Faraday Future has resurfaced in the headlines—this time with news few saw coming, especially from a company many assumed had quietly faded away.
Despite years of financial troubles, stalled production plans, lawsuits, and repeated questions about its long-term viability, the company says its future FF and FX models will adopt the North American Charging System (NACS).
Beginning in 2026, new Faraday vehicles equipped with the NACS port will gain access to Tesla’s Supercharger network across North America, Japan, and South Korea.
It is a notable development for an automaker that has struggled to get even a handful of vehicles into customer hands. But if Faraday can actually bring these next-generation models to market, Supercharger access will immediately make them far more usable for everyday drivers.
Under the plan, new FF and FX-series BEVs—including the next iteration of the FF 91 and the upcoming FX Super One MPV—will be able to plug into more than 28,000 Tesla Superchargers and more than 45,000 total fast-charging stalls when combined with existing CCS networks like ChargePoint and EVgo. The company says the move will make long-distance travel easier and reduce one of the biggest concerns for EV shoppers: charging reliability.
“Access to public chargers and the overall charging infrastructure is still one of the biggest pain points for current electric vehicle owners as well as for those considering purchasing one,” said Matthias Aydt, Global Co-CEO of FF. “Offering our users the convenience, reliability, speed, and ease of use that comes from Tesla’s Supercharging network will hopefully alleviate those concerns.”
But the announcement comes with an unavoidable caveat: Faraday Future’s track record makes any future promise uncertain. The automaker has faced layoffs, funding shortages, SEC and DOJ investigations, and even whistleblower allegations claiming the company falsified early FF 91 sales figures in an effort to boost its stock price. At one point, the company reportedly nearly lost its headquarters after falling behind on rent.
Even so, Faraday has tried to keep a foothold in the ultra-luxury EV space. It completed its first delivery of the FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance in 2023 —a $309,000 “AI Tech Luxury” flagship limited to 300 units—signalling that at least some production capability does exist.
The real test will be whether Faraday can scale beyond boutique deliveries and bring genuinely mass-market EVs to the road. Adopting NACS is a smart, consumer-friendly move. Now the company must prove it can build the cars that will actually use it.
