Tesla’s new Magic Dock opens the Supercharger network to non-Tesla EVs, although there are still some kinks to work out.
and embarked on an eight-hour journey to get our hands on the nearest Magic Dock Supercharger in Santa Cruz, California.As this is written, there are only a handful of Superchargers stations in the U.S. with the Magic Dock installed. These Superchargers are all existing locations that have been retrofitted with the new adapter that makes it possible for non-Tesla EVs with a CCS DC fast-charging port to plug in.
The ID4 and Ioniq 5 have their charging ports located closer to the passenger-side rear corner, making it easier to get the port within reach of the cord. However, these ports are not situated on the same side as Tesla vehicles. To avoid blocking access to other chargers, we reversed these vehicles into two spots adjacent to the F-150, positioning them at an angle. We also attempted to back them in normally, which only worked when we parked in the spot for an adjacent charger.
We also experimented with approaching from the opposite side of the charger to enable the cable to reach the ID4 and Ioniq 5 by parking normally. Unfortunately, the presence of a concrete wheel block on the ground prevented us from getting the cars close enough for the cord to reach. Nevertheless, parking behind a charger could be a viable solution if a wheel block or similar obstruction isn't there.
Tesla's V3 Supercharger has the capacity to deliver up to a 250-kW charging rate for Tesla vehicles, but the actual power delivered is dependent on the electric vehicle's ability. A sticker on the stalls in Santa Cruz indicated that V3 Superchargers are rated for 500 volts and 350 amps. With our F-150 and ID4, we experienced fast-charging performance comparable to other 150-kW and higher DC fast chargers.
