Image: GM Polestar Joins The Rush To Tesla's Charging Standard With Tesla, no matter the model, the exterior charging port is always in the same location: On the driver’s side rear fender. The Superchargers are all made for ease of charging Teslas. Other automakers have different port locations. GM Ultium platformed EVs (including the Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX) all have their charging port on the driver’s side fender, just behind the front tire. Same for the Ford F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E. Hyundai and Kia EV charging ports are on the passenger side rear fender. Suffice to say, none of this works for non Tesla vehicles that have to use Superchargers and Tesla owners hate it ....owners of non-Tesla EVs are often unsure of how to actually park when they pull up to a charger. One Blazer EV owner on Reddit complained about the charging cable being too short. Another Cadillac Lyriq owner posted a photo of an extremely overstretched cable, albeit last year at a Magic Dock location. A separate Lyriq owner was spotted taking up three separate spots (as Tesla showed how not to do in the illustration above). It’s not clear if this was due to the cable not reaching or because the owner wasn’t sure how to properly park the vehicle at the charger. Regardless, there’s clearly both an education issue and an infrastructure issue at play here. Advertisement
