From Tom Moloughney.
I received my NACS to CCS1 adapter from Ford a few days ago and tested it on my F-150 Lightning as I previously did with the A2Z and Lectron adapters. This is the official adapter that is made by Tesla and is currently the only one that Tesla and Ford endorse for use on the Supercharger network.
The adapter will allow non-Tesla vehicles to charge at Tesla Superchargers, provided the manufacturer of the EV has an agreement in place with Tesla.
