Ford works out electric charging partnership with Tesla
Jag_cz
Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) announced that it struck a deal with Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) to gain access for its customers to more than 12K Tesla Superchargers across the U.S. and Canada. The arrangement will double the number of fast-chargers available to Ford electric vehicle customers starting Spring 2024.
A Tesla-developed adapter will provide Ford F-150 Lightning, Mustang Mach-E and E-Transit vehicles fitted with the Combined Charging System port access to Teslaâs V3 Superchargers. Notably, Ford (F) said it will start equipping future electric vehicles with the NACS charge port in 2025 to remove the need for an adapter for direct access to Tesla Superchargers.
"The Tesla Supercharger network has excellent reliability and the NACS plug is smaller and lighter. Overall, this provides a superior experience for customers," noted a Ford exec Marin Gjaja.
Earlier in the year, the White House announced that Tesla (TSLA) would be opening up parts of its Supercharger network to other auto manufacturers.
In addition to the Tesla (TSLA) arrangement, Ford dealers (F) are adding about 1.8K public-facing fast-chargers and locations to the BlueOval Charge Network by early 2024.
