Ford and Tesla Announce Partnership to Provide Nationwide EV Charging

  • Ford announced that their electric vehicle owners will have access to Tesla's extensive Supercharger network starting in 2024.
  • Ford's current EVs will utilize an adapter to access the Superchargers but their next generation models will have Tesla's charging port built-in.
  • The partnership doubles the number of fast chargers available to Ford customers and helps Tesla qualify for federal funds to expand their network.
  • Some Tesla owners worry the increased use may lead to longer wait times, but Tesla says they have no plans to throttle charging speeds for non-Tesla vehicles.
  • The cooperation signals a new era of partnership between major automakers on developing EV infrastructure.
