Rivian starts offering adapters to access Tesla’s Supercharger network

Owners can access a free adapter through a QR code in their vehicle's infotainment system, and future vehicles will have the tech built-in.

Rivian customers can now request an adapter to tap into Tesla’s vast North American network of Superchargers, making it the second automaker to do so behind Ford. The company announced Monday that it will start shipping adapters to Rivian owners — one per VIN — “this spring” for free, though it didn’t say if it will eventually charge a fee. For instance, Rivian’s existing R1S SUV and R1T pickup truck will be produced with built-in Tesla charing tech next year.
