V6 superchargers have a “Magic Dock” adapter built-in. One noteworthy inclusion in the coming months should be the range-extended Ram 1500 REV, when it finally hits the market. Even though Stellantis canceled the fully electric Ram 1500 last fall, the upcoming variant which still packs a sizable battery pack will support 400-volt DC fast-charging.
