Stellantis opens Tesla Supercharger access for Dodge, Jeep, Ram, FIAT and Maserati EVs in North America
By Eve
Stellantis has enabled its battery electric vehicles from Dodge, Jeep, Ram, FIAT and Maserati to access the Tesla Supercharger network across the United States and Canada. The move expands fast charging options for Stellantis EV drivers by adding Tesla's network to existing public charging infrastructure. PR Newswire carried the announcement.
Why it matters
The integration adds competitive pressure on independent CPOs as a major OEM steers customers toward Tesla's proprietary network. Procurement teams planning multi brand fleet charging may need to account for Tesla connector compatibility in future RFPs.

Tesla blames battery supply for flat sales as Q3 2026 deliveries fall 2% year on year
Tesla delivered 486,532 vehicles in Q3 2026, down 2% from 497,099 a year earlier, and attributed the decline to battery pack availability rather than demand. The company claims it ended the quarter with its largest passenger vehicle backlog in four years, though it provided no figure. Global inventory fell to 11 days of supply from 27 days in Q1 2026, as Tesla delivered 22,141 more vehicles than it produced in the quarter.
Why it matters
For charging infrastructure planners, a claimed supply constraint at the world's largest EV maker suggests continued fleet growth pressure even if quarterly sales dipped, potentially sustaining demand for public and workplace charging capacity. The inventory drawdown and stated backlog signal Tesla expects higher delivery volumes ahead, which could accelerate site utilisation at existing charge point networks.
Tesla adds V2L and V2H to all new Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in United States
Tesla has expanded Vehicle to Load (V2L) and Vehicle to Home (V2H) capabilities, branded as Powershare, to all new Model 3 and Model Y vehicles ordered in the United States and Puerto Rico after 1 October 2026. Previously, only the Cybertruck offered both features, while some Model Y versions had V2L alone. Tesla notes that some vehicles produced before 1 October 2026 may also support Powershare, though not all units from that period are capable.
Why it matters
Fleet operators and charging infrastructure planners must now account for bidirectional charging demand as Tesla's mass market models gain V2H capability, potentially reducing grid strain during peak periods. The rollout creates new opportunities for managed charging services and home energy systems that integrate EV batteries as backup power sources.
Rivian takes second place in US EV brand sales for Q3 2026, driven by Amazon fleet contract
Rivian sold 19,239 electric vehicles in Q3 2026, a 45.7% year on year increase that placed it second among EV brands in the United States, according to Cox Automotive data. The majority of sales came from the EDV500/700 commercial fleet vehicle supplied under Rivian's Amazon contract, rather than the consumer R2 model. Tesla remained dominant with 144,094 sales in the quarter, whilst Toyota took third place with 12,904 units and Cadillac fourth with 12,358.
Why it matters
The figures highlight the commercial fleet segment as a major volume driver for EV manufacturers, with Rivian's Amazon delivery van contract proving more significant than consumer models. For charge point operators and procurement teams, the growth in purpose built commercial EVs signals expanding demand for depot and fleet charging infrastructure beyond passenger vehicle networks.
