Much to Farley’s chagrin, his kids kept pointing out all the Tesla Superchargers along the route, while Farley had to explain, “we can’t use those ones, guys.” By expanding Ford EVs’ charging options to include Tesla Superchargers, Ford EV owners will now have more than twice as many high-speed level 3 charging options as they had previously. ![]() In the long term, Ford says they will be adopting Tesla’s NACS (North American Charging Standard) charging plug for use on future Ford electric vehicles manufactured for the North American market.įarley recounted a recent family trip out to Lake Tahoe in one of Ford’s EVs. In the short term, Ford EVs will use charging adapters, provided by Tesla (at a nominal cost). And the revenue gained for Tesla will allow Tesla to build out the network even further. With Ford vehicles able to access the Supercharger network, long distance driving as well as high speed charging for city residents becomes much more convenient for Ford EV owners. Why does this matter? Tesla’s Supercharger network is widely recognized as being the most widespread and most reliable high speed EV charging network. On a Twitter spaces discussion earlier today, Ford CEO James Farley and Tesla CEO Elon Musk discussed a partnership whereby Ford EVs will gain access to Tesla’s extensive high-speed Supercharger network of over 12,000 high-speed chargers starting in 2024. ![]()
